Negotiated studies

This dance style has intrigued me for many years, so when this module was presented i felt this was my opportunity to learn abit more about the field. The proposal was to use break dancing to acknowledge the bones used in the formation of articulation

The proposal

 








The hisotry
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.
