When break dance was introduced more than 3 decades ago by African Americans in the Bronx, it was immediately adopted by Latinos who immersed themselves in hip-hop culture. Break dancing has its own genre of music and culture. This dance has its own attitude which reflects its origin as a way of settling fights between fighting groups commonly known as gangs. It is also a very interesting dance style that involves not only strength and power but also creativity. For this reason it has attracted all types of people, young or adults including midgets. It is true, midgets can break dance too and their moves are also amazing. Break dancing has basic steps that must be performed well such as toprock which is the introductory part. This is not quite hard yet since the break dancer assumes a standing position to execute the moves so a midget doing break dance can handle that. Videos of midget break dance shows how easily they can create steps with an attitude that makes the viewers take a midget break dance seriously. The second step known as the down-rock is a more advanced step since midgets have to do some movements such as scissors, belly swim or side slide.
