The Classic Floorlords celebrate four and a half decades of Hip Hop culture, and the Pro Breaking Tour brings it home to Boston.
The Floorlords are one of the oldest active breaking crews in the country, founded in Boston in 1981. Forty-five years later the crew is still on the floor, still building, still battling, and still teaching the next generation.
This September the Pro Breaking Tour presents the Floorlords 45th Anniversary Weekend: three days, three events, cash and trophies, with judges and DJs who helped shape the culture. Leanskee, founding member, DJ and MC, is part of the weekend.
