WOW!!!!! This is one of the cleanest vintage videos from the 1980's featuring the NYC Breakers, the Dynamic Rockers and other dancers!!! I love that Poppin, Lockin' and Electric Boogie styles were featured too. Right before the final routine the ladies got there shine too.
Thanks for uploading a high quality version. It was a landmark event for break-dancing which was still relatively young in those days. Nice to see so many of that audience smiled, clapped and rose to their feet. It was something so different in their lives, so genuine, unique and still a little underground they knew it was special. We take it for granted these days but in those days this was revolutionary music, dance and culture which challenged peoples perceptions.
The old timers were pleased to see old break style moves re imagined, look at old films from 20’s/30’s etc, them great acrobats of yesteryear got down & it was revived through breaking.. everything is cyclical
Check Mr Wave out….he was on one….popping, floatin across the stage, check him out in the end in the back hitting his moves…..lol 😅 he rocked that shit!
Je n'ai qu'une chose à dire : vive l'option sport en distanciel ! Ps: belle performance Pss : mon devoir va rapidement être rendu, je ne connais rien au hip hop...
I loved hip hop, because it was inclusive and invited all walks of life into its tapestry. I grew up seeing all types of people displaying their talents and abilities. But somewhere down the line as I grew older, I have seen how racist it can be, and has become. Hip Hop is not Rap, it’s a movement inspired by and influenced by all races of people, not just one. It saddens me to see how ignorant it has become and how it seems it’s only based on how much of a criminal you can be and less on whether or not you have any talent to do any element to it.
Exploitation and commercialization ruined hiphop. Even here they take the dance but leave out the DJ, graffiti writer and MC. But the birth of hip hop was from the black community. The Up-rock was taken from line dancing done in the BLACK COMMUNITY in the 20's. B-boying/B-girling was done by blacks first and the Puerto Ricans put it on it's back.
THis footage is edited… Check FlipRock at 3:38 going into his backspin, him being magically out of it at 3:40, then back into the SAME EXACT BACKSPIN at 3:42. I wonder why this editing was done.
also at 2:11 the guy in red (sorry, don't know his name) has on a white glove or something when he starts to spin on one hand, then it magically cuts to him with his sleeve pulled down over his hand
I realized I'm only 15 and I like shit from NY and the Bronx Manhattan everything but I'm sadly from Vegas where there are not a lot of b-boys and b girls
White folders are like: oh my gosh so wonderful these poor kids... So amazing! Let's just hope they stay in their neighborhoods 😂😂😜 Then when the dancers run down the isles at the end WHITE FOLKS starting yelling SECURITY, DEA, HOMELAND SECURITY PLEASE HELP 😂😂😂😜😜😜😜😱😱😱
