This chapter explores the negotiation of gender within the physical culture of breaking (which is better known as “breakdancing”). Specifically, using Barker-Ruchti et al.’s (2016) conceptualization of crossing, shifting and transforming gender in physical cultures, I investigate how male breakers challenge and reinforce dominant gender practices and expectations within the field of Norwegian breaking.
