About

Once upon a time in a place called Oakland California a special kind of dance was conceived. It was called Boogaloo.

Sometime in the mid 60’s a cultural political art movement was happening in the Bay Area consisting of Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco. Black Panthers, Hippies, Hell Angels, Radical groups of one form or another were walking the paths of Political change. Suffice it to say that Oakland and its surrounding areas were going through a variety of philosophical changes. All of this though is well documented. What is not documented however is the dance movement that transpired in Oakland California.

The intent of this Oakland Boogaloo page is to help preserve Oakland’s legacy and history involving the creation of Oakland Boogaloo dancing and all the moves/styles associated with it.
