Slides and Spins Breakin' Breakin' Breakin' to the beat Break til you feel the Soul Sonic heat. Break on your back, Break on your head. Break til you feel you're almost dead. Breakin's to the east, Breakin's to the west, North's gonna show you who breaks the best. Energy, acrobatics, and rhythm were all combined in the dance craze of this past year. Breakin' was introduced to most Red Knights through the movies Breokin', Breakin ll, Electric Boogaloo, and Beat Street. Numerous students attempted the spins, slides, and gymnastics of the dance, but not all were successful. Most found that the most they accomplished were bruises, rug and floor burns, holes in their clothing, and headaches. Breakin' was actually started ten years ago in New York City by members of the city's street gangs. lnsteod of fighting, they would break against each other. They challenged the opposing gang members by performing intricate break routines in an attempt to prove their own gang's superiority. Within eight years, this dance style became popular with students throughout the country. A local group was started in Lee County l Ronnie Abney William Alford Ceal Alhthar Rebecca Ames Tobey Ammons Daniel Amoroso Crystal Anthony Dawn Arndt Harold Askew Chad Atchison Brian Atkins Tommy Atkins Kathy Babcock Sean Bacon Alfonso Bailey Ronald Ball Jennifer Ballard Gregory Barker Rick Barton Shona Barton Daniel Bassett Andrea Batcher this school year. One of the seven members of the group, Renegade Rockers, was a freshman here at North High. Leroy, Limber Knighten joined the group one year ago, after perfecting his breakin' skills and winning several break dance contests throughout Lee County. Usually fads and crazes have a short period of explosive appeal to the public, but breakin' was not to burn out this year. Red Knights continued to spin on their heads, shoulders, backs, knees, elbows, and palms of their hands while mothers complained about the ruination of their clothes.
