When B-boying, or breakdancing, first came out it was a huge hit. Accoring to dictionary.com
b-boying is "a style of acrobatic dancing that combines intricate footwork with spinning and tumbling, usually to funk or hip-hop music." People would compete and show off their moves to each other at school, during their lunch breaks, and anytime that they had an opportunity. JoJo on page112 said, " I ate b-boys for lunch! I'd come out and battle somebody and then go back to school... We bet $2 a man on the contest, and we burned them." Once b-boying became popular the Puerto Ricans began to pick up the style of dancing. Once this happend its popularity started to deminish. The original dancers wanted to "keep their gear clean." They wanted to keep the dancing fresh, but were hesitant to others picking up their dance moves.
