When did break dancing first start?

Break dancing did begin in the late 70’s. It was a huge phenomenon in the US and the UK, among other places, by the mid 80’s. Break dancing began as street dancing. People who lived in the ghettos used this form of dancing as a form of self expression. Many of the body movements associated with rap originated with break dancing. Break dancing was a lot tougher than it looks. I knew people in the 80’s who practiced hours a day in order to be good at it. As with many dance fads, it also carried with it a dress code — “parachute” pants, legs tied with bandanas, mesh shirts and long, wild hair.
