The science behind breaking originated in the Bronx in the 1970s and remains a core element of hip-hop culture.
Breakers also whip out power moves that involve rapidly flipping and twisting their bodies.
The vestibular system is responsible for tracking the acceleration of the head through space as it moves.
A 2014 study looked at the density of white matter tracts in the brains of people with vestibular impairments.
The study found that these patterns were similar to those of ballet dancers, figure skaters and slackliners.
Study authors suggested that people with severe balance problems show the same patterns as certified balancing experts.
Breakers repeatedly practice sequences of movements, gradually increasing the complexity to build confidence.
