Spy was an idol and a super hero to many b-boys and b-girls in this Hip Hop game before it ever became commercial. Spy’s influence was the very reason why b-boys such as Crazy Legs and many others wanted to strive and become the best b-boy that they could be. His influence is such that it served as the blue-print for what has become what a b-boy or b-girl must learn in order to become one. He was the absolute epitome of what a b-boy should be. Spy’s partnership with the music showed that in order to rock the floor, you first had to let the music rock your soul. With that being said, it is no wonder how Spy could do just about any move in both directions and make it seem as if each time he did them, they appeared to be different moves. According to Spy’s personal friend and peer, Trac 2 from Star Child La Rock. His arsenal of moves made it easy for his peers to refer to him as “The Man With A Thousand Moves”.

Spy was recognized as the creator of moves that serve as major components to what is the foundation of breaking, such as the Six-Step Footwork, the CC Rock, Swipes, the Baby Freeze, and his Latino flavor of top rocking. At the same time, he was creating moves that would later be taken by others. His understanding of the foundation allowed him to evolve and take moves from other b-boys and redesigned them to make them his own. Pioneers, are the ones who created this dance or developed the dance further.ī-boy Spy, from the Crazy Commandos Crew, dominated in the art breaking in the mid to late 1970’s.
