Me and Renaz decided to have a movie night at my place. We both agreed that we need to see the newest Finnish document about Bboying.
The documentary was about finnish breakdance scene and how did it started and where is it today. The director Hiski Hämäläinen did a great job. It was really an eye opening experience for me. I really didn't know much about the bboy scene and how it was back in the days. Of course you hear some stories along the way but nothing quite like this. The documentary included a lot of Bboys and Bgirls from different cities in Finland. It was nice hear everybody's stories from their point of view.
The best part of the movie was definetely all stories from 1980's. I was born in 1988 and started dancing early 2000. The scene in Finland was really young even back then. So being a ignorant teenager as me it did never acure to me to ask these kinds of questions from no one. Im glad that later on i've met the right people who definitely filled all the blank spots.
Shout out to Charles Salter (USA) who was one of the first breakdance and Hiphop teacher who gave classes in Helsinki dance academy and continued teaching there for the next 20 years. So know doubt he had the BIGGEST influence on what was happening here in the mid 80's and later on. Much respect to you Sir.
