B-boying is a form of Afro-diasporic competitive dance that
developed in the Bronx, NY in the early 1970s. Widely - though
incorrectly - known as "breakdancing," it is often dismissed as a
form of urban acrobatics set to music. In reality, however,
b-boying is a deeply traditional and profoundly expressive art form
that has been passed down from teacher to student for almost four
decades. Foundation: B-boys, B-girls and Hip-Hop Culture in New
York offers the first serious study of b-boying as both unique
dance form and a manifestation of the most fundamental principles
of hip-hop culture. Drawing on anthropological and historical
research, interviews and personal experience as a student of the
dance, Joseph Schloss presents a nuanced picture of b-boying and
its social context. From the dance's distinctive musical repertoire
and traditional educational approaches to its complex stylistic
principles and secret battle strategies, Foundation illuminates a
previously unexamined thread in the complex tapestry that is
contemporary hip-hop.
