ROCK STEADY CREW-FLASHDANCE

[Jrowe70]

When I was only 14, I went to go see this movie just for this short break dancing scene with Rock Steady Crew, it was worth it. I remember it well. Good scene but too short. "Crazy Legs" a member of Rock Steady Crew actually performed as a stunt double for Jennifer Beals dressing in womens tights and wearing a wig doing a back spin for the audition scene in Flash Dance. Jennifer Beals (the star) now plays a detective in the new TV series "the Chicago code".

[BillKiernan]

music sucks.

[JabbaQuestBlueprint]

The dance is AMAZING!! But the music is lame!!!! and im dutch to....

[mudwogs]

i am lookin for rock steady crew albums .. any ideas where i can get them

[Beat87]

@mudwogs i have 1 and the only 1 i think lol i can send you if you want

[oo0ReaXioN0oo]

Music is Dutch shit, but it ain't serious.

[GrandMasterRapid]

Not many people really know who is in this movie...

Mr. Freeze, Crazy Legs, Ken Swift, Frosty Freeze...

[tsjakka7]

LOL! dutch hiphop xD

[Mannchild11]

Incredible that to this day no one can mess with the originals. Perfect example of having the IT factor. It comes from deep inside.

[Techspert]

OMG... SickeSt uprock ever @ 1:13 !!!

[bboyblackful]

W HIP-HOP!

[OrigineDuMonde]

what the song that plays? it's not steady crew. it's german freestyle rap? name the song please

[MrTekirdagRakisi]

very nice good feeling.....

[jwh1999]

Who is the guy with the umbrella?

[kitaparakalo]

I grew up in Manhattan. This came out when I was in 8th grade. I used to go and see Flashdance every day after school just to watch this scene.

[lilypie07]

wtf, where is the song that was played in the movie..its not this !!

[thatbboyrandom1]

way back when bboying was exploited to the fullest...we not breakdancers we bboys..in the name of frosty freeze!..if they really wanted to make us known.and loved it as much as we do then they would have labled this as bboying.aand that would have followed to this era..sadly the media just wants to do what ever they want and claim it as there creation like everything else.. bboying is an art not a circus act.its not just moves or circles it is people expressing there selvs threw move ment

[CalicoatMaker]

@thatbboyrandom1 I guess you can't express yourself by spelling.

[shamarone]

no offense to the music, but to play the RSC scene from flashdance without jimmy castor's "just begun" is sacrilege...

[BboyMeeperFrk]

Here you guys see that Bboys invented "the moonwalk" and not MJ.

MJ bought it ^^

[mostwantedm3]

@BboyMeeperFrk Actually its been around since the early 1900's just remastered over and over again.

[BboyMeeperFrk]

@mostwantedm3 Yes man, you are right --> watch that video -----> ( /watch?v=4axM1TZtkh0&feature=p­layer_embedded#at=218 ) at 3:34

[coulari]

Yo jologs21, next time you speak to Legs ask him where this scene was shot. I always was curious to know. The movie takes place in Pitt but my bet is that it was somewhere in NYC. Thanks, peace!

[BeyCipher777]

@coulari it was shot in Pittsburgh Pa

[mrijkhals]

clip=leuk, music=suck!

[bboynijntje]

waarom de opposites

[CheckThisSaw]

hahahhaha 0:36

[mayena]

Is the song suppose to be Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's Just Began (1972)?.

[ebrhymes]

it didnt start it it is what brought us back out

[fnkdrmmr]

Frosty RIP.

[lurizdarooster]

Anyone know the exact location this sceen was filmed?  The film takes place in Pittsburgh but my guess is that this sceen was shot in NYC.

[STEEZYOG187]

no black breakers?

[Holyfiremikey]

@STEEZYOG187 The guy with the fro who does the deadman drop landing on his back, and zulu spins is African American RIP actually, he passed away in 2008. Bboy Frosty Freeze.

[timvallerio]

The film never gave much importance to stunt, Marine Jahan never had her in the credits, she did the whole dance Jennifer Beals.

[TheHardFluff]

this is great, if any of you guys knows what PLANET B-BOY is, check out my site for a review on it.

[ramennoodlechef]

is the short guy with the white cap Teriyaki?

[1234breakdancer]

@ramennoodlechef ...No it's not "kuriaki"...it's "normski"..a different b-boy..

[monkeyboy60]

the footwork here just wipes the ground with what goes on now. So fast and so precise and so, so much better.

[123JumpingJacks]

I was breakin and popping before I knew this movie existed. I doubt this was the conduit that propelled breaking. It was all the kidz doing this stuff that made people putti it into movies. You have to understand what it was like then. Every one was doing it, writing it, rapping it, dressing it! Eventually it hit the white audience. The audience that pays lots of cash for movies, clothes, etc.

[VZ935]

I would buy the Flashdance DVD if they would come out with a Special Edition with all the Rock Steady Crew's footage !

[VZ935]

@VZ935 Oh.. and make it Blue Ray !

[puukeko]

@VZ935 me too !!

[05Douse]

THIS IS HIP HOP!! yeeeeah!

[DarkLongRockLee]

que grosos son este tipos creo que si me pongo las pilas realmente sere hacer haci XD

[chidori729]

i remember this and i wasnt even born what song is that?

[rossao11]

The Jimmy Castor Bunch "It's Just Begun" 1972

[pecorino69]

@14Words14Words actually no, a show on TV called "That's Incredible" put it up in the late 70s but it wasn't accepted by white people till this movie came out and then it got stupid but its back strong as ever with bigger moves and teachers...kinda sad to have to pay to learn now...

[dahoss65]

Yo you wrong man. where I come from, the motor city, white people were breakin in at least 79 along with blacks and latinos. It had really taken off in detroit(and suburbs) in 1981 though two years before flashdance.

[pecorino69]

@dahoss65 nah, your wrong brother, think back and don't imagine somethin that aint true. Electric Boogie was already strong in the 70s along with Lockin' but very few white folks knew about it. Becoz Disco died and Mid-West was all about ROCK remember the Disco Sux shirts? yea, i think your confusing the time line.

[dahoss65]

No im not wrong. I was born in 65. In 1979 I was 15 & didnt own a car. Therefore I use to catch ride to the local teen club where they play the music which homies(and some laides) were breakdance to. Like I said, by the time I was driving myself in 80/81 breakdancing was well under way n the motor city. In 83 in was also established on bourbon street in the french quarters of new orleans.

Im sorry if you werent there & only know the history that you wish it to be, but I was there, and doing it.

[pecorino69]

@dahoss65 wrong again bro, i was there and no one could stop me! From the west side of Chicago(Humboldt Park) and we were Lockin Poppin(Electric Boogie) and Breakin since i was wee lil, your only a year older than me so slow up onda age/wisdom thing bud...and as far as the club scene, who had money for that? we were breakin inda park and on the corner down town for nickles (or dollars) dont try and school me fool, your justa burb brat lookin for a SA LAPPP! hahahahaha

[dahoss65]

I didn't say you werent there as far as dancing. I said you werent THERE as far as DETROIT. And I wasnt burbs. I grew up in westside detroit. If you wanna be all gung ho about "breakdancing" so be it. I have more things in life to to worry about. So have at it.

[dahoss65]

I had bought black parachute pants when I was 15 for dancing. You figure out the year. And btw, while you were making nickles and dimes, I was on bourbon street making dollars. One of the first there doing it.

[pecorino69]

@dahoss65 its cool brotha, i here ya, just breakin ballz, thats all peace to yaz!

[buggeazy102]

@pecorino69 well on the east cost poplocking started the end of 79 to 80 then from 81 on breaking toke off

[pecorino69]

@buggeazy102 yup yup i remember learnin some robot and lockin as far back as 75, from my Uncle Noe when he got outta the USMC after Vietnam. He brought that shit shit back to Chicago from the west coast...but i dont think he was the only one, lotsa guys were bringin the dances back from over there...

[buggeazy102]

@pecorino69 yea maan back in the day this guy moved next door to me he was from NY we became best friends we use to be out side on the corner poplockin we had a big radio an we was real shy about it he would bust a move stop then i would do the same people would ride by in thier cars looking it was funny and some people would walk up on us for a challeng

[buggeazy102]

@pecorino69 im gonna send you a vid. from back in the day it was the last great video for breaking after this it died out

[pecorino69]

@buggeazy102 cool i'd love to see it...

[wendileona]

:53 oh yeah - that one I never saw - what was it called, reverse worm or somethin'? So, is this extra outtake footage thats been underground for years?

[Techspert]

Sickest uprock in the the history of toprockin' @ 1:13 !!!

[Techspert]

I've seen Flashdance but MOST of this was cut from the movie. Dope! How can I get the uncut movie.

[scorzi]

Met Crazylegs (the guy with the umbrella) last year. Still looks exactly the same. In shape, youthful, and can still do all his tricks.

[Techspert]

@scorzi That's not Crazylegs (with umbrella)... that's Mr. Freeze.

[gwada571]

and you can find the song in youtube.

[gwada571]

the song is JIMMY CASTOR BUNCH,IT'S JUST BEGUN;

[likezeboss]

it didn't start breaking but it did make it a lot popular than it was before the movie came out

[brisrite]

very tru bboying was allready a fully fledged part of the underground hip hop movement , though personally i reckon its movies like beat street and wildstyle that really showcased this culture to the world for the first time, hell go back before that, nebody seen STYLE WARS, if ya want to know about hip hop watch that first

[pecorino69]

how could this movie have started Breakin when it was already in my hood in the late 70s...

[spikeyboyx215]

wat songg is thatt?

[HI101094]

that suicide at 0:36 must have hurt!

[IslandVeeDub]

1:22 Ken Swift is the man

[brookelynnnnz]

RIP FROSTY FREEZE

[Arcadiaburnsx]

My man normski! definitely a good dude, I went to the high school where he teaches (Edward A. Reynolds.) One of the coolest people you could know.

[lafebbraforever]

Wonderful!

[LouBeatz0913]

norman is a teacher..now in high school

[jologs21]

besides mr.wiggles.

[jologs21]

normski!! one of the greatest popper of all time in the world.

[muke187]

@jologs21 type in salsa smurf and the vid has great footage of him poppin

[jologs21]

@muke187 i already add that, but thank thought

[VZ935]

@jologs21 Norman Scott aka Lil' Normski ... maybe what .. 12 or 13 years old here ? Off the hook !

[jologs21]

@VZ935 oh yeah. thats his real name... i would love to meet him...

[Khultan]

@jologs21 No disrespect, NYC the competition was/is very high. You're only seeing what the media got you to see. I'm pretty sure there were 10, 000 others kids in NYC in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, that were burning it up, for real. No single person stood out. That's what makes NYC so FRESH: there were a horde of kids tearing shit up.

[jologs21]

@Khultan oh okay i i wasn't in NY in those years. . But definitely there a lot more popper out there. I feel you. like Kippy Dee or something. I'm pretty sure there a lot more. I'm not suprise. I saw some old videos.. It funny because they still doing it now in underground. The underground street dancers. At the funk box.. New generation.. Only in New York City

[jologs21]

@jologs21 sometimes. i see fable, i see jazzy jay, crazy legs. and young ones..

[Khultan]

@jologs21 Yeah, only in NYC, but a lot of people since then throughout the years up to this present time have contributed, from Europe, the Pacific Rim, South America, everywhere...

[djweston2001]

@jologs21 king of poppin, now a teacher in nyc...

[jologs21]

@djweston2001 which school?

[djweston2001]

@jologs21 cant remember what its called as i havent been to new york in a while, i was talking to crazy legs yesterday though & he said normski still works there..

[next2flexent]

yeah you right normski was one of the best and yeah motherfucka he´s my cousin original rock steady crew nigga 4 life

[DanielKeithMorrison]

Ii say Mr. Waves would eat him during that time! Wiggles ended up eating the both of them though.

[Peaceflip1]

Norman was the talk for a long time. From what I heard, he hung out with some pretty good poppers and that Kippy (RIP) was his main influence. I knew some of Norman's friends and they got to tell me some pretty good things about him as a person. What's he doin' nowadays? Norman was a popper that inspired me, too. Peace.

[definition72]

....and nobody ever mentions norman..wow thats crazy!!

[vegeta2332]

mr wiggles.. rss that BOY was sick.. to the BONE.. he was in his own CLASS.. remember him well.. bew from New YOrk.. (ps old school is best school)

[Peaceflip1]

I'm upset about that too, because we didn't get to see a lot of Norman back then and I feel some people should start giving his name more as part of Hip Hop History. He definitely paid his dues......

[Khultan]

I'm depressed and stunned at the same time. 26 years later and now there's video segments that I've never seen before. Nice, though.

[ceviche666]

Yo this wasn't even in the movie.

[upinthecut]

THE KID @ 1:17 IS CATCHIN' WRECK!

[optimeg]

The song for this scene is :"It's Just Begun" by Jimmy Castor. It's a classical beat for b-boys.

[AmArNa391]

HEY WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SONG???!!!

[jaimecostarica69]

best and longest break scene ever.
