He knows maybe like 4 dance moves, watch Breakin he repeats that SAME few moves he knows. He dances slightly better then the solid gold dancer who cant break.
god damn all y'all that are payin all the attention to RACE and Sexual orientation, look how fuckin inaccurate you all are, does that not give you a clue that your a stupid bigot? racist? homophobe? in FACT Shabba Doo is STILL one of the most sought after choreographers in THE BUSINESS !! recognize !!
I read somewhere that he was in his 30's when he made " Breakin " I can believe that because I am in my 30's now and people always tell me that they would never guess I would be this old. It goes to show that Black don't Crack
@MISTALARES Do you actually know what Latino is? There white, black, brown etc. Latino. Btw, his father is Puetro Rican and his mother is Ethiopian. Smh.
all apes that are calling shabadoo gay are just jealous ugly dark skinned nig nogs
who wished they where light skinned but instead had to be born a shrek/ape 50cent mother fucker=) true beauty never dies no matter what you apes say, fact.
Who the hell said he was gay? Shabba used to be married to Lela Rochon."Sunshine" on Harlem Knights. Guys,don't even respond to stupid comments cause all you're doing is giving them attention their momma never did.
ricky martin is a father of 2 twin boys and he is gay as hell he just came out the closet and made it public and he is puerto rican i am puerto rican too and in puerto rico is still not accepted to havw a gay son that is why they deny it or hide it for very long time i have 2 gay cousins but they will never admit it because to a puerto rican dad that is the worst news ever yes shabadoo is gay as hell u r hearing it from a puerto rican who is gay too
shutup man please ure argument makes no sense.......yes ricky martin is gay because he has made it public......Shabadoo has not come out and said anything he states on his fb page he is in a relationship with a woman! You are just judging him purely by what you see you have no facts to back your point up and that makes you an idiot!!! Even if you just put "i think he is gay", i would cut you slack but you didnt so your dumb!
hes puertorican and yes we dont crack just like black dont crack i know i know we have african in are blood but still i call my self and my people puertorican.
@MrUnvmee Thank you, I would never have guessed it... When Shabadoo was talking about getting more involved with acting in the interview, it made me think that he was the guy in "The Wire" (Andre Royo)
Have much respect for ShabbaDoo (Ozone). A fine brother who dances from his soul. Chi-town representing. Note: Back in the day homosexuals did not marry or have children. He's been married at least once and heard he has two grown children. Love the 80's such a fun era to grow up in. My children are teenagers who wish to have been around back then. Amazing, seems like yesterday why did they have to go away! Thanks for posting this footage.
Just watched an old clip of him & this other guy. They were hott. Damn I wish the 80's would come back. I'm an 80's baby so appreciate these things. Even the 70's were hott. I guess I'm into old skool things. It will never be the same!
Where is he now? I never heard of him until now. I did see that movie but was too young to understand. I guess I'll google him. Whish that they would play the whole interview
There was a girl on America's Top Model who looks EXACTLY like him, I cant remember what season but I think her name was Jiesela or somesuch, she was from Chicago too, any relation maybe?
Hang on! Do I detect a little homosexual hand rolling here? Is he gay? Shabadoo you were my first real crush PLEASE say you haven't gone over to the dark side!!!!!!!!!! Remember the red tank top anyone? I know those Breakin' movies by heart, still watch them all night......
I was thinking the same thing but then I remember the 80's style was a little flamboyant: tight jeans, hoop earings and processed hair...Example; prince, micheal jackson, debarge. Either way I hope not cause that is a fine specimine of a man there.
Of course he is not gay! At the time this video was made he was married to lela rochon he had like a child two years after this video was made. He had a son in the 70s he is going out with a girl now. Shabadoo is not gay at all
@bkamara1 in the 80s almost everyone looked or acted gay somewhow. It was a wonderful time for music and film, but good Lord thank God a lot of those fashion styles and what not are gone... :-)
Does anyone know how old he was here? He said he was dancing in a club in 1971 - he doesn't even look like he was old enough to walk in 1971! Looks very young in this 1985 video...
He once did an alternate dance to The Nutcracker's "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" as a short film on Saturday Night Live in the 70's. Lots of leg girations and done with mirror tricks. So cool. Wish I could see it again.
That's ozone y'all That man is one of the reasons why Bboy is where it's at right now. Eventhough i'm a krumper, much respect. he's one of the reasons why I started dancing when i was a kid!!
I don't think he is giving off any vibe that he's gay. Everybody was walking around with their hair styled like that and wearing those type clothes. Just because he isn't acting like a thug does not mean he's gay.
i didnt know that. that's interesting b/c in this clip he kind of resembles her. AND I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A WAY OF SAYING HE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL FOR ALL THE PPL WHO WANT TO THROW AROUND GAY ACCUSATIONS. wonder if they had any kids together? those would be some pretty babies b/c theyre both attractive.
No they don't have children together. I am a huge Breakin fan and I read that they were high school sweet hearts. They got married young. I think they were married during the time he did this interview. Lela Rochon is in Breakin 2 as one the girls that hangs out with Rhonda Ozone's Ex girlfriend who he leaves for Kelly. Ozone is (Shabadoo's) character in the movie.
Yeah I saw an interview with Lela a while ago on cable. She says they weren't married that long, and she ultimately left him because he was being physically abusive....
shabba-do (aldofo quinones) is a choreographer & doing some directing now. He's in his 50s now so i dont think he can do some of the moves he pioneered anymore.
He's a legend
