Wreckin' Shop (Live from Brooklyn)

This rare dance documentary played a big part in my life and is one of the main reasons why so many of my friends and I became fashion aficionados (Polo Ralph Lauren collectors and Brooklyn fashion trendsetters), and lovers of all forms of dance and music. Actually, I was already into dancing before this documentary was released. I always wanted to dance like the Soul Brothers dance crew from California...they were sick! They mastered the Charleston dance and made it one of the dopest dance styles in the underground Hip Hop dance scene.

However, this video helped boost my interest and build my confidence in dancing a lot more, especially in public. Many of the people in this video either lived in my neighborhood, went to school with me or had siblings that I hung out with from time to time.

Props to all the dancers in this video and those that I missed: Kito, Marquest, Prancer, Buddha Stretch, Link, Loose Joint, E-Joe, Tony, Caleaf, Ramier (Caleaf’s Brother), Rubber Band, Peek A Boo, Peter Paul and the list goes on... Thanks for the inspiration!
