Extract

The breakdance data in this article is based on dance anthropological fieldwork I carried out in 1984 among a group of breakdancers in Palmerston North, New Zealand. The understanding of identity is drawn primarily from their experiences, which may differ in degree from those of breakdancers elsewhere in New Zealand.
