Think breakdancing died in the eighties? Think again.
PLANET B-BOY is a feature-length, theatrical documentary
that re-discovers one of the most incredible dance
phenomena the world has ever seen. Originally known as
“B-boying”, breakdancing was an urban dance form that
originated from the streets of New York City during the
seventies. Along with Emceeing, Graffiti and DJing,
B-boying served as one of the crucial elements in the
birth of hip-hop culture in America. Through the help of
movies like Flashdance, Breakin’, and Beatstreet,
breakdancing took the country by storm, and teenagers
across America were spinning on their backs doing
“windmills” and training their bodies to “pop and lock.”
Like most dance fads, however, breakdancing eventually
faded into the annals of pop culture history. Three
decades later, B-boying is back in full force and has
evolved into an art form, reaching a level never seen
before. The basic moves from the early eighties have
developed into a highly sophisticated and unimaginably
acrobatic dance form. PLANET B-BOY will take you inside
the international, underground b-boy scene happening
today in Japan, France, Germany, South Korea, and the
United States. We will explore the most compelling
stories and characters of five of the best b-boy crews
from around the globe as they prepare to face off at the
BATTLE OF THE YEAR - one of the most prestigious b-boy
events in the world, held annually in Germany that serves
as the World Cup of b-boying. Along the way, we will gain
a poignant insight into their lives, their friends and
families, and their unique cultural and social situations
that drive them to devote their entire lives to the
dance. At the BATTLE OF THE YEAR - our subjects will go
head to head with crews from nineteen different countries
in one of the fiercest dance competitions ever seen. Ten
thousand screaming fans will witness their one shot at
glory and see who will be crowned the best on PLANET
B-BOY.
