Breakdancing or breaking, also called b-boying (when performed by men) or b-girling (women), is a style of street dance originated by African Americans and Puerto Ricans in the Bronx borough of New York City.[1][2][3][4]
Breakdancing consists mainly of four kinds of movement—toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes—and is typically set to songs containing drum breaks, especially in funk, soul, and hip-hop. Its modern dance elements originated among the poor youth of New York during the early 1980s.[5] It is tied to the birth of hip-hop, whose DJs developed rhythmic break for dancers.[6]
The dance form has expanded globally, with an array of organizations and independent competitions supporting its growth. Breaking became an Olympic sport at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris,[7] as per a December 7, 2020 decision by the International Olympic Committee, after a proposal by the World DanceSport Federation.[8]
