Break dance is alive even today in 2020! I was crazy about it back in the days. Breakin', the movie, was an awesome childhood experience...

[@timeeak4599]

Shrimp was phenomenal. His moves even today would be so cold.

I grew up in the 90s but stumbled across this video somehow. Lent it to a friend & didn't get it back & back then there was no KZbin. Good to finally see it again after all these years!

[@Kfresh1974]

Oh my gosh.... I've had this video back in the day... I thought this was a lost gem.... lol

[@brandonsmith4210]

Exactly. I learned from this

Otis. I remember watching this a a kid. Awesome

[@afflulifestyle1784]

Brilliant to see this here. Being a second generation bboy starting in 1982, this brings back so many emotional memories of such a great era. If you were there it's hard to describe how crazy that bboying era was, it was just everywhere you went I mean everywhere. I can still remember the layout of the video shop we hired it from & everything about it. I'm a proud owner of the same very rare videotape of it I rented from that shop, it's a rare treasure to have & thanks for putting this up.

[@oldskool34758]

Yep,I learnt something alright. I can't believe I've done Locking for years but only just found this simple and funky move. :-)

[@MonarchGuy974]

Finally found this video! I watched this over and over back in the 80s! Mostly because of that girl in all pink! :)

[@tkah1564]

Same

[@cowel8734]

I searched everywhere for instructions on breakdancing, and I found this VHS at a local video rental place under special interests(before the internet). I felt like I found literal gold! People don't know how hard it was to get info back then or even find good music.

[@moonwork4378]

Thank you. This is great.

[@alicenhenning]

guess who's gonna be BREAKING IT DoWN in one of those epic dance-off battles movies keep telling me I'll find myself in some day

[@ianedmonds9191]

I hired this video on my tenth or eleventh birthday I think for my birthday party. Break dancing was big at the time. What can I say. I thought he'd show me to do an eggroll and it would be easy. Damn my young optimism. :-) Luv and Peace.

[@neilharrison3187]

Me to bruv I also got this about 10 yrs old learning all the moves ha ha things you do as a kid.

[@jeremys2364]

Mr Ian - by mentioning the "eggroll" you've legitimized that you're from that era! At that time, all "windmills" were "rolls". I'm from an era when there were no specific names, moves were just called "spins". Imagine - "yo, his dancin' was fresh! He did a spin, into a spin, then spinned!" LOL 😎 HIP-HOP YA DON'T STOP!

[@frankqueno5852]

this blew my mind!!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS DIFFICULTBUT THIS MAN MAKE IT SO EASY AND ENJOYABLE i will practice the shit out of this, to get the chicksss xDDD

0:05 "If you suffer from any back, heart, or other muscular ailments, please consult your physician before proceeding!"

[@jimmywhite11]

Compared to Shrimp ozone was an armature! I mean hes obviously an amazing dancer, but compared to shrimp he just wasnt in the same league! I know they have different styles and all but Shrimp was/is a tenth degree black belt master of breakin!

[@loweni7460]

ikr shrimp was next level

[@the_trooper_72]

And Taco was even better... 👊🏻😉

[@classicmann1199]

I had this on Beta 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣WELL BACK TO THE MIRROR 2021🕺🏿🕺🏿

[@andyegan1]

at 14:52 you can hear the track called 'Garage Dance' playing in the background. If you've seen the movie Breakin' then you will remember this track playing when Ozone and Turbo are practicing in the garage and the heavy beat kicks in...that's Garage Dance. I have the full original track, two versions - also some trivia > @ 49:04 that's Graff Flix (Aaron Ferguson) doing the flare/windmill. he is an original member of Shake City Rockers and was sat on the speaker in the Radiotron battle scene in Breakin'. He created some of the graffiti artwork in the Radiotron club.

Odis Medley, an original Soul Train Dancer, always in fancy dress!

[@BeeDotEee]

Hey! I'm the person who prompted dayle about this. You wouldn't believe how hard i've searched just to get the name of that track.

[@andyegan1]

no problem Bruce, I can believe it because it took me many years too. I'm on FB with lots of Breakin' rarities

[@BeeDotEee]

the dj's down in the colonies just want that one :)

[@mekanix1968]

It's amusing to watch this , but I'm glad I didn't learn from this tape. This was a cash in on the so-called break dance craze then that wasn't really meant to be a fad but an art

[@tkah1564]

Actually back then I saw this clip before the movie and I thought this was the movie 🙄

[@the_trooper_72]

So did I!! Well, my dad brought it me believing it was the movie!! 🤣
