A rare 80's break dancing instructional video featuring a very, very average b-boy crew called the Mighty Poppalots, who the video hypes up as "taking the world by storm", but are mostly known (if at all) for performing with Irene Cara back in the day, putting out one 12-inch single ("We Are Coming Out")... and this amusingly cheesy video.
Typical instructional video format: routines and individual move demonstrations from the ever-smiling Poppalots, over annoyingly generic electro music. A beginner could learn a basic move or two by following along, but don't seek this out to view many amazing physical feats: the Poppalots just aren't all that special at what they do; their abilities wouldn't impress any b-boy crew today (no, breaking was not just an 80's fad). One of them even has the balls to swipe his nickname from (arguably) the most well-known b-boy of all time, the legendary Richard "Crazy Legs" Colon of the original Rock Steady Crew, who's still doin' his thing today.
Eh, you don't care - you're probably seeking this out for its kitsch value. It is indeed good for a laugh - just realize: b-boying (OK, fine: "breakdancing") did and does reach far greater heights than these four clowns.
