Breakdancing, also known as b-boying or breaking, has its roots in the South Bronx, New York City, during the early 1970s. It emerged as a part of hip-hop culture and quickly gained popularity. Breakdancing consists of four main elements:

 

Toprock: The upright dance moves performed while standing. It's the initial step and sets the rhythm.

 

Footwork: This element involves intricate floor movements using the dancer's hands and feet. It showcases agility and creativity.

 

Freezes: Freeze moves are static poses often held at the climax of a dance routine, demonstrating strength and balance.

 

Power Moves: These are dynamic and acrobatic movements like spins, flips, and windmills, displaying the dancer's athleticism.

 

Breakdancing has evolved over the years and gained international recognition as a vibrant and influential dance form within the hip-hop culture.
