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.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
