Crazy Vibes

Another early hip-hop dancer, known for breaking, who has been involved for decades teaching and bringing the dance style, is Richard Colón, better known as “Crazy Legs.”

An original Rock Steady Crew member, Crazy Legs gained notoriety for dance moves he created, appearances in various productions and films, and his community work (which he continues today). He especially promotes the culture out of which hip-hop grew, and which will continue to uphold the style’s changes and growth: “Once you start losing that Black and brown vibe of where this comes from, it becomes something else. It’s no longer culture.”
