The Freshest Kids is the first documentary to explore the mostly unknown history of hip hop's first dance and its early pioneers. Known by many names—Breaking, Rocking, Burning, Going Off, B-Boying, Break Dancing—the style was born at DJ Kool Herc's South Bronx house parties in the early 70s, catapulted to worldwide fame in the 80s, and evolved through the 90s into its latest gravity-defying incarnation as a thriving underground movement.

For the first time ever, legendary B-Boy pioneers such as Crazy Legs and Ken Swift bring their stories to you. From how the dance originated to how it has evolved through its 25+ year history, The Freshest Kids will leave you entertained, educated, and inspired.

You are invited to participate in an audience discussion with some of the best B-Boys, DJs and Emcees on the DC Hip Hop Scene and a live performance, a showing of a D.C. based music video, and live B-Boy show with guests, including D.C. natives, Beat Ya Feet Kings!
