The story of The Breaks Prom
Prom 64: The Breaks paid tribute to the vibrant breakdancing scene that emerged from 1970s New York City, offering up big band reimaginings of some of the tunes that you'd likely hear blaring from a Bronx boombox during the time.
But this very special Prom was a feast for the eyes as well as the ears, with B-boys and b-girls taking centre-stage for dance battles and show-stopping moves.
Take a look at this handy video montage and some of these great shots from the night...
