HOBBY

Hi classmate

I want to let you know about my favourite hobby, Breaking

Breaking is a urban dance, one of the five elemental parts of the hip hop culture. It was born in the African-American communities of New York neighborhoods like Bronx and Brooklyn in the 70s. It is made-up by 4 basics elements, Footworks, Toprocks, power moves and freeze.

Toprocks is the standing dance, where you simply follow the rhythm of the music and move, what makes it the least disciplined and the most open part;

Footwork: They are the dance steps that are made on the floor with the hands and feet

Power moves are often the most difficult and spectacular movements of the bboying that require th greatest physical capacity  

Freeze are the movements in which the Bboy "freezes" for a moment to the rhythm of the music. They are also the most difficult, they require above all balance and range of motion.

There are several places where I practice because for the breaking you only need a floor, music and motivation. I usually practiced in the Plaza de Maipu, Quinta Normal Metro station, FAU, Literary coffe in the Bustamante park.
