From Las Vegas to Moscow and just about everywhere in between I definitely can tell you about
Night Force which was the Crew I was in for 14 years. Night Force started off as a high school
gang with about 40 members back in 1982 some who could break some who just hung out along with a
crew called Home Boys Only that was way back in 1982. The 2 crews divided and Night Force continued... those who new how to break got organized and started doing shows throughout central
Florida with a manager (one of the fathers of one of the members) Lou Quinones who managed
the group for 5 years. Night Force continued strong for 14 years and had various members with
the core of the group being Chuck, Tim and myself. Who would have ever imagined that teenage
breakdancers having a dream of performing would end up touring around the world in limos and 5
star hotels like music stars... but it all happened. Performing for the largest Arenas to Las Vegas
shows, various television apppearances to even cruise lines Night Force had covered just about all
areas. The group merged breaking, popping with acrobatics, along with unique
choreography everything from Robotic futuristic shows to incorporating breaking to 1950's music,
and even movement theatre incorporating breaking and acro to ambient music
( before there was a Cirque de Solei). We were commited to keep breaking in the public eye even thru
the various years of housedancing,MC hammer and Gangster periods staying true to our passion for breaking from the early eighties to mid nineties. Even when many of the top crews and b-boys had disappeared we kept on performing and doing shows from one city to another...the hotels,cars, airports, women it was an incredible time. For this reason I dedicate this months tribute to my old school crew and friends NIGHTFORCE. |
