Why did you have to put that terrible debased music with it?

Thanks for compiling this and putting a name to the face! I've been seeing her clips and wondering who she was. Now I can figure out where she trained and maybe a little more about where she learned to pirouette like that.

That's bull s she's not the first. Those are African moves. All she did was put her own twist to it.

breaking comes from a mixture of gymnastics/martial arts and ballet...as mentioned by chino of the new york city breakers in a late 1970s video clip (its on youtube)...these guys used to watch a lot of kung fu movies in the 70s and many breaking moves come from these movies...capoeira has had limited influence if any.

Tommy Tee- Aerosol.

charlie ? waw ...

OF COURSE SHE IS NOT THE FIRST OFFICIAL BGIRL BUT TO HER CREDIT SHE MAY HAVE SPARKED WITH HER GYMNASTICS THE NEW GENERATION OF BGIRLS NO DOUBT!

Wow i met u and SIKO in the A yard lol it was around 1978/79 siko ask me y was i going over him..and i said it wasn't me lol u to where close i remember it like yesterday...lol SI3 C.I.A.MEN W.O.W..T.P.A..R.T.W..PINK U ROCKED...

where r they

Breaking originated from the Angolian slave martial art CAPOEIRA.Just look at the moves in a jogo,or game.You will see striking similarities!!!!!

were is this?

Why are people taking it so literal , this shit here is dope !! thank you !!

waoh i din't know charlie chaplin did the first bboy dance too ... :DD

4:15 bboy Issue!!

Should be a movie about her life.

yes

Heaven is life!

The Bboys you see here are Scottish. respect to GCB and all the old boys

ok ive seen master swipes, 1990s, 2000s, and headspins. The rest are flips and footwork lol

"Hand over the wax" HA HA!!!

"one song belong to late Malcom Mclaren - God bless his soul.

the remix song is dope. what is it ? like said malcom mclaren :)

ha ha auldy you crack me up ;)

yeaaah the best video

just missing a few like slave trade dancing, capoeira and some of the afro & caribbean dances. deffo got to say it that first bgirl crew was more of a gymnastics crew without and dance just flips/acrobatics. but still a good video nice upload

what an amazing video!!! and the music is fantastic - some of my favourite electro tracks that have been fantastically remixed...i am shocked by some of the moves in this video - absolutely amazing!!! 1990s/headspins/swipes/uprocking/top rocking...and i loved the two king tut guys - great co-ordination and so funny!!. so much for bboying coming from the bronx in the 70s...load of bullshit!!. the only thing missing here is kung fu...many bboy moves came from the kung fu films of the 70s!!

Dope man!!!!

You're Welcome :)

further more all of the break dancing you see today is for show, lots of gymnastics etc. the whole hip hop culture has been commercialized. its great thats it has spread into other parts of the world but its lost its meaning, the voice and expression of those with NO voice and ignored in the mainstream culture. Same with Art and anything else!

what are you people talking about, these are a bunch of cut and paste clips, no routines, NO soul, no flavor not even on a beat. So yes. moving your feet and back flips have been done since the beginning of time, Break Dance culture is a different beast! this is NOT the origins of break dance, do you really think youths from the streets in the Bronx were studying charlie chaplin or any of these other people before they rolled into a battle? lol you must be from the Midwest

bboying is about originality... and these guys inspired the future bboys so..we can't say that they don't deserve the title of ''first bboys'' but we can't say that they truly are...so just give em respect and don't talk too much about the title being apropriate or not.

Lol! I just get what you're saying. And I know how you feel for sure. People are too quick to try and discredit others because something (somewhat) similar came before it.

Very nice video)))) Especially that arabs on 2:20 made me laugh like never))))))

very good.........parabens......foi a inspiraçao para a dança hoje,,,brasilia ,,,brazil..

Seems U R contradicting yourself by saying breaking isn't a culture, but then say it's an element of something that's well known as being a culture. Hmmm. In simple terms a culture is anything that is a way of life of a group of people that indulge it constantly. Hip-hop, skateboarding, gang-banging R just a few examples. Breaking is a Hodge-podge of different elements. I think the video simply shows how closely related different dances are. We know it's not literally breaking.

breakdancing isnt a culture,its a part,an element of the HipHop culture. It is different from what you can see in the video. It has certain similarities,because breaking evolved from this(well,sure was inspired), but man its something else. Breaking isnt just moves,but a dance. TopRocking, going down to a footwork, freezes, than airmoves....bboys/bgirls gotta have some flava, style...flow in what they're doing...and music is the most important.....dictates the way you move...you know

Plus the culture never started with "acrobatic" moves, it began with the "rocking" and footwork, the acrobatic moves were later on added to it as it evolved and grew more popular.

What sets our dance apart from others is the footwork. Footwork is basically the spine of this dance, what makes it unique!

Break dancing incorporates ALL THE ELEMENTS seen in this video including acrobatics. Anyone with eyes can see there is no real difference except the clothes, the time period & the fact break dancing was/is a culture.. Here's an Idea- put old period music to some B-boy videos and see that it works in reverse. Their moves will fit perfectly. Better yet... put those old clothes on them along with the music and see if there's any real VISUAL difference!

Wow...not one 'race' comment (related to the video). Congratulations everyone.

But see? Doesn't count: They weren't grabbin their joank!

thx

where is this and what is this song?

Who is that dude on 5:47?

damn truth at its best thank u graffiti art

dope...........
