Old School Breakdancing

[alfredo]

I remember during the cold war the Soviets were continually claiming they invented such and such from Jazz* to oral sex. But it appears they might have claim to something thought to be an all American invention.

Those guys would saddle up right after that & go burn down a Jewish village or two before nightfall.

8. I attended a class once where they were teaching 7-year-old boys the roots of these moves and it was

amazing to watch. I also had a class in Kuban couples dancing which was an absolute blast -- lots of hip-to-hip moves.
