On the floor
For a lot of people, the floor is where Hip-Hop starts: a cypher you're too nervous to step into, a move you can't stop trying, a crew that takes you in. This is where the dance came from, the people who built it, and the rules nobody had to write down.
Make your character. It shows up on every street →Liner notes
This volume leans on Kool Herc and Cindy Campbell, the Crazy Commandos, the Zulu Kings and Kweens, the Rock Steady Crew, A-1 Sasa, Spy, Mr. Freeze, Steven Hager's history and The Art of Battle.

Everyone who stepped into a cypher before they felt ready.
