Young dancers can learn breakdance from experienced instructors who will teach them the basics of the genre. The class focuses on floor moves, where kids practise tricks such as handstands and headstands in time with the beat.
Breakdance grew out of street dance. Its roots go back to Uprock in the South Bronx, New York City, in the late 1960s, when poor street kids often danced to earn money. Breakdancing, or breaking, is part of the hip-hop genre.
