When many people see Breaking for the first time, they can't help asking: Where on earth did these guys learn such a strange dance? Hehe: Breaking means that people often see a group of people dancing awkwardly at parties ... They usually do some floor-related movements, commonly known as floor movements such as up rock (fighting dance), footwork (kicking), rotation movement (strength movement) (big floor), freezing and so on. We usually call those break dancers B-BOY.
Broken history
1969, james brown successfully made his signature action "Get on the Good Foot" when the Hustle was still very popular. If you have never seen james brown's performance in a live concert or on TV, then you should know that he did it. When he performs his unique skills, what he does is absolutely what you expect him to perform. Good feet at that time became the latest dance style at that time, and the tradition of professional dancing was established at that time. At that time, dancers will gather in Harlem and perform fighting dances in Harlem World on 1 16 Street. At that time, a lot of attention was paid to details, challenges and competition. In the history of breaking, breaking is considered to be the most important and very suitable for breaking. Not only good feet are suitable for competitive sports, but even young people who take part in dancing are like athletes. Good feet will soon be called B-Boy, and they will soon be broken. At that time, there was no head turning, windmill turning and back turning. Now it is called old-fashioned beer. Old-fashioned breaks are only floor sports or floor rock. In other words, the old-fashioned break at that time was more complicated than the current break. Nowadays, there may be a head turn and a back turn, but the so-called head turn is to turn down with the head, and the back turn is to turn down with the back, but the floor rock movement involves quite complicated leg movements and is very fast. It didn't last long before there was a lot of dancing. At that time, old-fashioned breaking was quite popular among many teenagers and gangsters, and breaking began in the street. Usually, the best dancers in rival groups show their wisdom when dancing, not fighting. They are all dancing outside the venue. If someone accidentally intrudes into other people's territory, they will also use the method of full dance to prove that one party is better than the other in the group. Sometimes, they also reach an agreement that the loser will never go near the winner. Sometimes they just dance to win the respect of their opponents who want to win. Unfortunately, these break dances don't always stop fighting. In fact, full-time dancing often leads to fights, which makes these dancers physically injured, but they can't get the wisdom of dancing. Nobody likes to fail. There is also break dancing now, but the scope is wider. They are not fighting, but these broken groups get together to practice their performances. Then set up a formal group. These groups not only practiced and performed, but also began to have their own unique dance steps. In these groups, some people devote themselves to their dance, which may be because they have no other hobbies at that time, so they have to practice all day, develop more complicated movements, improve their forms and increase their speed. Then Afrika Bambaataa appeared. Afrika Bambaataa is a legendary and famous DJ. The successful growth of the King of Destruction owes much to this man. He is a record producer and a member of the soul sound wave force. Soul Sonic Force's "Looking for the Perfect Beat" was also selected as the fourth place in the jazz and popular comment poll of 1983, and Afrika Bambaataa was also the Zulu leader in the Bronx. 1969, Afrika Bambaataa found that breaking is not just dancing. He found that breaking seemed to accomplish something. He saw the potential of breakthrough and encouraged the dancers to keep it up. After hard work, he believes that as long as they persist, something good will happen. Then Bambaataa formed the first breaking group, King Zulu. King Zulu won many dances, participated in many performances and performed in many clubs in new york. At the same time, they didn't win many supporters for Zulu. The value of old-fashioned breaking was popular around 1977 until Freak appeared, and he released a quite popular album called "Freak Out", which was produced by Shieks. Then around the beginning of 1979 and 1980, a new break group was born. This team is very stable. Although Rock Steady Crew has a special talent, many people still think they are old-fashioned POPs. But Bambataa encouraged them. He told them that as long as they continued, they would eventually find a faithful wife. He helped them to move on. Soon, they began to perform in some rock clubs in new york, such as Mudd Club, Leeds and so on. When Rock Steady began to perform for Marcon McLaren and bow Wow WOW in Ritz, people began to pay attention to them, and Breaking became popular again, but the new type of Breaking was different from the old one. Rock Steady added a lot of stunts, and now it's not just floor rock, but also windmill, hand turn and head turn.
Rest now
One emphasizes the movement of forces and their combination, and the other emphasizes footwork and freezing. Rock Steady Crew emphasizes footwork to show the dancer's personal style. Even though power moves has a strong feeling and is quite energetic, it is difficult to incorporate personal style into these movements. When rotating, the strength movement really can't be integrated into the beat. It's a bit like gymnastics, not like dancing. Based on these factors, the rock band put forward that the emphasis on footwork style tends to break 1990. Break dancing is the most popular form of street dance. Although new school dances, such as hip hop and house, have spread to some big cities in the United States and Japan, they have spread all over the world.
