Power moves coined phrased after "Powerful Pexster" (Tony Lopez) from New York City Breakers [1] are dance moves which are loosely defined as strength moves relying on speed, momentum, control and acrobatic elements for performance. They are prominent in B-boying, often the centerpieces of routines featuring the other elements (toprock, downrock, and freezes) that make up breaking.[2] Power moves are closer to gymnastics than dancing. B-boys who focus heavily on power moves and execute them as a main part of their routines are often called "power heads".[3]
