This should have been moved to "breaking (dance)'", not "b-boying". Moronic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.214.70 (talk) 01:40, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

B-boying is the original name of the style; it was called "breaking" or "breakdancing" by mainstream media.

Not what the article says. "Breakdancing" is the invented term; breaking is the "b" in "b-boying". 70.172.214.70 (talk) 05:00, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
