“Break dancing is the combination of gymnastics and free-style street dancing—the marriage of athletics and cool. The kids who break are old enough to have the power and strength necessary but young enough to take it. From Old Style to 1990 action, breaking sets the body up for moves from ballet smooth to high-stress acrobatics. And with the New York City Breakers, you know that the moves will be on and most definitely in check.” — ©1984 Michael Holman

If you have any ankle, knee, back or other physical problems, you should have a medical checkup before attempting the dances described in these materials. Parental supervision is advised for children who attempt these dances.

Freundlich Books will publish in September 1984 _Breakdance and the New York City Breakers_, which will be the complete guide to Break Dancing and the Hip-Hop culture.

The author Michael Holman is America’s leading choreographer and interpreter of Break Dancing.
