Breakdancing

Breakdancing originated in the 1970s in New York.  This style of dance was popular among African Americans and Puerto Rican youths in the beginning in New York, but the style has spread.  Media helped to make breakdancing popular around the world.   Breakdancing is also known as b-boying, and people who breakdance are known as b-boys, b-girls, or breakers.
I find breakdancing very interesting and fun to watch.  It's amazing how this style of dance began in New York, but then quickly spread to other parts of the world.  I like how dance battles occur between break dancers because it allows competition.  The competition allows people to show off what they know and showcase their talent.
