Breakdancing: Gymnastic of the Streets!
Breakdancing kept a lot of violence off the streets. Instead of fighting, youth battled with the discipline of breakdancing. Battling was a contest of skill, either the audience or a judge would choose the winner of two teams breaking against each other. It was a showcase of skill, the two competitors or teams took turns in doing so. It seemed as though people could pull off impossible stunts in an artistic manner.
After the 70's breakdancing only became bigger. In 1974 breakdancing made it's way onto the small screen, music videos to be exact. Michael Jacksons new video featured breakdancers doing the "robot dance".
The breakdancing craze seemed to die down in the mid 70's as it was being accepted as an ordinary dance style. From then on breakdancing wasnt very popular.
Only recently has the craze come back with major breakdancing contests created during the 2000's. The most famous are BOTY Battle of the Year and Red Bull BC 1. Breakdancing these days are most popular in the US, Europe and South Korea.
The most famous breakdancers are Hong 10 (South Korea), Li Lou (France) and Ronnie (USA). These three were all made famous by Red Bull BC 1.
Breakdancing moves and techniques are all created by breakdancers and new moves are created every day. There is no limit to breakdancing. You just need to impress.
It is not a waste of time to breakdance. It will inprove your fitness, core muscles and creativity. It is very enjoyable, especially if you do it with friends. To start breakdancing you can either be self taught or seek a breakdancing centre. For your nearest breakdancing centre, google "breakdancing centre".
