I employ a methodological approach known as grounded theory ethnography, and use qualitative interviews, participant observation, artifact collection, literature review, and movement notation inspired by Laban Movement Analysis and Alien Ness' 5 Elements of Battle Style to explore how dancers in Montreal, Quebec (Canada) feel their embodied dance experience of 'b-boying' differs from commercial representations of 'breakdancing' from the 1980s. This empirical study investigates 'b-boying', the original dance form of hip-hop culture, focusing specifically on how it differs from popular representations of 'breakdancing'.
