Rock Steady Crew is a legendary breakdancing crew that was formed in the Bronx, New York City, in the late 1970s. The crew was founded by Jojo and Jimmy D, who were both members of the Bronx street gang known as the Bronx River Houses crew.
Rock Steady Crew quickly gained a reputation as one of the most talented and innovative breakdancing crews in the city. The crew was known for their complex and acrobatic dance moves, as well as their elaborate and colorful costumes.
In the early 1980s, Rock Steady Crew became a key part of the emerging hip hop scene in New York City. The crew was featured in several music videos and movies, including the classic hip hop film “Wild Style.”
In 1981, Rock Steady Crew released their debut single, “Hey You (The Rock Steady Crew),” which became a major hit and helped to popularize breakdancing and hip hop culture around the world. The crew also appeared on several popular TV shows, including “Soul Train” and “Saturday Night Live.”
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Rock Steady Crew continued to be a major force in the breakdancing and hip hop scenes. The crew toured extensively around the world, performing at music festivals, concerts, and other events.
In addition to their work as breakdancers, Rock Steady Crew also became involved in community outreach and education programs. The crew launched several programs aimed at teaching young people about hip hop culture, dance, and music.
