KEN SWIFT in Stay Original 1997

THE LEGEND OF BREAK DANCE

[@superflyrico]

Met this guy in Birmingham UK when he was on a teaching trip, 2006, taught us that we shouldn’t listen to hype about Basics or Fundamentals like 6 step… nobody counted the steps back in the days and he still doesn’t count today! Everyone was in awe of Ken as he’s one of the creators, they were all acting cool even as he spent his birthday with us on his tour… a lot of typical cool hip hop heads really didn’t get what he was saying about being “yourself”. Great man great skills and great passion! Love this guy!

[@user-nd1zr3fj7i]

Grand Master Ken Swift 🙌🙌🙌

[@pvj2234]

Love the breaks, keeping it 70's!

[@markatchison5112]

I remember being in a cypher with him,getting applauded off by him was pretty epic.

[@princegroove]

Ken Swift definitely has the most swift and fresh BBOY dance moves. 🔥

[@ol2rap]

He's a true legendary master of Bboying.

[@dins5066]

Real b boying back then. Now it's more gymnastics then real break-in. Never saw Swift but I used to see legs often in the BX. Always liked Ken's style more.

[@ramirez6643]

Concordo com você. A dança Breaking hoje em dia é tanta ginástica que inclusive querem incluir nas Olimpíadas. Breaking é dança, não esporte. Isso tudo é culpa dos campeonatos promovidos pela Red Bull

[@joshuahandfinger9154]

much respect to ken swift!

[@fabiandelarosa6987]

Mad props. to the true master Ken Swift

[@disneyboy2572]

This guy has so many complex moves

[@djdedan]

There's a lot more actual DANCING in Ken's style than kids nowadays, his combos reminds me of an amped up Frosty Freeze (RIP) style which was a more foundational style (old school some would say)...

[@DROD57]

A legend RSC

[@bigpesa6166]

[@grinchoi1]

Greatest bboy of all-time.

Inspiration

[@gianfrancoleggiosergio978]

Grandissimo ballerino puro break dance anche noi copiavamo i passi per imparare questa nobile danza nata in strada da questi nobili personaggi

[@derekharrison1582]

I always thought Kuriaki was as good as Ken Swift.There were some top B Boys back in the day.POWERFUL PEXSTER, LIL LEP, FLIP ROCK, KID NICE, ICEY ICE, CHINO ‘ACTION’ LOPEZ & GLIDEMASTER of THE NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS and KEN SWIFT, KURIAKI, FROSTY FREEZE, LIL CRAZY LEGS, CRAZY LEGS himself & the TURTLE MASTER,BUCK 4 of ROCKSTEADY CREW.I would have loved to have seen a full on battle of these two crews back in the day.BEAT STREET showed a glimpse of what could have happened,but a FULL ON battle,with everything going down would have been awesome.Also a body popping challenge between MR WAVE of the NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS & MR FREEZE of the ROCKSTEADY CREW would have been a real eye opener.Its a shame it didn’t happen.As soon as NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS lost GLIDEMASTER in a motorcycle accident,they split up.Its also sad that we lost BUCK 4 & KURIAKI a few years later as well.Still haven’t seen a better turtle than BUCK 4s.That guy made walking on your hands look so natural.A pity BEAT STREET didn’t show the TURTLE challenge between him and POWERFUL PEXSTER in the subway,during the UPROCK challenge.There are photos of it,but I haven’t seen it.Has anyone else seen it?

[@ruslanotarov9727]

Amazing flow, style and creativity

[@brianlord3098]

The truth

[@ulicimbombom]

King Best ever❤

[@stanforddickson6349]

THE BEST BBOY EVA!!! I started in Detroit 1983...love all the BBOYS from NY to LA, across the globe. You the power moves BBOYS, UP ROCK BBOYS, FOOTWORK BBOYS etc etc... but to me Kenny is the best all of the STYLES in one person!!! I was only good at footwork and some power moves(WINDMILLS, ORIGINAL (1980's)FLARES, UFO's and Fast Head Spin(kindly what Crazy Legs did on Beat Street Roxy Battle, but I would spin real fast for about 7-10 secs then flame out. Kenny is the best all of the STYLES in one person. P.S. have people forgot who Lil Alex was??? ...to me he is who of the most underrated OG BBOYS. His Power Moves were before the times!!!

[@stanforddickson6349]

you ^ Have power moves BBOYS...

[@LANSpace211]

Thank you for your service! haha

[@user-ql2xm1ih4y]
