Power moves are moves loosely defined as relying on speed, momentum, and acrobatic elements for performance. They are prominent in
B-boying, often the centerpieces of routines featuring the other elements (
toprock,
downrock, and
freezes) that make up breaking. Also, power moves is near to gymnastics more than dancing. B-boys who focus heavily on power moves and execute them as a main part of their routines are often called "power heads". It was discovered by DJ Kool Herc. The definition of B-boying is basically break dancing and gets into the music.
