What It Do? My name is Yazmeen, but
you knew that. Today I will be talking to
you (my audience) about a topic that is
close to my heart; Break Dancing.
 Break
dancing started in the early 1970’s. In
the Bronx New York.
 African Americas gang members substitute
violence with dance, and would participate in
“dance battles”.
 The break dancing moves originated and
developed from a James Brown move; “The
Good Foot”.
 Old
school breaking moves only consist of
Floor Work or Floor Rocks, very complicated
leg movement.
 Some Head spins and Backspins.
 Nowadays
there is more of a variety when
it comes to break dance moves.
 Such as Windmills, Broncos, L Kicks,
Gainers, etc.
 “Ronnie
Boy” Known as the best Bboy in
the world. Member Do Super Cr3w.
 Dominic “D-Trix” Sandoval.
Former member of Quest Crew.
 Battle: A
challenge between an individual
or group of B-boys or B-girls.
 Bite: Stealing someone else moves or
style.
 Bboy: Bronx Boy Or Boogie Boy.
 Combination: When 2 or more moves
executed right after each other.
 Crew: A group of b-boys down with each
other.
 Perfections: B-boys
best moves, the move
that takes opponents out.
 Routine: Connected or executed
movements done in a practiced
sequence.
 Street Dancer: Overall term referring to
break, boogie and freestyle dancers.

I don't know how break dance, but I do know
why people do it. Dancers B. Dance to let out
emotion and creativity.
 A lot of people don’t have the strength to
move like b boys do.
 I have high praise for the people who push
themselves to be able to do these tricks.
