Get ready to relive one of the most iconic moments in dance and pop-culture history as Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo returns to the big screen for a special 42nd Anniversary Celebration at The Frida Cinema on Thursday, September 24!

Join us for a celebration of the film, the culture, the music, and the legendary performers who helped bring breaking and street dance into the global spotlight. The evening will feature a rare and exciting live appearance by director Sam Firstenberg, alongside legendary co-star Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers, one of the most recognizable dancers to emerge from the golden era of breaking and street dance. The special event will be hosted by Vashawn Quinones, the son of the late co-star Alfonso “Shabadoo” Quinones, bringing together fans, dancers, filmmakers, and longtime supporters of the culture for an unforgettable night.

Audiences will have the opportunity to experience Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo exactly where it belongs: on the big screen, surrounded by people who understand its cultural impact. From its unforgettable dance sequences and larger-than-life characters to its infectious soundtrack and unmistakable 1980s energy, the film remains a beloved piece of dance-film history more than four decades after its original release.

Following the screening, attendees will be treated to a live Q&A with Sam Firstenberg and Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers, offering a unique opportunity to hear firsthand stories from the people who were there when this landmark film was created.
