The Big Break Dance Contest Live at the Roxy 1983 Full Video! This is
the complete historical performance remastered from the original VHS
recordings it was taped to. It's over 21 minutes of ground breaking
live footage featuring 1983 B-Boy crews, the Magnificent Force, Uptown
Express, the Fantastic Duo, the Flash Dancers, Larry Watson and Jason
Twigg, the Heartbreakers, and the Dynamic Breakers. This B-Boy contest
was hosted by Leslie Uggams, co-hosted by Carlos De Jesus, and includes
celebrity judges Anita Morris, football great Hershel Walker, All My
Childrens' Debbie Morgan and Darnell Williams, Earl 'the Pearl' Monroe,
Disco Fever Owner Sal Abbatiello, WABC News Anchor John Johnson,
Saturday Night Fever and Beat Street Choreographer Lester Wilson, and
artist Lillo Thomas. Also features a short introductory documentary on
the early Hip Hop culture featuring interviews with Afrika Bambaataa and
other members of the Zulu Nation. On top of all that it includes a
1983 Burger King Hip Hop commercial from the airing, which was
purposefully included to complete the throw-back vibe. The winners of
the contest received $2500, an appearance on New York Hot Tracks, and a
key roll in the movie Beat Street. If you know the movie, you know who
won the contest! Enjoy!
