How the Bronx Brought Breaking to the World

It’s time to break out your adidas track pants and dust off your all white sneakers because Vox has put together a brief and entertaining look back at the rise of breakdancing, or “breaking.” The short documentary takes you back to the streets of the Bronx in the ’80s, when kids started a new type of dance to get recognized with their friends from the block. You’ll learn common moves and staple elements. You’ll get a crash course in the music that inspired things like moonwalks and freezes. Basically, give it a watch and you’ll want to break out a piece of cardboard and spin on your head for the afternoon.
