80′s Pop Culture. Music Videos featuring Bboys & Bgirls
At its peak in the 80′s Breakin reached such a level that it become a worldwide phenomenon. Deeply integrated in 80s pop culture, Breakin was a dance style kids from all walks of life wanted to be a part of. From every school to every mall to every sidewalk, you could see kids with their cardboard floors attempting to do a windmill.
“BREAKDANCING” IN THE 1980S
We had movies like Flashdance, Beat Street and Breakin 1 + 2. Commercials, tons of commercials, learn how to breakdance kits equipped with their very own dance floor, and of course, music videos.
Rock Steady Crew was the most popular crew around and their popularity expanded outside the dance floor and into the music studio. In 1984, Rock Steady Crew released “Ready for Battle” and with it came 2 singles: Hey You The Rock Steady Crew & UpRock. The songs are now legendary.
