Joel Silberg’s BREAKIN’
(PG, 1984, 87 min)
“They’ll take it to the street!” Celebrate the energy and creativity of early hip-hop culture in this electrifying dance film. Two street-savvy breakdancers master foot-stomping, gravity-defying moves, and vibrant battles, inspired by Kelly, a talented jazz dancer who pushes them to the stage. Featuring authentic performances by legendary crews like Ozone and Turbo of the Rock Steady Crew, plus a cameo by future rap icon Ice-T, the film explodes with iconic 80s funk and electro tracks, including the smash hit “Breakin’… It’s a New Rock”. With pulse-pounding choreography and unstoppable street energy, Breakin’ is a joyous, high-octane celebration of dance, music, and youthful ambition that still inspires new generations.
