Hip-hop hit Broadway cement over 30 years ago, but it didn’t make it inside one of its theaters – as entirely its own show – until now. In “Rennie Harris’ Legends of Hip-Hop,” the originators of popping, locking, and electric boogaloo celebrate, with a cadre of younger acolytes, the moves that revolutionized dance. Throughout the 90-minute performance at the New Victory Theater, no Mariah Carey pushes these dancers into the corners. No Madonna rips off their movement and waters it down, calling it vogueing. This is unfiltered hip-hop dancing at its most expansive and proud.
