My son brought this video to my attention via a darkroastedblend.com link. Had one of those duuuh lightbulb moment watching it. Big Grin Green laugh

quoting from that site .....

"Russian Army Hip-Hop

The roots of breakdance are revealed in this video (with music by Run DMC "It's Like That"). The dance is a mixture of elements of traditional Russian and Ukrainian dances, performed by the Aleksandrov's Russian Army Ensemble.

Thanks Todd, happy you enjoyed it! The same video is running on youtube with original music, is labeled the Soviet Army so apparently the film does date back awhile.
