Breaking
Breaking
What happens when poor kids want to dance, but all they see in their city is violence, gangs and no dance schools? They create a dance style themselves, a dance style which is soon to be known worldwide – Breaking. Breaking is perhaps the most widely known and dynamic street dance style, full of acrobatic tricks, lightning-fast footwork, standing and spinning on your head or on your hands. Gone are the days when breakdancing was a dance practised only in backstreets and underpasses. Today, breakdance is a dance with its own history, movement base and philosophy, followed by countless theatre performances, dance battles and events around the world. At the heart of it all is a large and united community of breakers around the world, which includes anyone and everyone who considers themselves a “B-Girl” or “B-Boy”.
