Breakdancing is a high-energy, acrobatic street dance style that originated in the early 1970s in the Bronx, New York City. It was developed primarily by African American and Puerto Rican youth and is one of the original elements of hip-hop culture, alongside DJing, MCing, and graffiti art. Movements include Toprock, Downrock footwork, windmills, flares, headspins, and poses such as baby freeze and elbow freeze.
