What kind of dance is breaking?

Breaking’s Chinese name is floor dance. Breaking absorbs a large number of elements and movements from different sports and art forms such as Capoeira (Brazilian war dance), gymnastics, and Chinese martial arts (from Hong Kong Shaw Brothers movies). Today's Breaking is formed, which is divided into four major contents: TopRock (rock steps), Footwork (leg movements), Freeze (air freeze), and Power Move (overall movement).

Extended information:

Breaking originated in the Bronx in New York City in the 1970s. At that time, many DJs in the United States brought turntables and speakers to hold various music performances on the streets. The party became a trend, and more and more people gradually became accustomed to dancing in the interlude without lyrics in party music, so one of the best DJs named Kool Herc invented the idea of ??combining the interlude of two turntables. They were spliced ??together to obtain a longer dance time, and the break beat music form was born.

The person who dances during this interlude time is called Break Boy, that is, B Boy (breaker), and the dance danced by B Boy is called B Boying , and was called Breaking in subsequent commercial promotions and is still popular today.
