New York City Breakers performing at
President Ronald Reagans 1984
Inaugaration

This was in my opinion one of the greatest televised moments in Breaking History it was like the
New York City Breakers were representing all breakers as a whole, it showed the world the art
form, the passion the incredible skills attributed to breaking it was like saying" look at us we
can't be denied anymore". This show only featured breaking no singers, no extra people, no
little glimpses of a celeb it was straight out- coming at you-in your face BREAKING it was
incredible!

(for those of you that are to young to remember Merv Griffin he was
like the Jay Leno or David Letterman of the 80's but in the afternoon
New York City Breakers
in an earlier 80's
performance for President
Ronald Reagan
The New York City Breakers were one of the most famous and recognized groups
in the early to mid eighties , and were a great inspiration to many Breakdancers
including myself each one had an incredible style and flavor. They also started a
whole fashion statement in breaking clothing ,as well, by wearing a tight fitting
jogging suit made by Hinds that allowed you to spin easier ( I know I had my share
of shirts and pants from Hinds that I used in shows) they helped bring breaking into
the professional and worldwide spotlight with group choreography and clean on
point moves for this reason they should never be forgotten but always remembered
for the incredible talents they possessed.

I had to put President Ronald Reagan in
here, he seemed to be a major breakdance
fan because every inaugaration or event he
had, breakdancers would perform, full props
to you Ronnie.

This was one of the first
national television shows to
feature breaking it was
heralding the dawn of a new
age and dance
