Breakdancing... Back Then To Now...

in life •  7 years ago 

When I was growing up in the 80's, my older brother and I used to do a little rapping with Run D.M.C.(he would be Run and I would be D).

We would also do a little breakdancing. The basics though.

You know like: the electric wave, the worm, the backspin/ buttspin and a little windmill(was never perfected though, not by me anyway)..

The Movie "Breakin" 1984

Did anyone notice a young Terry Crews at :15 seconds in the video?

Terry Crews in Movie "White Chicks"

I saw Terry in the movie clip and figured I would mention him, because he's kind of famous... LOL..

Now back to the topic.
Not much has changed, but these guys in gals in these clips took breakdancing way further, than what me and my brother were doing.. Ha..
These are considered pros in my book..

Sorry the clarity isn't all that good in these videos..

I just can't seem to get enough of this video..
This little kid is showing this pro, how it is done. The kid seems to have more stamina too.. LOL..
The pro can't figure out what to do next, to be 1 up on this kid.. He just won't go away. Haha
Good video though!!

These guys amaze me with the skills they have..

The first guy in the video,, WOW!!!.. He was spinning so fast, he got me dizzy...
I don't see how they do it, without getting loopy... I guess they find the focal point..

Last but definitely not least.
B-Girl Terra is only 6 years old and already putting her feet on the map..
