Rock Steady Crew Breaking 9th July 1984 in front of Manhattan skyline

Rock Steady Crew busting some moves with the Manhattan skyline in the background in what might be the ugliest suits they have ever had to rock. ;) The ones which they also had to rock in their music video for "Uprock" and for various other shows.
The Rock Steady Crew is throwing down as funky and as fresh as they always have, with the members ‪@CrazyLegsRSC‬, Ken Swift, Baby Love, Doze Green, Buck 4 & Kuriaki.
In no way am I the owner of this material, I purely sourced and shared it for everyones enjoyment.

Breakin in Dumbo. The wife and i went to NYC for the first time for the new year. Bought a very expensive vegan ice cream in a massive sugar cone from that cream building @2:38 and sat on the bench looking across to where they are breaking. That's another piece of break dancing and hip hop history ticked off my list. Also went to the location of the roxy entrance and 1520 Sedgwick avenue.

@@thefluiddruid We are 100% going back so I can go the the east river summer stage location where the jam was at the end of Wild Style (was a 35min walk from it but our feet and legs were already knackered from too much walking). I wanna stand at the exact railings Lee was talking to Lady pink at. Also go to the subway I think on 53rd and 7th Ave as that's the subway battle location. Oh we also without realising stood in the spot of the very opening scene in Beat Street of them dancing on the lino. It's the statue in Madison Square park. I only found that out last night. Gutted I didn't get a pic like I did of the others as I was unaware of the significance.

For most of the eighteen minutes the zoom of the camera has been incorrectly set. For the first three minutes the zoom is set too W. This means that dancers are occasionally not visible big enough. Then there are three minutes during which the zoom is correct. After that the remaining twelve minutes the zoom is set too T. Dancer's body only partially on screen, in worst case only feet, nothing else. Correct way to zoom when videorecording breakdancing is that the b-boy's or b-girl's full body is visible but not much around it.

These influenced me to take up break dancing. There's a few old school videos on my channel of me and my friends in a battle and also freestyling, check them out. I feel so fortunate to have become a break dancer and performed many places. As much as I loved performing, being in a serious break dance battle was a buzz like nothing else. Respect, peace and love. B-Boys will always be boys!
