Editorial Reviews

The first major breakdancing film, Breakin' stars Lucinda Dickey as a dancing student who dislikes the hidebound regimen of her demanding teacher. She breaks free from terpischorean tradition when she befriends a bunch of street kids devoted to breakdancing. Within a year of its release, Breakin' spawned a sequel, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

May 18, 2004: This movie is worth picking up along with Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo. If you have any interest in breakdancing this is the perfect dvd for you. Old Skool Baby!

March 07, 2004: I used to watch this movie all the time when I was like five or six years old and when i got my new DVD player, I kept wondering 'What should be the first movie I'll buy?' and I instantly thought of this movie. My original copy was stolen about sixteen years ago and this wasn't exactly the easiest movie to find. I watched again and I love it the same way I did when I watched it as a little girl. James Hill, a movie critic, talked about how bad the acting was in this movie as well as 'You Got Served' and I had to laugh because much of the acting was pretty bad, but just like 'You Got Served', the dance scenes completely outweighed it. Both movies also gave you the chance to see some actors/actresses that should become successful, ex: Turbo was pretty good and J-Boog was really good. My six-year-old nephew watched it last night and even liked 'Breakin' better. Now you know if a movie came out almost two decades ago and it's still classic, that was one great movie. For the love of hip-hop, I totally appreciate this movie!
