In San Jose, poppers from the multi-generational dance crew Playboyz Inc. create an illusion you can’t look away from, as they represent the city's signature "swagged out, smooth, and street" style of poppin. Their origin story goes all the way back to 1981, making Playboyz one of the oldest dance crews in the San Francisco-Bay Area. With electro funk blasting, kids gathered in garages, on the streets, in their local rec centers, developing their own variations of a style of street dance that spread up and down the West Coast. In East San Jose, Playboyz founder Robert Sabala recruited 12-year-old Bryan Moreno (a.k.a. Money B) to join his new dance crew, their moves an extension of their Chicano culture. Friends and family moved in and out of the group over the years, dance moves and street cred traveling by word of mouth and VHS tapes. Today, Moreno, who credits dancing with keeping him out of gangs and saving his life, carries on the legacy of the Playboyz with a new group of dancers, some as young as 10.

Its odd seeing how everyone consumes black culture, but black folks aren't involved
Hip Hop is world Culture yes we created but it was meant for everyone to be involved. That's what's makes Hip Hop the strongest sub culture in the world it's inclusiveness
Stop
Tight but kinda boring lol
