The Rock Steady Crew – The Artist/s

Rock Steady Crew is an American breaking and hip hop group which has become a franchise name for multiple groups in other locations. The group’s 1983 international hit song “(Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew” (from the group’s first studio album Ready for Battle) peaked at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart, and reached the top 10 in many European countries. Members of Rock Steady Crew featured in the films Flashdance and Beat Street, which ignited international interest in the b-boy subculture.

(Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew – The Song

“(Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew” is the debut single by American hip hop group of the same name from their debut studio album Ready for Battle. It was released in 1983 through Charisma/Virgin Records as the album’s lead single. Written by Budd “Blue Soldier” Dixon, Ruza Blue and Stephen Hague, and produced by Dixon and Hague, the lead vocals were performed by 15 year old Daisy Castro, aka “Baby Love”. The song became the bands most popular hit song. The single peaked at number-one on the Belgian and Dutch singles charts, and reached the top ten in many other European countries, including the United Kingdom.

Brake Dancing – The Shape

Modelled into the silhouette of a man break dancing.  Breaking, also called breakdancing or b-boying / b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance originating from the African American community in the United States. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes. Breakdancing is typically set to songs containing drum breaks, especially in hip-hop, funk, soul music and breakbeat music, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo and beat patterns. The modern dance elements of breakdancing originated among the poor youth of New York during the early 1970s, where it was introduced as breaking. It is closely attributed to the birth of hip-hop, as DJs developed rhythmic breaks for dancers. The dance form has since expanded globally, with an array of organisations and independent competitions supporting its growth. Breaking will now be featured as an Olympic sport, making its debut in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Following the proposal by the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) the IOC decided to include Breaking on 7 December 2020.
