Description:
Think breakdancing died in the eighties? Think again. PLANET B-BOY is a feature length, theatrical documentary that rediscovers one of the most an incredible dance phenomena the world has ever seen. Originally known as "B boying", breakdancing was an urban dance form that originated from the streets of New York City during the seventies. Along with Emceeing, Graffiti and DJing, B boying served as one of the crucial elements in the birth of hip hop culture in America. Through the help of movies like Flashdance, Breakin , and Beatstreet, breakdancing took the country by storm, and teenagers across America were spinning on their backs doing "windmills" and training their bodies to "pop and lock." Like most dance fads, however, breakdancing eventually faded into the annals of pop culture history. Three decades later, B boying is back in full force and has evolved into an art form, reaching a level never seen before.
