The world is a little darker today.

Freshy Freeze was awesome!!
(And congrats on winning that contest!)
I like watching break dancers, poppers and such. It’s just amazing what they can do with their bodies.

Actually, I understand it came from Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian blend of martial art, game, and dance created by enslaved Africans in Brazil during the 16th Century.

To: swatbuznik
If you haven’t seen it, rent “School Daze” for the step show scenes. Very cool moves.

Capoeira styles weren’t absorbed until After the first group of B-Boys such as Freshy Freeze, were already celebrities.
I got a confession too, I’m in a few of Rock Steady’s VHS’s as an audience member, I always pushed myself up to the front of the crowd when they performed.
To: Cecily
Cool, I’ll check it out.
And I meant “Frosty Freeze” not “Freshy Freeze” (I had our local eatery on my mind).
