This course conclusion work sought to develop, based on literature and through the analysis of
my own artistic trajectory, a theoretical collection on the role of women in hip-hop culture from
a historical, social and kinesiological perspective. This is a bibliographic, exploratory and
descriptive research, adopting a qualitative approach. Participant observation, personal notes
and photographs were also used. The data obtained were mediated through theoretical
approaches for possible analysis and understanding of the female body in hip-hop culture.
Breaking, which is part of a culture that was created in a controversial context and with a lack
of public policies, over time grows increasingly occupying various spaces, empowering artists
and researchers of the same. I also bring a reflection of how this body produces art, and how it
becomes a philosophy of life for many of those who are active in this dance, reporting how I
got to know the Hip-Hop culture and how the dance that constitutes it became my profession
and main investigation. for studies. Finally, I bring the fundamentals of breaking dance in which
I investigated in the field, and based on articles and books referring to the study of kinesiology
and physiology. It is concluded that the female body in Hip-Hop culture, specifically in the
breaking element, since the origin of this culture is permeated with impasses and impediments,
whether of a social nature, through the erasure of female participation in the emergence of Hip-
Hop; be of a physiological nature, through the anatomical differences of the body.
