Etymology
Breakdancing comes from two simple parts: break ('a short drum part in a song where the beat stands out') and dancing, because dancers would show their best acrobatic moves during those musical breaks in early hip-hop. So breakdancing is the energetic street dance of spins, flips and strong footwork that grew from those drum breaks.
