Four element's !!

First - Toprock (upright dancing and shuffles)
Second - Downrock (dancing performed on the floor)
Third - Freeze (poses, certain beats and end their routines)
Fourth -Power (acrobatic moves)

These Four Elements when put together with magical (I call it magical cause i cant do it) coordination form a very amusing but popular form of dance called B-BOY !

The term originates with the first hip hop DJ, DJ Kool Herc, who, noticing the reaction of some dancers to his playing the part of the record with a drum break, named them break-boys or B-boys. It quickly came to include any follower of hip hop, identifiable by clothing habits, listening tastes or lifestyle, but has returned in latter years to the more specific usage in connection with dance


B-Boy over time became so popular that it was incorporated with different genre's of music. Novels were based on this style of dancing, even Movies were made with the theme of B-Boy!

Over time the most important factor that came in to play was a CREW! Every b-boy dancer belonged to a crew where they choose to dance together for whatever purpose, either simultaneously or separately

Once a crew was formed they went to the next phase which was :) (DRUM ROLLS)

BATTLES ! ! !

This type of battle is how b-boying was originally and it is often more confrontational and more personal. The battle goes on until it ends for one of many possible reasons, such as one dancer admitting defeat only because his moves weren't good enough.

There are various styles of B-Boying

break dance
Abstract
Trick Style
Flavor
Commando(Routine)

All of this brings us to one topic.. The RED BULL BC 1
