Fun times at the Coney Island USA Spring Gala

VIDEO: PMT Breakdance team last night at Frim Fram
My friend Jerry posted this video of the PMT breakdance group’s performance last night at Frim Fram. For those that came and stayed much later than they planned to watch us, I hope it was worth it. My fellow b-boys were blown away by the audience response. As a lindy hop and hip hop dancer,…
