B-Boying or breaking first emerged in the early 1970s and originating among African-American and Puerto Rican youths in New York, and the street style dance quickly spread worldwide. Due to its popularity around the world with countless competitions and worldwide media coverage, Breaking has now become an Olympic sport and will feature in the 2024 Olympic games in Paris. To pay homage to breaking’s roots, the BC One World Final will be held in New York City.
