A b-boy cipher—the goal is to get in and show your best moves.

The movementis swift. A giftfrom the revolutionsof Earth, the universe.

A body hitsThe floor;gives birthto a new move,a new wayto rotate,a new wayto glide.It is exerciseand art combined;a body suspendedin time; no wayto press rewindas innovationand creativityhas been achieved.The dancers breathe,believe in who they are

In all of the stars,moons, galaxiesthey see when aa move is complete.

The styles are elite.

Have you seenthis universalmovementwhere the bestof the bestcompete?

Where anyonecan join in todo waves, pops,locks, backspins?

It created a revolutionall across the world;in various cities;on pavements in streetswhere young brownand black men werebeat by the police.

These young peopleneeded a release!

Hip-hop, break dancingis all about peace.

It is a revolution.

A solution.

A contributionto the freedomof marginalizedcitizens of theUnited Statesnow makingan impactall over theglobe.

Break dancing is an ancient form of dance that is universal. It can be found all across the world.
