Rock Steady Crew is a breakdancing crew and hip hop group that was established in the Bronx, New York City in 1979. The group was initially formed by b-boys named Jimmy D and Jojo. In subsequent years, Rock Steady Crew became a franchise name for groups in other locations. The Manhattan branch was created by Crazy Legs (dancer) and Lenny Len. The New York Times called the Rock Steady Crew "the foremost breakdancing group in the world today."^{[cite this quote]}

In Japan, Rock Steady Crew Japan is led by a dancer named Crazy-A, who was one of the original Japanese break dancers. His group of dancers was originally known as the Tokyo B-Boys. Now, Crazy-A leaves it the younger members of Rock Steady Crew Japan to do the dancing. Many of the new members of Rock Steady Crew Japan come from Soka Daigaku, a University which has a break dancing team called D-Crew.^[1]
