Cant no body mess wit Chicago, footwork can go so many ways with its style not even the les Twins would stand a chance, cause footwork itself is one thing in many, then if he wanted he could have did all that in reverse and if we watch someone in a dance battle we can do our own stuff an duplicate whatever somebody is doing in our footwork, I probably didn't do a good job explaining but, I got an idea that nobody I thank tried yet this is only for Chicago footworkers, after we do this every dance style will have to crown ChiTown footwork as the best dance style straight up joe. SHALOM
I'm from NY and brought it to the NYC clubs, years ago with everyone's jaws drop bc as you know it's a rare style. I learned it on my own, thought I created my own style back in 2010 believe it or not. Then, discovered Chicago Footwork Kingz on YT and was blown away... figured out my style was already invented haha.
