Summary
This documentary explores the history and scope of the Hip-Hop dance style, from how it was first introduced to mainstream America in the early 1970s as break dancing (or b-boying) to discussions of how Hip-Hop has evolved and where it's headed. Despite its popularity, Hip Hop continues to struggle to find its definition in terms of historical lineage, concept, origins, and aesthetics. The movement is also studied as a global marketing phenomenon that has catapulted the dance style into world-renown. Provides a great start to help provoke the academic conversations needed to understand and appreciate the deep structure of the hip-hop dance culture's mode of communication via language, movement, and music. Features opinions from Hip-Hop dance pioneers, current teachers, and choreographers
