Breaking - the new beat of the streets Breakdancing, a dance which sprang from the ghetto areas of New York City is a combination of gymnastics and martial arts. Words such as “crew”, “rumble”, “terri- tory”, and “the best” are common with breakdancing crews. These words sound like words of a vicious street gang battle, but for breakers living in certain areas of New York and around the world these words are well known and respected. Breakdancing has swept the United States along with Germany, Japan, England, and France by storm. This dance is not shared by the general eat Of The Streets public because of the difficult and quite complicated steps and movements. Breakdancing, which amazes its audi- ences, can be very dangerou and is not recommended for people used to the Fox Trot. Not only is Breakdancing performed in NEW YORK but it is also pe rformed here at Clover Hill High School.
