3.  Break dancing started in the early 1970’s. In the Bronx New York.  African Americas gang members substitute violence with dance, and would participate in “dance battles”.  The break dancing moves originated and developed from a James Brown move; “The Good Foot”.

5.  Nowadays there is more of a variety when it comes to break dance moves.  Such as Windmills, Broncos, L Kicks, Gainers, etc.

9.  I don't know how break dance, but I do know why people do it. Dancers B. Dance to let out emotion and creativity.  A lot of people don’t have the strength to move like b boys do.  I have high praise for the people who push themselves to be able to do these tricks.
