Rock is Rock and Bboying is Bboying.. Rock is not a 'part' of Bboying. TopRock yes, but Rock Dance no.

Thanks for stating that fact! Being from Brooklyn and knowing about the history of Uprocking and growing up around rockers it actually annoys me when people put Bboying in the same category or even worst, call it Bboying. People need to understand that Uprocking and Bboying are two separate dances. As far as I'm concerned, Bboying didn't even exist until Uprockers from Brooklyn started rockin in clubs, especially in Manhattan where they used to bump into Bronx heads. Crooklyn's the borough!

Is that John Leguizamo in the white shirt or did I drink too much Hennesey???

[garuden]

@catch3000 I gotta admit, even tho I don't live in brooklyn. I researched a bit of the dance, and I'm a Bboy. I have respect in rockin man. I believe it helped bboying grow but they are very separate. Respects man!

u stink

Rocking was first then came bboying,started in late 60's early 70's in NYC James Brown and Bruce Lee era.

@alamocityhunter My point is simple, breakin combines elements of many dances, lindy hop, tap, Africa and Latin. to say that yeah they are different but can vibe with one another. So why say that rocking a dance that came from the same part of New York as bboying can not be combined?

[alamocityhunter]

@PERROSKI323 - I'm sorry bro, but I don't subscribe to that philosophy. I'll meet you half way by saying that Bboying incorporated Rock style steps into the dance, but if you are implying that Rock came from "TopRock" therefore in turn implying that Top Rock came before Rock, I'm going to have to disagree. My shit is str8 son, came straight from the BK not BX.

[alamocityhunter]

@QuoiRoc I'm not even fully certain what you mean. But I'll try by saying.. if we are dancing, no one should be standing around..? maybe? is this right?

[QuoiRoc]

@alamocityhunter But it's ok for bboys to look like cheerleaders right?

[PERROSKI323]

@alamocityhunter

how long youve been bboying kid, rocking is part of bboying, it came from the roots of top rock kid, indian step and pendeumlum step are what basicaly used in top rock, and in uprock. get yo shit str8 cosuin

[StreetLethalRacing]

Good stuff, but this is very different from how we uprocked in Queens. You guys kinda remind me of how they used to uprock in the old Oasis Roller Rink in Ridgewood back in the day. Ours uprocking was a little more Ken Swift oriented. Good stuff though....
