Description

Dancing is a form of performance art where the movement of the body is purposefully choreographed in specific sequences and actions. Performed under a large range of circumstances and with varied intentions, dancing is most commonly used for social, competitive, ceremonial, sacred, theatrical, or martial functions.

Dance, and the trained movements associated with specific dance styles such as ballet, jazz, ballroom, tap, hip-hop, and contemporary dance, has origins that are often deeply integrated with the social and cultural histories and stories around the world. While dancing is often naturally paired with musical accompaniment, dance can be performed separately and may often even create its own form of audio—as is the case with tap dancing.

Breakdancing | Breaking - Female Dancers

Breakdancing is a media constructed term to refer to b-boying or breaking, which is a form of street dancing invented in the United States by Black and Puerto Rican youth in the 1970s. Originally coined as b-boying, the term breakdancing was created by the media after the dance form began to gain popularity. Breaking has a wide range of variety, but typically consists of four different moves: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. B-boys used to have a style defined by their city, but with the spread of the internet and YouTube videos being watched in the scene individual styles have lost definition.
