This week (July 24-29), the Rock Steady Crew will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a series of events in New York City. Scheduled happenings include a panel discussion, art exhibit, free outdoor concert and, of course, plenty of B-boy battles.

The Rock Steady Crew is probably the most famous B-boy crew in history. Formed by Bronx dancers Jimmy D and JoJo in 1977, the crew was immortalized in the early 80s through the now-legendary Roxy world tours that exported hip-hop culture around the globe, as well as the 1992 musical So, What Happens Now? and Hollywood movies like Flashdance and Beat Street.

"After 30 years we’re proud to say that we’re still going strong," says RSC president and figurehead Crazy Legs in a press release. "For the anniversaries, we want to focus on all aspects that make Hip Hop the social force that it is. This is about education and entertainment. With crew battles, hot DJs, panels and live graffiti shows our 30th promises to showcase everything Hip Hop represents."
