The end scene of 'The freshest kids' is great too but this scene is iconic, it's from that era. It's good to realise that electro was hip-hop music for a time,I heard that Crazy legs and the boys here were more into the Funk from the 70s but the director wanted them to dance to this. A great tune and scene
Technically, thars not correct ... Wild Style was releasedd the previous year in 1983, and has allelements of Hop Hop,as well, it's just that Beat Street did it bigger and better, with studio funding ...
RSC was very arrogant towards the NYCB. I always had this in mind when it comes to the RSC. Amazing movie, thrilling soundtrack! Makes me to hit the Dancefloor with some Helicopter moves
This is my life back in 84 in the Bronx. But watching this clip just remind me how bad cats needed to get a fade cut back then. Lol That's the giveaway of when you watching Hip Hop from the 80s and the 90s. Is the haircuts.
I remember seeing this movie back in 1983 at the LEOWS movie theater on Grand Concourse in the BRONX, N.Y. This SCENE in the movie is CLASSIC, & IT STILL ROCKS!!!! THANKS to ALL the BREAK-DANCERS in this movie! 👍🏼👍🏼
