Breakers Break Into Dance
By Jane Runyon |
|
1 It all began in the 1970's. Legends of this craze say it all began with a street corner DJ named DJ Kool Herc. He would take breakdown rhythm elements of several songs, string them together, and provide a base for street dancers to display their talents. Because of the rhythmic mixes, the dancers became known as breakers. Spectators said that they were b-boying or b-girling. That came to be known as breaking or breakdancing.
