Bay Area Hip Hop History: Veteran Dancers Reminisce About Local Styles | KQED Arts 

So very humbled to be in the same mention with true talented legends like Chuck Powell! Even more honored to have shared the stage with him, the Messengers, OG Mike and others recently. Thanks to everyone who has viewed and enjoyed this small piece of our memories for these amazing street dances. The Bay Area is proud of its heritage and contributions. It should be. This dance should be shared throughout. It was MAGIC back then, it's even more miraculous now. Much love to all!!

Oh no no... this needs to be at least 90 minutes! Tell me there's a full length documentary on it's way!

I want to see more! I reallllyyy want to see a full 90 min documentary! Much respect for these dancers!

Great video. Really glad KQED did this series. Bay always had style.

Ahhh ! So great to say these pioneers @ work ! Love this clip it's really nice to watch. Beautiful filmed also !

Never thought about it before, but watching guys in their 50s and 60s do this kind of dancing, it's probably great for mobility and flexibility in the same way that tai chi is. Keep on poppin' and lockin'!

OK, so where's the rest of this video? I need more of this! This is the dancing I love to watch! Thank you for sharing this little bit, but I'd love to see a full-length feature on this!

holy shit, watching Chuck's neck hits in HD is EPIC

So great. Capturing the living history.

Oh Snaps..!!! OG Mike!!!

That was dope, we need more

REAL OG's.

RESPECT

THAT WAS AWESOME !!!!! GO SAL !!!

Chuck is the definition of an O.G.

I would like to be taught by these veterans

Rock it y'all!!!

Yo whats up? I had to take a moment to give you love on your video. I dont ordinarily drop a lot of time on youtube but its always a amazing matter when you stumble by dope posts. Ive been working to build my material lately so ive been taking more time to link up with people and hope i can get the same love! Much appreciated!
