Breakdancing has formed today's dance after absorbing a large number of elements and movements originating from different sports and art forms such as Capoeira (Brazilian war dance), gymnastics, and Chinese martial arts (from Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers films), and is divided into four major elements, namely, TopRock (rock step), Footwork (leg movement), Freeze (aerial framing), and PowerMove (overall movement). The dance is divided into TopRock, Footwork, Freeze, and PowerMove.
Breakdancing is divided into Style and PowerMove.
Style:
The main elements are divided into three parts: Toprock, Footwork, and Freeze, which are combined to form a basic Style routine. Of course, if there is a basic one, there is definitely a deeper one, for example, between Toprock, Footwork and Freeze, you can also add Combo, Move or even PowerMove, etc.
PowerMove is the most popular style.
PowerMove:
Most of these moves require a lot of upper body strength, feel, and flexibility. They have a lot of inertia, often flinging the legs and twisting the torso in rotational movements. The arms, especially the triceps and shoulders, often need to bear the weight of the whole body in special positions when the abs and lowerbackmuscle have to move the legs in a circle. The pectoral muscles and the muscles at the back of the arms also need to be put under a great deal of stress.
The three most widely recognized PowerMove moves are the Swipe (360-degree jump), the Windmill, and the Flare. Other moves that are also challenging as well as impressive include the Halos and Airtracks, and some breakdancers include the 1990s and 2000s in the powermove.
