World’s First Breakdancer Caught on Film

This seems like one of those Internet urban legends, but the video was actually posted to YouTube by the Library of Congress. It was said to be shot and copyrighted by Thomas A. Edison on April 21, 1898. If we're not mistaken, this “preadolescent boy, dressed like a street urchin” rips off a headspin along with some other classic B-Boy moves. Hot shit.
