The dance gained in worldwide popularity during the '80s and '90s with break-dance moves being incorporated into movies and musical theater productions and European and Asian aficionados adding their own exuberant spins and whirls to the mix.
Breaking also known as “Break Dancing", is an improvisational street dance that originated in the South Bronx during the early 1970s. It is a creative mix influenced by dance, martial arts, and gymnastics.
Its name originated from the dancing that emerged when DJs started using the drum solos, also known as drum breaks from funk songs as the main element of the music. Originally, the DJ would play the drum break on one record and extend the break by replaying or looping the same break on another record. The dancing to these drum breaks created a new art form known as Breaking. It is said that a duo known as the "N**r Twins" were the very first B-Boys to be seen breaking during one of DJ Kool Herc's shows.
As the dance grew in popularity and commercialization, the term “Break Dancing” was coined much to the breaking community’s chagrin. This term was originally an attempt by the mass media to explain the art form to the mainstream audience. In doing so, the breaking community shunned the term “Break Dancing” as it associated it with a movement to commercialize the dance without upholding the integrity of the art form.
