Urban street dancewhich is now referred to across the globe as \"break dance\" or \"hip-hop dance\"was born 15 years prior to the hip hop movement. In todays pop culture  the dance innovators from \"back in the day\" have been forgotten  except when choreographic echoes of their groundbreaking dance forms are repeatedly recycled in todays media. Sadly  this is still the case when dance moves that were engendered from 1965 through the 1970s on the streets of Reseda  South Central Los Angeles  Oakland  San Francisco  and Fresno  CA; or in the Bronx in New York City  are utilized by modern performers.  In Underground Dance Masters: Final History of a Forgotten Era  an urban street dancer who was part of the scene in the early 1970s sets the record straight  blowing the lid off this uniquely American dance style and culture. This text redefines hip hop dance and the origins of a worldwide phenomenon  explaining the origins of classic forms such as Funk Boogaloo  Locking  Popping  Roboting  and Bboyingsome of the most important developments in modern dance that directly affect todays pop culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986283851829,"sku":"ByrdShop_0313386927","price":94.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/underground-dance-masters-final-history-of-a-forgotten-era","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
