Early Break Dancing

Have you ever seen someone on the street performing for money? Maybe a little song and dance routine? Street dancing has been around for years. In this film, shot in New York City in 1898, a boy performs a wild acrobatic routine. See if you don't recognize some of his moves. Pay special attention to the part where he stands on his head and twists around like a top. It looks pretty similar to the head spin move that is so popular in break dancing, doesn't it?
