MTV opened up a new world for Taiwanese street dance, and by the mid-80s there were already dance crews being founded in Taiwan such as the Lingyi Crew, Pili Partners, and the Popping Brothers. Later, Taiwanese youth saw music videos by MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice, copied the moves, and eventually moved into practicing breaking.
