The Resurgence of Bboying

Nowadays, B-boy events such as B-BOY SUMMIT and ROCK STEADY ANNIVERSARY are organized every year and many b-boys from all over the world get together, learn bboying and keep the culture alive and even try to take bboying history into next level. The Resurgence of Bboying happened around 1990. there are no records about how exactly it happened. probably it was done by the support of real b-boys who never quit bboying and learn how to breakdance even during the winter period of bboying. As far as known, it was Calfornia where bboying gained its popularity again early.

Bboying, often called “breakdancing”, is a popular style of street dance that was created and developed as part of hip-hop culture among African Americans and Latino youths in New York City. The dance consists of four primary elements: toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes. It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres of music that are often remixed to prolong the musical breaks.

the term “breakdancing” is looked down upon by those immersed in hip-hop culture. “Breakdancer” may even be used disparagingly to refer to those who learned the dance for personal gain rather than commitment to hip-hop culture. actually bboying music is not restricted to hip-hop music as long as the tempo and beat pattern conditions are met. A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. These dancers often participate in battles, formal or informal dance competitions between two individuals or two crews. Although the term “breakdance” is frequently used, “b-boying” and “breaking” are the original terms used to refer to the dance. These terms are preferred by the majority of the art form’s pioneers and most notable practitioners.
