The Way of the B-Boy

It’s really great to see B-Boys & B-Girls gettin’ their shine in this new full length documentary.  For 30 years, b-boys & b-girls have been breakin’ to the sounds of hip hop beats.  Receiving mass attention in the early to mid 80s, the art of break dancing has not died out.  Check the trailer to this awesome documentary about and click through to read the reset of the details.

The Way Of The B-boy is a full-length visually eye-popping documentary & instruction course all-in-one, about three generations of b-boys and how the method of creating the dance is what changes it. B-boys Jeromeskee (Massive Monkees Crew, Rock Steady Crew) and Fever One (DVS, Rock Steady Crew) start with the most basic step, then reveal the moves and demonstrate how they are put together in combinations – in the original way that hasn’t changed since the 1970s.

No special effects, no Hollywood, just REAL accounts of where breakin’ has been and where it is going. See behind the battles, the style from hard bottoms to BVDs double layered-up, the posture that says «b-boy» just by how you enter a room, and why b-boying only works if the goal is creativity. Many train to win; others train to change the direction of the dance forever.
