Crowd Pleaserz is a family who breakdances together on the subway in Philly.
In his latest episode of "Uncover Philly," local documentarian Cory J. Popp introduces us to Crowd Pleaserz, a family who breakdances together on the subway.
Popp joined the family for two and a half hours going up and down SEPTA's Broad Street Line to capture the story behind their dance moves.
What I want people to see is how happy these children are; happy to have an audience, happy to express themselves creatively & especially happy to spend hours each day with their father, brothers and uncle. They are incredibly talented, the youngest, bboy fun-size is only 4 years old and can dance better than anyone I know, on a moving train going 60 miles an hour.
Back in March, Popp launched his "Uncover Philly" Web series with a look at the underground stretch of the Reading Viaduct Tunnel. Part 2 explored the streetscapes of Fishtown, which Popp dubbed the city's most interesting neighborhood.
In the third installment of the series, Popp shared the emergence of the spring season in Philadelphia.
