Ritmos incr veis, footwork sofisticado, dan arinos talentosos, batalhas de tirar o f lego tudo isso comp e o Breaking, uma forma de dan a que combina movimentos complexos com dan a estilizada
Nascido nas comunidades negra e latina do Bronx, o Breaking se originou nos anos 70, no in cio do movimento Hip Hop. O nome refere-se aos breakbeats que definiram o som inicial do Hip Hop, que deu aos dan arinos a chance de mostrar seus movimentos. Ao longo dos anos 70 e 80, equipes de dan a se formaram e competiram entre si, introduzindo novas t cnicas como o headspin, freeze e o top rock.
M sica uma parte cr tica do Breaking, e os DJs que comandam as mesas geralmente misturam elementos de hip hop, jazz, disco, electro e muito mais para criar uma faixa atraente para os dan arinos, conhecidos como b-boys e b-girls.
No in cio dos anos 80, o Breaking ganhou for a no Brasil, proporcionando uma nova maneira para a juventude do pa s se conectar e interagir. E at hoje nas ruas de S o Paulo acontecem batalhas de dan a, com b-boys e b-girls disputando quem tem os melhores movimentos.
Em 2024, o Breaking far sua estreia ol mpica em Paris e o Brasil se prepara para os jogos.
