1984 SPECIAL REPORT: "BREAKDANCING"

1984 SPECIAL REPORT: "BREAKDANCING" The Breakdancing dance was created by African American youth during the late sixties and early 1970's.[1] The earliest breakdancing groups included the "Zulu Kings" and "Clark Kent".[2] By the mid seventies, the dance began to spread to other communities and gained popularity.[2] At the same time, the dance was losing popularity with African Americans.[2] A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance in popular culture and in the mainstream entertainment industry, "b-boying" and "breaking" are the original terms and are preferred by the majority of the pioneers and most notable practitioners. https://youtu.be/_wdgIfzKc8o #newblackmedia #stoptheblackgenocide #blackot #dropthehop #worldblackhistory #history #literacy #culture #afro #firstnations
