About the film:
After starting filming in 1992, This has now been a 16 year ordeal in producing this film that shows a previously unknown part of American pop history.

The film takes the viewer on a journey of discovery of the origin, evolution, history and the creators of the Urban Dance forms of Boogaloo, Locking, Popping, Zigzag, Robot, Rocking and B'boying. The film is based on the Guzman-Sanchez Study™ that began in 1983, it uncovers not only the dance forms but the lives of these Black, Latino and White dance artists that have influenced the world to current day. The Guzman-Sanchez Study™ has for the first time validated what was an oral history and is destroying the web-mythology and verbal mythology that exists in the world today. More...
