Abstract
This study attempts to understand how Taiwanese professional b-boys (re)produce body technique and knowledge, practice breaking in local context, and imagine breaking and the global breaking community through internet media and transnational flows in dance studios. This study begins from the dancer's body and considers the dancing body to be a medium of globalization. First, based on observing and experiencing the difficult skill and the harsh body training required for dancers, it explores the body technique and body culture of breaking. It then focuses on b-boy's physical captial and how it could transform into other capital but also block them from moving to different fields. Furthermore, Taiwanese b-boys construct a unique world view of breaking throught the Internet and interaction with foreign dancers. This view also encourages them to re-imagine the relationship between "us" and "them". In conclusion, this study tries to answer what the "Taiwan feature" of breaking is to illustrate how breaking entwine with local context.
