Discover the meaning and importance of the cypher in breaking Cyphers have been around ever since breaking …. Why is it important to use the correct terms? When breaking first started it was pretty much all that the kids in the ghetto had.
They didn't just do it, they lived it. It was their lifestyle and this is the reason why the use of the correct original terms is important, as it refers to someone who lives the lifestyle of a B-Boy or B-Girl.
To be a B-Boy or B-Girl was, and still is, to dress a certain way, to listen to the music of hip-hop culture, to walk and talk a certain way, and also to practise or at least have an interest in the other three elements of hip-hop: graffiti, MCing and DJing. Why not breakdancer or breakdancing? When breaking became big in the media, and B-Boys and B-Girls got onto TV, they saw these kids dancing, heard the term 'breaking' and so said that they were breakdancing, unaware that the correct term was B-Boying, B-Girling or breaking.
With the media and television the ones to put the dance form out to the world, they introduced it as being called breakdancing and so the general public — and those who saw the dance and began to practice themselves — thought that those were the correct names. Then, when the dance became massively popular all over the world, people started travelling to the Bronx to meet the creators and pioneers, and to learn the history from them.
Books and documentaries on hip-hop culture and breaking were also released, containing interviews with the originators of the dance, and this core group started to travel to jams, competitions and events around the world, where they judged battles, gave workshops and spoke. All of this gave the opportunity to finally educate the new worldwide scene on the true history of the dance, which included correcting everyone on the fact that breakdancing and breakdancer were terms created by the media, and that B-Boy, B-Girl and breaking were the original and correct names.
There was also a period when a breakdancer was seen as someone who only practiced the dance of breaking, but had no knowledge or interest in the actual history of breaking itself and wasn't a part of actual hip-hop culture. It involves a lot of locks or a freeze, very similar to a "hit". You also "lock" your elbow, to make it look like the crazy chicken dance , points to point at people cheering for you , and acrobatics crazy stunts.
He also said that he fell down and played it off and people thought it was part of the dance. You can also do funny poses. Locking in general is a very entertaining dance to watch. The original cambellockers the first crew Don Cambellock formed to dance around the country , wore crazy customs and did a lot of funny trademark stuff like shaking hands and jumping over each other. Of course, with time, dancing changes, becomes added onto, and there are many different styles of locking.
Bboys people who bboy sneer at ordinary people calling their dance breakdancing which they deem to be the commercialized bastardation of the word. But some great bboys still call it breaking or breakdancing or any number of names depending on the region.
Bboying itself is a dance spawned by the hip-hop era. It involves the top-rock or up-rock which is the dance you do to clear space around you , and once you are on the ground using the 6-step , a variety of ground movement, and acrobatic power moves. BBoying can be defined by stylistics and power moves and sometimes both.
Stylistics is being on beat, whether something is a particularly clever move, how "artistic" something is.
Power moves are what most of the people think of when they hear "break dancing". It involves spinning on your head, windmills, and the other crazy shit we all want to do as kids. There is a great debate about what's more important, but the gist of the argument is that a lot of people has forgotten stylistics and will just learn crowd pleasing power moves. These people say that people don't learn how to dance anymore which is extremely important, but just do head spins and windmills and Other-Cool-Shit-That's-Hard moves.
Some excellent poppers call what they do pop-locking from the day they started popping decades ago. That may be the case and it is agreed that the definitions of any word is variable depending on where you are from.
