Top Rock Studio invites aspiring B-boys and B-girls to train themselves to create their own identity in this one-of-its-kind studio for this dance form.
Breaking – also known as b-boying or b-girling – originated in New York City in the 1970s. It is a dynamic combination of dance moves that B-Boys and B-Girls mix together in a creative rhythmic flow. But, just like all physical disciplines, breaking has a handful of basic elements that make up the dance form, and which all breakers learn to then be able to ‘throw down’ in a cypher or battle. The more highly skilled a breaker is, the better they are at executing each element, as well as combining the elements in a fresh, original, seamless and surprising way that fits and plays with music.
Inspired by percussive drum rhythms from rock funk to Latin beats, the dance style features gravity-defying, energetic moves such as windmills and hand spins.
A very physically demanding form, Breaking involves a high degree of body and mind discipline, intense physical engagement with the space in which it is performed. Top Rock Studio integrates breaking with Yoga to transcend the body and mind to a powerfully strong, expressive and creative entity.
