Breakdancing is a little more acrobatic:

What ilanikhan said; I'll add that like many kinds of dance, it uses dancers' ability to control their bodies' parts independently and together as they choose. Bellydancing, for example, does some of this too. Breaking (the term used within the art, rather than "breakdancing") is certainly related, but is not the same thing.

This also got me looking into the connection between breaking and capoeira... interesting connections.

Yeah, I noticed that the isolation was quite impressive. And I, too, thought of the isolation in Bellydancing.

There tends to be overlap and evolution in dance -- this doesn't look, to my eye, to be Breaking -- but a style that quite possibly grew/eveolved out of that.
