The Dance That Scratched the Asphalt and Changed Culture
Before the stage came the floor.
Before the spotlights came the concrete blocks.
Breakdancing — or b-boying — is not just dancing.
It's a challenge, it's art, it's survival in the form of movement.
📍 Bronx, 1970s: The Body as Protest
Breakdancing was born on the streets of New York , influenced by funk, capoeira and parties hosted by names like DJ Kool Herc .
It was a new way of speaking—without words.
Rhythm in the body. Revolt in movement.
💥 The Four Elements of Style
-
Toprock : Start standing up. It's an entrance with presence.
-
Downrock : On the ground, with technique and flow.
-
Power Moves : Gravity-defying stunts.
-
Freezes : The body freezes — but the message remains.
Every movement is a symbol. Every brake, a statement.
🌍 From Underground to the World
Today, breakdancing is featured in global events like Red Bull BC One , was included in the Olympic Games and continues to be studied, admired and practiced.
But he never lost his soul:
physical resistance with cultural roots .
Break is in Astredik's Sewing
At Astredik, we don't make “hip-hop inspired” clothing.
We make clothes for those who live on the street, for those who dance hard, for those who freeze in the freezer and explode to the beat.
Oversized hoodies, baggy pants, gross beanies.
Aesthetics for those who already have the attitude.
