That type of dancing is amazing, and rather entertaining to watch.

fortunately and it’s much better that way!!! that one day there was this in the streets...without school, young dancers involuntarily...just through this fury of living in them were going to create something else in the world of dance, the proof! look today classical dance is still not introduced in the Olympic Games while break-dancing is making its grand debut in 2024! I want to say ; Bravo and thank you to all of you...who by twisting in all directions, you gave birth to this form of movement.

Dancers are saying "breaking", "bboys", "breakers". Media says "breakdancing", "breakdancers".
In the 80's media name "breakdance" become an umbrela term for different styles of dancing: breaking, popping, locking, electric boogie, robot, king tut.
And only breaking has become an olympic discipline. Unfortunly nowadays breakdance means only breaking without locking, popping and other technics.
Stop confusing all people!
