Introduction

When I was younger, in my Junior High years, I started dancing and the first dance I came into contact with was C-Walking. C-Walking is a dance involving your feet. C-Walking is very creative and I loved it. I later became fascinated in b-boying or breaking when I saw it the first time. In case for people who don't know what b-boying or breaking is, it is commonly refer as breakdancing. When I first saw b-boying it was so powerful and beautiful that it attracted me to it. It was unbelievable when I saw these people performing and executing crazy and dangerous stunts like it was nothing, they had no fear. I saw their passion for this dance and it really came to me. I knew it was calling me, so I started breaking too. In my high school years I practiced b-boying a lot, not just by myself but with friends. Since I came from a small town and had only one high school, not many people know of breakdance or has seen many breakdancings. Me and my friends were in the Multicultural clubs at our high school and we did performance for the school. We also perform for other schools including schools in the small town near us. The problem is, many people don't know what breakdancing is and they don't think it is a dance. So for the next four months I will be talking about b-boying. What is the history of breakdance, where it originated from. I will put some clips of people b-boying, performing unbelievable stunts. For anyone who wants to see more b-boying you can find them on Youtube, it has so many videos of people b-boying or b-girling. I will also be talking about the moves, power moves and footwork. I will be explaining about the battle of the year, a breakdance competition held in Germany once a year. I will also be talking about some of the teams and how the battle's work.
