As I watch these dancers, I see the intersection between Art and Science. There is so much Physics going on in here that it is mind blowing.* You can click on the pictures below for greater detail.
Some physics and mathematical concepts in these dance steps include:
1] center of mass
2] gravity
3] levers and simple machines
4] rotational dynamics
5] kinetic vs. potential energy
6] Resolution of force vectors
7] friction
Moreover, these performers moves would be greatly helpful for animators, engineers and robot designers. The Human body is so complex, and what these guys are doing would take up lots of computer space to study and replicate.

The two drawings of Break Dance moves posted above were created a by French artist, Florian Nicolle for Volnorez dance school. Human movement is not easy explain and understand. Using math, to explain the physics behind it however, it can be done.
This one is for Mr. C
