Breakdancing, also called b-boying or breaking, is a street dance developed by African American and Latino youth in New York City that consists of four elements: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. Practitioners of this style, called b-boys, b-girls, or breakers, often compete against each other or in crews in breakdancing battles and use hip-hop music remixed to extend the musical breaks for their dances. While sometimes called "breakdance," the original terms preferred by pioneers of the dance form are "b-boying" and "breaking."

(taniec połamaniec)
B-boying, often called "breakdancing", is a popular style of street dance that was created
and developed as part of hip-hop culture among African American and Latino youth
in New York City. The dance consists of four primary elements: toprock, downrock,
power moves, and freezes. It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres of music
that are often remixed to prolong the musical breaks.
The musical selection for b-boying is not restricted to hip-hop music as long as
the tempo and beat pattern conditions are met. A practitioner of this dance is called
a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. These dancers often participate in battles, formal or informal
dance competitions between two individuals or two crews.
Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used, "b-boying" and "breaking"
are the original terms used to refer to the dance. These terms are preferred by the majority
of the art form’s pioneers and most notable practitioners
