Break dancing or Bboying (breaking) is a social dance that is part of hip hop culture, along with graffiti, rap and djing. This element was born in the communities of New York neighborhoods such as the Bronx and Brooklyn, in the United States, in the 1960s.
“Break dance” is a commercial term used by the media to call this dance, but its real name is breakin.
This would reach a higher recognition in the 1980s, exactly with the “boom” of 85, thanks to the influence of movies like Flashdance, Breakin’ and Beat Street, which spread the movement throughout the planet, especially Europe.
