Breakin' (1984)

A classically trained dancer teams up with two breakers from the streets. One of the first films to bring breaking and popping to mainstream audiences.

Breakin' is a 1984 dance feature film centred on Club Latin, Swing. For dancers, it's a chance to see these styles performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.
