How to Buy Breakdancing Videos

If you miss the days of the "Robot" and the "6-step," you don't have to take a trip down memory lane to relive the breakdancing craze of the 1980s. VHS tapes of this art made famous by the 1984 movie "Breakin" abound on the web--many at a great price.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Check Ebay. A recent search pulled up everything from the classic "Let's Break" to "Breaking With the Mighty Poppalots."

2. Shop at BreakdancingVideos.com. This comprehensive website sells performances in both VHS and DVD format. Here you'll find videos on how to breakdance, StreetMaster Crew DVDs, and a huge array of Korean and Japanese breakdancing performances.

3. Watch performances online--for free. If you're not looking to dust off your VCR, you can also view breakdancing footage online at YouTube.com. Search DailyMotion.com for a huge selection of breakdancing clips. If you're a b-boy or b-girl, you can upload your own videos to both sites as well.

Tips & Warnings

• Know what you're looking for before you buy. Many of us think of breakdancing as a primarily urban, African-American and Latino-American art, but it has a huge following in Asian nations as well, especially Korea and Japan.
• If purchasing from Ebay.com, check the seller's rating before purchasing. Poor feedback scores usually indicate unreliable shipping and/or low-quality products.

Resources

• Watch breakdancing videos at DailyMotion.com.
