Breakdancing Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying, is an athletic style of street dance. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: "toprock", "downrock", "power moves", and "freezes". Breakdancing is typically set to hip-hop, funk, and breakbeat music, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo and beat patterns.
Power move Power moves are moves loosely defined as relying on speed, momentum, and acrobatic elements for performance. They are prominent in B-boying, often the centerpieces of routines featuring the other elements (toprock, downrock, and freezes) that make up breaking. Also, power moves is near to gymnastics more than dancing. B-boys who focus heavily on power moves and execute them as a main part of their routines are often called "power heads". It was discovered by DJ Kool Herc. The definition of B-boying is basically break dancing and gets into the music.
