The Floorlords breakdanced their way to legendary status in b-boy and hip hop communities, and progressed to mainstream attention after being defining force in the emerging art of breaking. The crew formed in Boston in 1981 and went on to become a professional dance troupe, creating a show called Floorlore that incorporated the elements of hip hop, such as MC-ing, breakdancing, graffiti, and beatboxing, with a multicultural approach to dance that draws on elements of meringue, capoeira, martial arts, and African dance. The group also helped expand the popularity of hip hop, partially through their television appearances on shows such as LIVE: WITH REGIS AND KATHIE LEE and THE DONAHUE SHOW. This release is comprised of tour footage and features some of the foremost B-boy crews in the world, such as Nightcrawlerz, Skillmethodz, Dynasty Rockerz, Phaze II, and Flipside Kings.
