The Floor Survivors, a San Francisco Bay Area Break Dance Group founded in November 1983. The youngest member, Cheo "Baby Legs" Jaime was a 6 year old phenomenon. Other members were, Henry "Fresh Rock" Padilla, Oscar "S.O.P." Baeza, Carlos Navarro (Turn Table Tricksters) and group founder Frank "Daddy Rock" aka "Big Daddy" Navarro. The Floor Survivors won many local battles/contests, appeared on Ch.2 KTVU, Ch.9 KQED & Ch.44 KBHK and were featured on radio KGO-AM 810 to elaborate on new dancing fad to hit the San Francisco Bay Area. Floor Survivor members taught at ballet & dance schools throughout Northern California. They concentrated on original "shuffles, up-rocks and break moves" versus copying the standard East Coast moves at that time. The end of Summer 84, founding member Frank Navarro travelled abroad to Asia (Hong Kong) and temporarily joined the Hollywood East Breakers while being sponsored by Adidas Sportswear. Their Graffiti Artist was David "Nize" Gonzalez from Daly City.
