Breakdancing, also known as breaking or b-boying/b-girling, is a style of street dance that has its roots in the Bronx, New York City, during the early 1970s. It is an energetic and expressive dance style that incorporates elements of acrobatics, martial arts, and funk music.
Breakdancing is a competitive discipline, with dancers competing in battles or competitions to showcase their skills and creativity. B-boys and b-girls are judged on their footwork, power moves, freezes, and overall stage presence. Breakdancing has gained international recognition and is now practiced in countries all over the world.
