Foundation: B-boys, B-girls and Hip-Hop Culture in New York Book

B-boying is a form of Afro-diasporic competitive dance that developed in the Bronx, NY in the early 1970s. Widely--though incorrectly--known as "breakdancing," it is often dismissed as urban acrobatics set to music. In reality, b-boying is a traditional and profoundly expressive art form. Some b-boys display their skill at "popping"--rapid movements followed by short freezes. In Foundation, Joseph G. Schloss walks you through the history of b-boying and his personal relationship to the music and the artists who bring hip hop to life. Meet the B-boys and B-girls of New York's Hip Hop Scene B-boy and Popper, Geomatrixrelaxing in the South Bronx Tiny Love popping in Union Square, NY with boomboxes from his collection Dancer and teacher, SeoulSonyk, a.k.a.
