The Blend Within “Dance” B’Boying (Breakin)

Originated among the urban youth (mainly African American and Puerto Rican) in the early seventies in the Bronx, NY, US. Partly inspired, influenced by: Soul and Salsa, and quickly incorporated elements from Uprock, Kung Fu & Gymnastics amongst others. Breaker, B-boy and B-girl are the terms that described the dancers who started performing on the break parts of a song. Thus “B” from the “break” in a song that was extended by the D.J and became known as breakbeats in Hiphop culture.
