S4E3 B-Boying/B-Girling/Breakdancing by Drew Curry

Welcome back, season four, episode three of Hip Hop Hisotyr by Drew Curry. This week we are back with the third of the four pillars of this beautiful art form. This week we are talking about B-Boying or B-Girling a.k.a. Breaking or Break Dancing. There are many terms to speak about the art of breaking, but be careful what you call it around those practitioners who started the art. It all started with Kool Herc playing the breaks for the breakers to dance to. Playing the breaks allowed for a bigger platform with the same tempo for the breakers to dance for even longer without having to catch a new beat or rhythm. While the dances may have originated before breaking was ever thought of, those dances and those breaks became a beautiful marriage and sprouted what would become the most well known and liked genre in the history of the world. Those humble beginnings would spark something that has undoubtedly spread across the world. So thank you for the breaks and the breakers who started this whole thing in motion. Thank you.
