What is BREAKDANCING? - The basics | YouDance.com?

Breakdancing is when people move their bodies in fun and cool ways to music, like a dance party on the floor.

Bold words are used for important parts, just like how you might highlight your favorite toy in a drawing.

Imagine you're playing with your toys, you jump, twist, and spin around. That’s what breakdancers do, but to music! They use their whole body, arms, legs, back, to make amazing moves. Some people stand up and move like they’re doing a super fast dance, while others lie down and roll or flip over.

Breakdancing usually happens with a special kind of music called hip-hop. It's the same kind of beat you might hear when your favorite song starts playing on your phone, it makes you want to move!

Sometimes, breakdancers compete against each other in shows, trying to be the most creative and energetic dancer. Just like when you and your friends have a race or see who can do the best cartwheel!
