Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying, is an athletic style of street dance. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. Breakdancing is typically set to hip-hop, funk, and breakbeat music, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo and beat patterns.
The dance style originated primarily among Puerto Rican and African American youths many of them former members of street gangs (many of them former members of the Black Spades, the Young Spades, or the Baby Spades) during the mid-1970s in the Bronx.[1] The dance spread worldwide due to popularity in the media, especially in regions such as Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United Kingdom.
A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance in popular culture and in the mainstream entertainment industry, "b-boying" and "breaking" are the original terms and are preferred by the majority of the pioneers and most notable practitioners

Went to a dusty dancehall in West Midtown Atlanta for a regional breakdancing competition. The dust was actually luminated in the window light and created a grainy gritty feel.
This was all over the news in the week due to the fact it's opposite the infamous Banksy 'Mild, Mild West' mural in Bristol's Stokes Croft.
Also the theme was widely reported due to the fact it's Jesus breakdancing which was supposedly inspired when a breakdancing crew danced for the previous (I think) Pope.
