As an early member of the Rock Steady crew and current president, one of break dancing’s most illustrious and influential collectives, Richard “Crazy Legs” Colón is a towering figure in New York’s hip-hop community. Instrumental in the worldwide dissemination of hip-hop’s first pillar, he helped take the art form across the pond to Europe, and was featured in the classic films Wild Style and Style Wars, as well as break-dancing’s first big Hollywood moment, a cameo in the 1983 film Flashdance. These days he’s also an in-demand DJ, and schools heads both young and old on the origins of the b-boy and its essential role in the birth of hip-hop. He’ll be joined by Grandmaster Caz, Bronx-born rapper and hip hop DJ, in a live conversation discussing hip hop culture.
