Out of stock

Back in stock, the least known, one of the rarest and above all the best book on breakdance. A jewel published in 1984 and highlighting the rivals of the Rock Steady Crew : the New York City Breakers. We find there the history of this dance, its different dance steps, its fashion, its codes, all illustrated by numerous archives (in particular from Martha Cooper) or we dive into a revolutionary universe and which at the time disconcerted the general public while seducing part of the American (and world) youth. An absolutely fantastic book whose title of one of the chapters was prescient: “Today the Bronx, Tomorrow the World”!
