What is B-boying?
B-boying, breakin’ or breakdancing as it is most commonly known is an urban dance culture with an almost 40 year history that originated in New York City in the early 1970’s. It is a positive culture that embraces all nationalities and encourages fitness, friendship and sporting competition. Often misunderstood, b-boying has in recent years resurfaced and evolved to become an inspiring artform and global phenomenon with films such as “Planet B-boy” (2009) winning multiple film festival awards and being watched in cinemas worldwide.
