Boogaloo | Robotting | Strutting

The regional "funk styles" of B-R-S from the San Francisco Bay Area represent the communities that developed on the West Coast years before Hip Hop hit national media. BRS dancers can be officially traced as far back as 1967 and were entirely left alone by the mainstream media and film industries in the 1980's because of the uncompromising nature of the dance’s strong cultural ties to the Black Power movement of the 1960's.
As films like "Breakin" and "Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo" took the mainstream by storm, the uninformed public began calling the BRS styles "Hip Hop dance" and its origin story was eclipsed by Hollywood adopting the urban narrative of the South Bronx, which left out the historical facts of the Bay Area's inner-city Black dance culture that had already influenced an entire generation of Hip Hop dancers, poppers, and Pop stars.
