I remember my friends at school trying to replicate the dance movements they saw on TV on that show. I never made the connection between it and the thriving French rap culture, but it makes total sense. Thanks for unearthing this gem!
It's really pretty incredible that it ever existed, much less that it was all so supported. In the US, we had Soul Train, which was incredible and did a lot of similar things, but not in such a purposefully educational way. And Sidney is a really interesting person, too. I'll be doing something on him next week!
