Beginning with DJ Kool Herc, Bronx-based DJs would take the rhythmic
breakdown sections (also known as the "breaks") of dance records and
prolong them by looping them successively. The breakbeat provided a
rhythmic base that allowed dancers to display their improvisational
skills during the duration of the break. This led to the first battles
– turn-based dance competitions between two individuals or dance crews
judged with respect to creativity, skill, and musicality. These battles
occurred in cyphers – circles of people gathered around the
breakers. Though at its inception the earliest b-boys were "close to 90
percent African-American", dance crews such as "SalSoul" and "Rockwell
Association" were populated almost entirely by Latino Americans.
