Details
Breakdancing, also known as breaking or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic and acrobatic dance style that originated in the streets of New York City during the 1970s. It is characterized by its powerful moves, intricate footwork, and impressive freezes. Breakdancing combines elements of dance, gymnastics, and martial arts, often performed to hip-hop and funk music. Dancers, known as b-boys and b-girls, showcase their skills through toprock (standing moves), downrock (floor work), power moves (spins and flips), and freezes (poses held on the ground). Renowned for its creativity and individuality, breakdancing encourages dancers to express themselves and push the limits of their physical abilities. Whether in a dance battle or on stage, breakdancing offers a thrilling and visually captivating performance. Come learn basic Breakdance and Floorworks steps, moves, and techniques with Juan. Breakdance is a diverse, unique, and compelling community-driven artform. Rooted in Black and Brown communities between NYC, breaking is more than a dance, it's a global culture and a 2024 Olympic Sport. Let's learn together
