Break dancing involves four main elements: top rock, power moves, footwork, and poses. It is a form of expression through movement that originated as one of the four elements of hip hop culture. Mastering break dancing requires extensive practice over years to learn techniques like windmills, six-step footwork, headstands, and backflips. Both male and female break dancers, called b-boys and b-girls, must develop strength, balance, and style while overcoming fear to impress audiences with their skills.
