break it

Cause its destruction

Break it is a command to start dancing, especially in hip-hop and breakdancing contexts, where it signals a dancer to begin their solo or showcase their moves: The DJ dropped the beat and shouted "break it!".

More broadly, it means to get going or start something with energy: All right, let's break it.
