b-girls
Hip-hop dance women
B-girls are female breakdancers—practitioners of the acrobatic street dance style that emerged from hip-hop culture.
The term parallels b-boy for male breakdancers, where the "b" stands for "break," referring to the instrumental breaks in funk and hip-hop tracks where dancers showcase their moves: The b-girls battled in the center of the circle.
