ABOUT BREAKING

A Brief History of Breaking

Breaking is said to have started in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s as a way of settling disputes instead of fighting. With flamboyant moves including spinning on one’s head or back, it has continued to develop to this day, far surpassing other street dance genres as a culture with roots in battling.
It received its name from the “breaks” in the songs that early DJs would play back to back knowing how hyped the dancers would get. Those dancers were then referred to as B-boys and B-girls. In recent years, not only has “street dance” become a required subject in Japanese schooling, but Breaking was even officially selected as a new category in the Youth Olympics held in Buenos Aires last year, marking the start of a new page in history.
Competitions often have 1 on 1, and/or crew battles, and rules and methods can also change depending on the event. Judging is mostly done in a subjective manner but there are increasingly more competitions that have introduced a scoring system by which to judge the dancers.

One of my final jobs of 2020 was traveling around Japan with BBOY TAISUKE and documenting a series of breakdance workshops he was doing for young breakdancers. 

I have covered BBOY TAISUKE’s workshops many times, and they are always a fountain of knowledge in both dance and music cultures so I always enjoy the experience immensely. However, during this trip I think my favorite moment was a quick little session we had at the seaside during a night of fishing and camping in Chiba prefecture.

As you probably don’t  know, BBOY TAISUKE is not only one of the top breakdancers in the world, but also a well known fisherman, and he enjoys camping as well. So one of the nights during our trip we spent camping and fishing on the coast of Chiba Prefecture. 

When we arrived at the campsite, one of the first things I did was wander around and see if I could find a couple cool spots for some quick photo sessions during our stay. As it was a nice day with interesting clouds, I really wanted to get something at sunset as well. I found a cool little spot down by the water,



Red Bull BC One Allstar Bios

One of the B-Boys to look out for this year is Taisuke from Japan, who has already made his mark on the B-Boy scene with his spins and crickets. He made it to the quarter finals in South Africa, where he lost to Ronnie and he came in second in Paris in 2008. Taisuke’s dance style is based on an impressive array of foundation moves, a variety of good toprocks and unique footwork combined with power moves. Taisuke is one of the B-Boys portrayed in the movie Turn It Loose and is representing Red Bull in the Red Bull BC One Allstars!

Taisuke is the cousin of B-Boy Toshiki, another great Japanese B-Boy who also competed in the Japanese qualifier. Toshiki made it to the quarter finals, where he lost to B-Boy Dragon, who then was beaten by Taisuke in the final.

Taisuke and Toshiki have a lot in common. Not only were they born on the same day, but they also grew up together in the same town and most importantly, both got into breaking through their sisters who were B-Girls and members of the same crew. Taisuke and Toshiki started breaking when
