The Crew Code

Founded in 1983, the Renegade Rockers are as much a part of San Francisco culture as the Giants or 49ers. Passing their signature Renegade style from generation to generation keeps the crew evolving.

Founded in 1999, Pockemon Crew are known for their high energy power moves. Lilou profiles his home crew and helps them put on a classic battle event to revitalise the scene in Lyon, France.

Founded in 2001, San Diego's Rock So Fresh crew is made up of a wide range of dancers who all revel in the spirit of the cypher, the circular gathering of dance where style can be expressed.

At the lowest point in the UK B-Boy scene, when it was more of a punchline than a powerhouse, Kev Renegade formed the Soul Mavericks and fought for 10 years to get the respect London dancers deserve.

The Midwest style of breaking was pioneered by Phaze II, a crew started at the dawn of the b-boy movement. When founding member Wicked Delgado was diagnosed with lymphoma, the crew changed forever.

Established 2005 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, Ruggeds are the forward thinkers of the Euro breaking scene. Their code is progress.
