Breakdancing- I chose to write about breakdancing because its something ive loved since i was a kid and something ive been doing for a while now. People see it as just messing around and as something cool and fun to do, but to me its an outlet and a way of life. Music is my life and dancing is a way i express myself. Dancing keeps me active and not wasting time sittin on my couch watching TV all day. Everyone has a thing that the do that they enjoy, wether its singing, video games, writing, reading, etc.. Dancing is what i enjoy. Breakdancing is something that isnt easy to learn or do. It requiers alot of training and excersize. Alot of the moves that are use in breaking are incorperated with martial arts and different cultural dances. Breaking was developed in the Bronx, but started in japan with an up-roar. There are many different styles of Breakdancing. The true godfather of breakdancing was James Brown. His hit song names "Get on the Good foot". The song originated a dance called "Good Foot" but was later renamed as "B-Boy". Once Breakdancing started DJs all over were mixing differnt various sounds together that would forever impact breaking. In 1977 breakdancing crews were popping up all over New York. One of the most iconic was "Rocksteady Crew". They helps upstart Breakdancing into a whole new level. There are 4 elements of breakdancing. They are B-Boying, MCs, DJs, and Graffiti. The 4 elements are what made up of breakdancing and helps put it in motion. Every element is incorperated in the creation of breakdancing.
