Street Dance | Streetscape | Pioneers - Smile

Streetscape performs to “Smile” by One Way on The Don Harron Show (1984).
- No copyright infringement intended -
Formed in Calgary, Alberta by Colin “Steamboat” Bloudoff, Streetscape was a pioneering Canadian group instrumental in introducing Popping, Boogaloo and Funk Styles to Canada between 1982-1985. Streetscape quickly grew from local and regional success to become the foremost street dance troupe of its kind to be exposed coast to coast on a national platform. Known for a combination of funk styles, upbeat presentation, and tight precision, Streetscape co-created and starred in Canada’s premiere street dance theater production “Taking It To The Streets”, revolutionized how corporate fashion shows were presented, and were featured on numerous award shows, commercials, TV specials and more.
Founding members were: Colin “Steamboat” Bloudoff, Wayne “The Saint” Headley, Paul “Ripple” Lewis, and Bradley “Breakin’ Brad” Rapier. When not moving together as a synchronized unit, Colin was most known for his locking and footwork, Wayne for his popping, Paul for his waves and floats, and Bradley was the breaker.
This performance featured the legendary Boogaloo Sam (founder of The Electric Boogaloos). Sam traveled up to dance with Streetscape for a number of performances that year after a recommendation from his brother, dance legend Popin Pete, and close friend Roderick Calhoun (RIP). Streetscape was honored to have Sam perform with them.

Man when I was a kid, these guys and the Lockers were my favorite guests on the talk shows. Imagine a bunch of Midwestern farm kids trying to learn these moves out in front of the barn, our parents thought we were hilarious

[@BradleyRapier]

I would have loved to have seen that! 🙌🏽

[@DougFLTRX]

@@BradleyRapier there's a vhs tape somewhere of us doing that. You guys were probably much more influential than you know. We were in no way interested in dance of any kind before you guys (and the Lockers, and the movie Breakin) came along and blew our minds. Thanks again!

A young "Boogaloo" Sam Solomon is a treat to watch

[@BradleyRapier]

Yes indeed! There was one special day when he was with us up in Canada. He and I were hanging out just the two of us and he just decided to show me every popping style he had made up. I wasn't even at a level where I could comprehend it all but it blew my mind.

damn i didnt know Jim Carey was in streetscape.....he truly is a well rounded entertainer

[@roastofsparta]

As someone who started to learn the funk styles, it is refreshing to see how the previous generations would get down. Even by today's standards, the moves are heaps fresh. Thank you for posting and inspiring 🙏

[@Enter_Zoneless]

Please know they are not called funkstyles, its just street dance

[@roastofsparta]

@@Enter_Zoneless Popping and Locking are considered funk styles, they were literally conceived to funk and soul music. Also it's a good way to differentiate them from street dances (e.g. Breaking, Hip Hop). To say it is all "street dance" is a bit ignorant of their origin stories and connection to music.

[@Bongz1990]

I lowkey enjoy the storytelling here🔥🔥

[@pablobianchi7464]

THE BEST.. 🙏

[@BradleyRapier]

Thank you!

[@jeffreyworthen7033]

I love the Lockers to death, but this Street Scape group is very good. They made pop blocking an art form.

[@ereniltonmorais9994]

Olha é reliquia hein!!!! Parabéns...da hora legal demais

Absolutely amazing for sure! As for breaking the Canadian Floor Masters owned Canada.

All of them are brilliant. Who is the guy who moves like he’s in slow motion? He’s so smooth, his body is like rubber.

[@BradleyRapier]

That is Paul "Ripple" Lewis

[@judex3226]

@@BradleyRapier Thanks Bradley, I’ve recently seen the video where you are all being interviewed and Paul forgets or even seems to shy to mention his dancing name. You all came across really well. Boogaloo Sam seemed slightly different in some way to the rest of Streetscape, but when it came to the dancing you all work together like clockwork 👏👏👏👏

[@slowburn7765]

Streetscape... When I grow up can I be a Locker! If you do watch their is moves and compare it to any of the Lockers you'll see a big difference. Lockers more polished and one move flows into the next. Watch their moves in the sinclair and not the moving in a group and itd clear.
