What is?

I am a dj since two years back and one thing confuses me. What is a breakdown? Sorry i tried to search for a similar question but i didn't find any.

The energy that is built up in a song reaches a climax, and then all the energy stops, flows away. There's your breakdown

A breakdown is when the beat stops. In trance a breakdown handles before a build and then climax.

The part where all people put their hands in the air = Breakdown

I always thought that the part you guys are talking about was the "break", and the breakdown, was the part after the buildup, then everything hits(synths, leads, pads, drums, highhats etc..)
