Breakdancing

Breakdancing has a vast history that involves many important people, some who saw it as a way to express feelings, causing new moves to be invented. It was started where it was least expected , with James Brown and the "Good Foot." After that people such as Afrika Bambaataa started getting ideas, a new way to dance came into play. In 1969, James Brown came out with his new hit record "Get on the Good Foot." Then at one of his performances he busted out with the "Good Foot," starting a whole new dance craze. The best way to describe the "Good Foot" is to imagine a majority marching in a parade taking steps high at the knee but keeping the leg raised at the knee in the air for a beat before dropping it down and simultaneously raising the other leg. The "Good Foot" also brought along moves such as "floating" and even the moonwalk (Bomb Hip-Hop magazine issue #46). Soon enough the "Good Foot" evolved into breakdancing, which was perfectly suited for competition. The best breakdancers, or B-boys as they were commonly known, in opposing gangs would battle dance wise instead of fighting. They would dance over turf, or because someone stepped on someone else's shoe. Often times, a battle would be to


Now bring the right leg around in a wide circular motion and at the same time move from a sitting position and roll into a ball with the balance on the top of the back. Each member is incredibly talented and has been featured in at least one, if not more, breakdancing films. Halos can be incredibly dangerous if not performed correctly. A headspin is exactly what it sounds like, being able to spin on one's head. Formal crews were soon formed, they not only performed together, but they also developed their own dance routines. Swipes are an awesome move to watch, but they are a bit confusing. Some breakers prefer to wear a helmet when they do a headspin, but this doesn't look as good and is easier to do because a helmet is smoother than a head. The Rock Steady Crew will always be around, but who knows who the new members may be or what style they will be. Extend the left leg first, then the right. A lot of breakdancers like to wear beanies. The Rock Steady Crew was especially talented, but a lot of people put them down for being old fashioned. First lift the right hand and move the left leg where the right hand was. Old-school Puma shoes are very good to wear for breaking because they have grip on the toe and on the heel. Next swing the right leg in a wide arc, switch hands, now the right hand is down. A 1990 is performed by being able to spin one's body around in circles on one hand while upside down.
