Break dancing is a highly technical street dance with strong physical characteristics and personal style. Dancers are collectively called b-boy or b-girl, and the dances are called breaking, b-boy and B-Girl.

The English name comes from the interval of music used in accompaniment, which is called "intermission dance", transliterated as "Blake dance", called "floor dance" by Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also translated as "break dance" figuratively, which describes the rapid rotation and tumbling action with the head, shoulders, back and knees as the center of gravity and close to the ground.

Fracture origin:

Breaking was founded by James Braud, a black singer on the east coast of the United States. When he sang a new song on 1949 TV, he created a strange action. Young people compete to imitate and hold dance competitions in the street. Because this kind of dance is mostly performed in the street, it is also called "street dance", that is, street dance.

After this kind of dance spread to Los Angeles on the west coast, there was a mechanical dance that imitated the movements of robots or puppets. Hip-hop, a blend of the two major schools in the United States, is very popular among young people.
