00:00Breaking, a sport that combines dance and athletic movement requiring balance, strength and flexibility.
00:15Breaking began in New York as one of the pillars of the hip-hop culture and will be making its Olympic debut at Paris 2024.
00:23It will be held at the Place de la Canco, the largest public square in the city.
00:30Breaking is a one-on-one battle where athletes are judged on their dance moves.
00:35There are two events, one for women called B-Girls and another for men, known as B-Boys.
00:47Breaking involves many different moves, such as top and down rocks.
00:57Top rock is when the athlete is dancing while standing.
01:00It is usually how they start their routine before going down to the floor.
01:04Down rock refers to moves performed on the floor, with hands supporting the athlete as much as the feet.
01:11Athletes often perform a mix of leg sweeps, swings and kicks, as well as 360-degree spins.
01:22Numerous fast spins in succession are known as a power move.
01:26These are intricate, gravity-defying spinning sequences where the athlete's feet rarely touch the ground.
01:36The opposite of a power move is a freeze, where dancers stop completely during a routine,
01:41usually in a position that demonstrates their strength and balance required for breaking.
01:50This is breaking.
