PEACOCK What is Breaking?
Breaking, also known as b-boying, b-girling or breakdancing, is a style of street dance that originated in New York City, and as of this year, is officially an Olympic sport.
Breakdancing consists mainly of four kinds of movement—toprock (a foot movement performed while standing), downrock (a movement performed with hands and feed on the floor), power moves (acrobatic inspired fast moves that are often the centerpieces of routines), and freezes (pausing all movement in an interesting position).
