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

yes, breakdancing mime. my extreme clown-phobia made me nervous about this shoot... turns out, chris was a very COOL breakdancing mime. more about the dancing, less about the escaping-from-a-box. good stuff! he's actually a fashion designer/ stylist at my school & needed shots for his stylizing class (like the design work on the jacket he did, etc). it's nice doing collaborative work like this at my school... mmm, interdisciplinary goodness.
1/2 second exposure w/ strobes. yay! just my kinda thing, and fortunately for me, just HIS kinda thing too :)
seriously. This is Serge rocking it here and then later in the day I tried to do a VERY lame version of this and fell over on my head, scrapping skin off.
Thanks to Gee and Sophie for setting this up and our b-boys Serge and Jonas for poppin' it all day long.
Strobist-ism: small monobloc strobe through 2x3' softbox to camera left, slightly high. 540ez into 28" softbox to camera right. 540ez bare to camera right and behind b-boy pointed back at him.
I love this woman's stuff. Her name is megan whitmarsh and these are all done with embroidery thread. SO COOL! The top features break dancers with big foot. (of course) The bottom one is Ace Freehly and Darth Vader jammin'. They're really small...like, 4"x4".
