Breakin' is a 1984 movie directed by Joel Silberg.

The film was inspired by a German documentary entitled Breakin' and Enterin' set in the Los Angeles multi-racial hip-hop club Radiotron. Many of the artists and dancers including Ice-T (who makes his movie debut as a club MC) and Boogaloo Shrimp went straight from Breakin' and Enterin' to star in Breakin'.

The music score featured the hits, "Breakin'... There's No Stoppin Us," and "Freakshow on the Dance Floor." Breakin' was followed by a well-known sequel, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo
.
