Popular science and break dancing tips
Originated in the United States in the 70s of the last century, breaking is a combination of many dance elements and art forms, and is very popular among young people in party and entertainment venues, especially in street communities. In the early 80s, with the spread of film, music and other media, break dancing gradually attracted the attention of mainstream society. For example, in the 1983 film "Flash Dance", although there was only a brief scene of hip-hop, it set off a craze for breaking dance, and subsequent films such as "Breaking" and "Beat Street" had a profound impact on the dance.
During this period, prominent hip-hop groups such as the Zulu Royals, Stable Rock Bands, Dynamic Rock Nations, and the New York City Fragmenters emerged, enriching the breakdance program with innovative and unique dance techniques that brought the movement to a wider audience.
It is worth mentioning that with the success of the world's first international event, BOTY, in Germany in 1990, breaking has shown a rapid development momentum. After that, global breakdancing competitions such as Red Bull BC One, Freestyle Session, Battle in Shanghai and others were born. These competitions provide a platform for break lovers to showcase their talents, innovate and promote break culture, and promote the improvement of dancers' skills and fair competition in the competition.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, breaking has become a cultural carrier with both sports and artistic charm due to its sportsmanship and the admiration of young people around the world. In particular, in 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to include breaking as an official programme at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. Since then, breakdancing has stepped onto the stage of global sports competition.
