Some of The Spades from Bronxdale was using their martial arts moves while dancing.. and would re-enact everyday activities thru dance...Black Willie and Blackjack called this new aggressive competitive dance "Burnin"... This new Burnin style of dance became a big trend all around The Bronx and NYC with young boys AND GIRLS....Teenagers from the Soundview area would often travel around The Bronx going to various other parties dominating taking over the party.. The dance called "burnin" became known as "Breakin or going off".. Wallace D from Bronx River Houses and others from the Soundview area was taking over the dance floor at a Kool Herc party.. Burnin, Breakin, Going off...At that time, Trixie who (got his name from Coke LA Rock)...was the best dancer at Kool Herc/Coke LA Rock parties, decided to battle Wallace D...Trixie started "burnin" "Breakin" dancing on the floor battling Wallace D from Bronx River... When Kool Herc saw his friends like Trixie "burnin" on the floor.. Kool Herc decided to put the "break" parts of songs together elongating the beat..which gave the dancers more time to do their moves.. Kool Herc called the technique the "merry go round"...DJ Kool Herc called the dancers B.Boys... The Burnin style of dance evolved and is the Genesis/the Precursor of B.Boy Breakin (Breakdancing).. Kool Herc and Coke LA Rock (mostly at nightclubs on Jerome ave under the 4 train) became the "Mecca of Breakdance" where all the best B.Boys went... Years later after most of the original B.Boys retired... Latino Rockers added their "ROCK" moves into HIPHOP transforming B.Boy Breakin until what its known as today.. In this video..Blackjack's little brother teach about Burnin "to the beat" and how HIPHOP really started.
