Meanwhile, Lee is part of a break-dancing crew set on dominating the scene of their street. The rest of their friends include Ramon, a graffiti artist determined to spread his painting to every subway car in the city while dealing with his girlfriend Carmen and Chollie, a fellow disc jockey who becomes Kenny's manager after he lands him a gig at a Bronx club.

Yo, Double K, chill out.

All right! Get down!

So come on, everybody, everybody come on

Let's all get together and rock along

Twist and scream and shout

Twist and scream and shout

Now do what you came here to

In order to get frantic, you got to get loose

Say, say what, everybody say

Say, say what, everybody say

It's a frantic

Situation

Worldwide

It's a musical drive

Emancipation

It's a proclamation

All across the nation

It's a heavy situation

Frantic, frantic, frantic

Now Shango and Soul Sonic

Two groups of heavy knowledge

are trying to educate you

So you won't become a frantic fool

Vibration of the music,

On the dance floor, fantasy illusion

A breakin' beat, electric boogaloo

Street dancing's now a cultural school

Now sing, now sing

Yo, Jazzy! Jazzy J!

What's happening? What's up, man?

What's up, Double K?

What's going on, man? All right.

Come here. Come on up.

Come on up and check this out.

Bronx Rockers.

Gino.

Come on.

There's Beat Street. Let's serve them.

The Bronx Rockers are here, man.

It's Beat Street, man.

They're gonna battle, man.

Do it!

Break dancing's where it's at

Say what?

Hit me

We all take

Energy

San Francisco

And Zimbabwe

Break dancing's where it's at

Say, where it's at

Break, break

Come on, Crazy baby.

Crazy, my man! Do it!

Break, break, break, break, break

Let's go, Kuriaki!

Come on, Beat Street!

Little brother was hot.

The Roxy's having auditions

next Tuesday, my man.

- We're gonna get you in here, mark my word.

- Baby, let's dance.

All right, let's dance.

Hi, I'm Tracy Carlson from City College.

What's your name?

Hello, my name's Lee.

- You're a wonderful breaker.

- Thank you.

I like you a lot.

Can you give me your phone number?

Damn!

- Why'd Spit do it, man?

- 'Cause he can't do no better.

Like, he used to do these tags

that were just stupid.

They were so lame, everybody thought

they were already messed up.

So now, he's gonna go over

everybody else's stuff.

Man, somebody needs to break his hands.

Does anybody know who this guy is?

Nobody knows.

Check it out.

It's so white.

It's so clean!

Ramo, we gotta.

All you ever talk about is white trains.

We gotta go.

If I get in that show of theirs,

ain't gonna be nothing like it.

Just let us do all the talking about business.

But I don't need help.

I can do my own talking.

We're all going in with you, Lee.

She didn't invite nobody but me.

Little brother, this is the big time.

If you want to be part of their show,

your manager has to protect your interests.

What if they want to take you on the road?

How about some extra money

if they put you on TV?

You think about that?
