The 'Good Foot' was mainly dancing around that involved drops or spins on the floor. When on stage James Brown would dance around with such energy and almost acrobatic moves, many people began mimicking his moves, so they called it the ' Good Foot'. B-boying started with the James Brown's 1969 ' Get on the Good Foot'. So in turn girls and guys who danced to these 'breaks' were called 'Break Boy and Break Girl' or 'B-Boy B-Girl' in short. Meaning, he would only play parts of the songs where it was beat only, no lyrics. In the early 70's Dj Kool Herc would play the 'breaks' of songs.
The words 'Break Boy and Break Girl' originated from the Bronx of New York.
