Yeah when i saw the name of the DVD i was like why the hell. But when u put it that way it is understandable. People who wanna learn to bboy and enter our world will have no idea of what it is. But then again if they named it Bboy Step by Step then i think people would have been like "hmm what is bboy maybe i should check it out" i don't know it could have worked out but then again it'd be sorta sexist unless the title was Bboy/Bgirl Step by Step

ANSWER: It wasn't an easy decision. The bottom line is that we want to get this DVD out on Amazon.com and some other retailers who don't know what Bboy means. We explain on the DVD that the correct term is Bboying.

I know that a lot of people feel strongly about not using the word breakdance, but out amongst the general public a lot of people still don't know the word bboy.

I don't really think the name matters. That's my paradigm though. The point is that you're dancing and that's what matters. The name is just a name. It wouldn't have mattered if it was called breakdancing from the start.

yeah if you want bboyin to go more mainstream than it is then send out a dvd on "breakdance" to every online store

I dont know anyone who, when they first started, knew it was called 'bboying'. Breakdance is the term coined by the media, so for anyone who wants to learn, its easier to spot.

well ask yourself this:
are you being taught by someone, or something?

Aesop · 05-28-2009, 12:19 AM

Well, doesn't the 'b' in bboy mean 'break' anyways?

Besides, calling it bboying kind of leaves out bgirls.

While I'm surrounded by breakers, I'd use the term bboying, but if I'm around anybody who doesn't really know, I'd just call it breakdancing. Besides, breakdance is a noun and a verb, and bboy is really just a noun.

i think that they couldve used the word breakdance in the dvd so that ppl would know it but at least it should explain in the case that the real name is bboyin or breaking so that they would have an idea of what it is.

if the focus is just on the steps, then it's w/e you call it, "breakdance" is ok.
