The word “icon” gets used a lot, but there is simply no other way to describe Ken Swift in terms of his contributions to the world of “Bboying,” also known as breaking or breakdancing. His signature style and technique have influenced generations of dancers around the world, and he has even had a lasting impact on the terminology used in the dance form.
Monster Energy was lucky enough to catch up with the award-winning dancer for the debut episode of Dream Circles - a series focused on breakdancing and Monster Energy breakers. In it, Ken tells his Bboy origin story: one that took him from discovering a community of breakdancers in Rock Steady Park, all the way to being one of the most renowned Bboys of the past 40 years.

This post is PRICELESS ! I'm a native NEW YORKER born & raised in the late 60's & early 70's. People need to UNDERSTAND that this was our LIFESTYLE. No other place in America could duplicate our STYLE. This post brings back so many great memories.

i you to live right across the street from Ken Swift I used to watch him from his window as I was playing outside by the steps across the street from D'Agostino's I never forget it and watched one they did the video in the park where they used to hang out at next to the pizza shop I remember those days

When i hear the word "Hip-Hop" mentioned, i originally think of pioneers like Kool Herc, Ken Swift, Beaver, Spy, Trac 2, Frosty Freeze, Crazy, GM Theodore, Fab 5 Freddy, etc. THIS deserves to be embraced instead of the latest "Ye, Ice Spice, Jay & Beyonce" gossip.

Need to go to the West Coast. Interview some of the early Lockers, Poppers and Strutters in California. They probably got some good stories also. I'm talking about from L.A to the Bay Area.
