Chip E. and the Origins of Breakdancing

     Break dancing is a type of street dancing that can date back to the origins in New York City from the 1970s. Since it's origins, it has spread worldwide  to many different countries and has become quite the talent if you are able to do it because me for sure could never be able to lift myself up and spin without my legs ever hit the floor! The music is associated with hip hop and is still done today as you look at any type of hip hop music video and look at the choreographed music, it's all hip hop. Chip E. was a DJ and music producer that supported break dancing and created tracks that would influence the dance. He would spin hip hop records that would get people to dance and adapt to the changes in the songs. Also the craziest thing about break dancing is that it can literally be done anywhere! Including those moving subways.
