Utah Film Center’s Russell Roots and The HERC‘s Josh Perkins on BBB’s screening of Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
- Aug. 11: Breakin’ II, Electric Boogaloo, outdoor screening, 8:00 p.m. at Liberty Park, SLC. Presented by the Utah Film Center’s Outdoor Summer Film Series, in collaboration with Black Bold and Brilliant: “Electric Boogaloo captures the fun and flair of the ’80s underground breakdance phenomenon with electrifying moves, rapid-fire raps and nonstop music! Returning from the first film, Breakin’, Lucinda Dickey, Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones and Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers combine talent and tenacity to save a community center from a greedy developer bent on building a shopping center in its place. The developer has city hall’s approval, but the kids have heart and soul. And to raise money to keep the center alive, the crew pulls out all the stops, locks and pops in a dance show that will either make or break their cause! Preceded by performances from the Hip Hop Education Resource Center (HERC) and a pre-recorded interview with the film’s location manager, Marshall Moore, VP of Operations and Marketing with Utah Film Studios, and memorabilia from the film.” FREE! Come early for The HERC’s performances!
