Editor's Pick - The Evolution of Street Dance

 


 

 

  by Joseph Ernest 06.27.2010

 

In this episode we present to you the origins of modern freestyle dance. Going back to Boogaloo Sam, the Electric Boogaloos, the invention of poppin' and lockin' BBoys and BGirls, breaking and waving.  

The video presents the difference between the Funk style of Los Angeles and the New York BBoy style. We will look at how Jeffrey Daniel influenced Michael Jackson's style and how Hip-hop got widely accepted.   


The Origin Of The Moonwalk

 


 

We can clearly see from these videos of the 50's  that the moonwalk was performed by various artists.  They didn't get as much recognition as they should have.  It was Michael Jackson who made the move popular.  Below is a montage of artists performing the moonwalk long before it became a signature dance move.
