A B-Boy takes part in breakdancing which is also known as b-boying. B-girl is the female terminology, however there is a non gender specific term - breaker. This style of dancing originated in the South Bronx in the 1970s and it was a part of the growing hip hop culture there.
Breaking or b-boying are the oringinal terms, where using the word breakdancing was another case of the media misrepresenting the culture.
