  3. Breakdancing

I could only do a backspin - quite impressive it was too - but unfortunately could never do a Windmill, which was always the most impressive move. I remember doing the Caterpillar a couple of times but starting it off by going into a Swan Dive first. Damn, my bones ache just thinking about it. I don't think these old legs could take that any more!

    My sis had a breakdance box set (2 x vinyl) that I used to play loads. Me and my mate spent a ton of hours trying to breakdance in my folks front room. I think I got as far as the Caterpillar (obligatory swan dive) and a semi windmill. Oh and that crab thing whereby only one hand went down on the floor. Preferred body popping and robotics

    The very reason you'd find squares of lino in strange places! Also responsible for "that kid" you always saw at dances with white gloves, who was stuck somewhere between a robot and a mime.

    I was surrounded by it (I guess it was the intro to hip-hop) growing up, and I would try to imitate the moves, but it probably didn't even remotely resemble break-dancing.

    I couldn't do any of the floor moves but I could flow and lock-n-pop and after several weeks, I mastered the moonwalk! I loved it. It was about the only cool thing I could do in junior high besides run real fast from the bullies.

Do you remember these?
