Thank You so much Kiadorin! It really shows that dance is universal and the emotional expression is a very real part of any dance form. Music also is just as important in helping the dancer express vital elements of dance.Just as "any idiot that can spin on his head" is not a breakdancer, nor is any idiot wearing a bedlah is a bellydancer.
Shanazel. B-boy or b-girl is a term that describes a breakdancer. Breakdancing went mainstream about 20 yrs ago, but the dance form was born in the urban landscape of America, primarily New York. Breakdancing is typified by athletic turns, spins, pops and locks often done on the floor but also standing up. Music of choice is heavy electronic R&B with strong percussive elements. One could say that hip-hop(rap) genre is an offshoot of breakdancing and the hip-hop style dancing reflects the music and its roots in breakdancing.
For obvious reasons there are not many 40 yr old b-boyz and b-girlz still dancing
