December 4th is Wayne Frost "Frosty Freeze" Day!!! I did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wayne Frost aka "The Freeze to Please" before he passed away, but have heard nothing but amazing and wonderful things about him! Everyone that speaks about him says he was the nicest guy and he did a lot to help and support the Bboy and Hiphop community. For those who are wondering who is this Frosty Freeze you are talking about, he was a Bboy and dancer during the late 70's and beyond. He was a part of the influential crew Rock Steady Crew in the 80's and did many performances and battles. He was also in many movies with dance in the 80's and performed to a bunch of music artists as well, but to me the best thing he did was help and teach more generations of people to dance and about the culture. The one I love was actually one of his students when he was very young in the late 70's and looked up to Frosty like a big brother. His approach to the dance was unique in his own style and in the way he taught others as well. He taught the foundation and moves, but always told people to make the moves their own, change, add to it, and make the dance your own!!! I was really hoping to talk with and meet this great and influential man and am very sadden that I was not able to, but I know he will never be forgotten and his legacy and life will never be forgotten! Thank you Mr. Frost for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Frosty Freeze. :-)
