History shows that America started a global phenomenon with Breaking from the early 80s. 1986 saw Bboying begin to die out in the States while, conversely, Europe embraced the art form and kept it very much alive. At this time Enemy Squad, a crew consisting of Hungary’s finest first generation breakers was assembled.
Enemy Squad’s reputation for power moves and their sharp choreographies spread fast, striking fear into the hearts of rival crews and gaining them worldwide recognition.
From 1988 members of Enemy Squad went on to top every major European and worldwide IDO (International Dance Organisation) contest which only served to spread their fame even more widely in the Bboy community.
From 1990 they started touring Europe, appearing on various TV shows with their explosive live show.
Enemy Squad has entered "Battle of the Year" in 1991. This was a relatively small competition, but one which had the true heart to breaking. Their skills took them to the finals for six years in the row, an achievement which confirmed their legendary status in the Bboy world, and has never been rivalled by any other crew.
In 1993 Enemy Squad won the biggest talent competition (Ki mit tud?) in Hungary. This was watched by millions of people who had the opportunity to see first hand that Bboying and the wider HIP HOP culture could have a positive effect on the world.
Following this phenomenal success Enemy Squad were approached by a number of agents and they had the opportunity to see Thailand in 1993.
From 1995 the crew was working in Germany’s largest theatres, representing HIP HOP to thousands every day. Their tight schedule saw them touring Europe, hopping from one country to another on a daily basis.
Enemy Squad has performed at "UK Fresh 1997", which was Britains biggest Hiphop event from the early 80s to that point.
Enemy Squad is an important milestone to global HIP HOP history and a reminder of the ambition over adversity which they had to overcome in their own fundamental learning years which took place during the end of the cold war and the fall of the iron curtain. Their triumphs in our culture represent much more than one might understand at first glance but a rather greater significance that can’t be overlooked.
"ENEMY SQUAD has been presented with The Crew Award in acknowledgment of their exceptional achievements, influential presence, and enduring legacy in the international breakdancing community. May their dynamic performances and dedication continue to inspire B-Boys and B-Girls around the globe."
Thank you to everyone who supported us, all the bgirls and bboys who showed love, from the OGs to the young ones. It has been an honor to take part in this beautiful culture that has now officially embraced us. This has been an amazing experience and we wouldn't trade it for anything else. Thank you!
