The earliest known recorded footage of break dancing from the late 1930's. The music i added to the dancing is: Koke by Tribe.
Buy original Mills brothers music here: ebay.to/2kljBdp
(2018 update. I did NOT use any kind of advance editing software such as Abode after effects/Photoshop etc i simply overlaid the track by Tribe to the original mills brother video using windows media maker. A synchronicity in the universe i happened to find. No special editing needed!)
P.S. Much love for all the wonderful comments and feedback!

Yes!! Breakdancing WAS NOT Co Created by Latinos or anyone else! We just create something new when it loses its popularity and other races pick it up and add too it. Black people been doing those dances since the beginning of time. What you see today is just an off spend of our culture

Yep, most early break dance moves were just inherited from jazz dance (called flash dance by some) moves.. acrobatic dance has been around for ages and several cultures do it, hell, some of break dance foundational moves can find their roots in Russian dance... since several foreign troops would tour in the states, dancers would grab moves from these troops and incorporate them into their repertoire - much like all you biting kids probably do with youtube *winK*
