“Breakin’ on the One” is now streaming exclusively on Hulu
SUMMARY: Break dancing, often perceived as a mix of dance and athleticism, is deeply rooted in a rich history. Moves like freezes and turtles, though seen as yoga-inspired, are core breakdancing elements requiring significant practice, often 8-10 hours daily. While athleticism is vital, break dancing is fundamentally about artistic expression. Originating in Queens and the Bronx, it evolved from various urban influences, including Kung Fu films. Competitiveness, integral to hip-hop, also features in breakdancing. A recommended playlist would include classics like “Apache” and James Brown's tracks, reflecting breakdancing's deep roots. The documentary explores untold origins and the creators' global influence, promising to surprise audiences.
In 1981, a breaking battle between the Rocksteady Crew and the Dynamic Rockers in New York City sparked a movement that grew from its devastated borough origins to influence the highest ranks of sports and entertainment. #Breakin #andscape #espn #hulu
