Films such as Wild Style, Style Wars, Beat Street, and Breakin', propelling the elements, and compelling outsiders with no understanding of the culture to explore this "new" phenomena. As break dancing became popular, crews like Rock Steady became world famous. Mr. Wiggles was and still remains a part of the legendary crew of B-boys. "I used to was break back in 1976...77'. And when I started breakin' then, it was already big. It had already been going on since seventy-two or seventy. I was like the only Puerto Rican breakin' for a while. I was local though, I wasn't famous. I was just literally known on my block. And what kills me, what people don't know, is that breakin' died in 78' in the Bronx. Breakin' just totally played out. Late 78' early 79', I remember going to a Cold Crush jam
