“If you breakdance, you boughtdance”

“If you break it, you bought it” is sometimes called the Pottery Barn rule. This usually doesn’t apply to breakdancing, but there are jokes.

Wikipedia: Breakdancing
Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance originating from the African American and Puerto Rican communities in the United States. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes.
