It is a sad day in the world of dance with the news that legend Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones, has died. The dancer, actor and choreographer was just 65 years old. The news was first shared by Quinones' longtime friend and fellow member of the Lockers crew they co-founded together, Toni Basil.

The sad news followed Quinones sharing on social media that he was recovering from illness, but that he was happy to report that he was "covid negative." No cause of death has been announced at this time.

Fans around the world remember his precision dance move in the smash 1984 movie, Breakin', and the sequel, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo
