Breakdancing can be traced as far as the 1970s. It became an influential form of dancing through the mediums of local parties across the Southern Bronx of New York with a growing trend of DJs. When using two copies of the same record, it created the instrumental method properly known as ‘’breaks’’. These ‘’breaks’’ showcased the skill set of top rock, down rock and passion for the art form in the black community. DJs found this as a way to gain the appeal of those interested in hip-hop and its culture.
