Chicago Footworking & Detroit Jitting | Breakin' The Law 8 | STRIFE.TV 

The jitt has been around for over 75 years and is a dance where you "work" your feet=footwork. And some idiot on here is trying to say Detroit is tryna be like Chicago?

This video is 70% footworking and 30% jitting, and there's no jitting music played, only footwork music. That's interesting...

just wanna say respect to strifetv for bringing us videos from these events of any form of dance

Guys cmon. Dancing is dancing. Dancing is expressing. StriveTV can't deliver to all your needs. What ever happened to respecting the dancers that can be themselves without anyone having to criticize? Dancing is an art, no matter what form. We all live what we do. Whatever it is, it's still dope.

I'm midwest boy....heres the histroy -Started in detroit during the disco era -In the 80's the danced transitions to Techo/ghetto tech (Detroit) and House (Chi) -Chicago's style (Juke) is faster and more improvised but can choreographed ...Detroit's (Jit)is based on certain moves. Dueces

And the city of Detroit was around before Chicago. I swear it's like Detroit and Chicago be having this beef when they are exactly alike. But I can see why cuz some of y'all chi town folk be acting like y'all so much better from my experience. And Chicago can footwork all y'all want leave the jitting to us since it's our shit

Give it 2 years and every asian kid in the world is gonna be doing this ..... like bboying

I can tell the Jittin starts at 1:39. Mega mega similar styles between the two. I'm a Detroit nigaa, but hats off to our Chi-Town cuzzos

Please watch footage from Black dancers from the 20’s and 30’s where it all began.

First of all Detroit has never tried to be a mini Chicago. We have our own shit and always had. Jitting has been around for FOREVER. Every time someone is talking about Detroit Chicago is always bought up but can't help that because they are "sister cities" I can say Detroit doesn't get the recognition we deserve and shit is always being taken away from us. Chill out with that shit forreal

@tremerin1 LOL. One of our guys wanted to enter the battle, only to realize there was another type of "footwork", too. haha. It's a first for us, too.

@daniel25300 there's definitely a foundation. Daze one, the first guy in the video, explained some of it to the crowd during the event. @hollywoodholt is him I think, he can explain the history of the dance much better than we can.

@najma50000 yeah it's coming. The main problem is that we have 3 cameramen, and due to all the hectic of event logistics, needed to transfer files to each other online after the event. American internet speed is taking forever. :-(

YO KEEP THE CULTURE ALIVE YALL!!! SUPER DOPE!!!

Dope coverage Strife, its good to branch out and film other styles. Keep it real like always!

@strifetv I never seen before this kind of dance, but is great :D

hey what's the 1st and 2nd song in this video? they sound like something i'd rock to

whats the name of that song they killin it to

SYTYCD just turned me on to this style. Amazing....

first time i heard of it & seen it & it's hella funky

The song is amazing, I was wondering what the name of it is?

@girtisholland isnt rocking and toprocking the same?

Song mix being played please it is good.

what is name song? please!!

youtube should put a "slowmotion" button for video like this. by the way ! Hell a dope foot work there ! dammm

What is this song? It's bad ass!

Y'all showed mostly Chicago..Detroit one time..

Sooo u just wasnt goin to acknowledge the Detroit Jitting in this video?

What’s the difference? 🤷🏾‍♂️

isnt this something like toprock tricking?

What us 80s babies do used to do facts you young can bring it dope

@trueknowledge. Btw that's the correct way of spelling those words. Next time there is a battle of this sort please come. I have no problem treating you. Detroit and Chicago stand up.

free step?

Dope! first time i seen this was from p.diddy's assistant. he always bugged out on the videos with some footwork. keep it coming strife. everybodys gotta realize undergrounds is underground support the movement. bboys aint the only street dancers...pas~ Quecho...BTY

Bboys stop complaining about every vid that strife makes that's not bboying. Expose yourself to other dance styles if you're truly a dancer and don't be ignorant, just like we dont like people being ignorant of our culture. who knows, you may get inspired and learn something from them to make your shit stop lookin so generic. wanna watch only bboy vids? go to bboyworld btw, first dude killed that ish

thumbs up if you didn't know about this dance style until now

Stop trying this chicago Detroit shit nigga we all MW u feel keep it chicago Detroit from feet to stepping. to every body im from chicago If u Midwest we got history and gansta shit going on foot worken jitten what all that shit is 100%

Footwork looks sloppy is fuu and they are playing jit music with no jitters...?

0:38 was crazy dope with the lighting flashing on beat! but yeah I was disappointed because I thought it was bboying too..

@Leebaysickids oh thanks for the response.

lol not the footwork i was expecting but it was pretty dope

@ESSICXHUNTER lol nothing to do, bboying started way earlier than housing and it started with toprocking

Detroit Jitting catch me on season 10 of So you think you can dance representing. #Jitastic #TeamJit

So good! :D

Jitting is far more superior and polished. Chicago foot workers look like they’re playing Dance Dance Revolution 😂

@BHBoi Oh and its a BIG rivalry between the two cities like in everything else lol...

Where to learn it... Would look so cool if used with bboying :D

DETROIT JITTIN BABY

chicago footwork kills that jitting which is the bastard son of footworking

ima bite this for my toprocks haha jk

nice intro!

i respect any dance, where the dancer kills the beat.

when i saw the name: footwork in strifetv channel, i think that was a bboying footwork.

If these guys bboyed they might not be able to do power and "footwork" right away.. But their toprock would be amazing o.o hahaha cool stuff..

bet none of you in ur computer chairs can even move this fast

@tremerin1 I was ready to study some downroc lol

get 25/25 FiOS, Strife!

you shouldnt have thrown godzilla over the other tracks.

wtf?? what ever happend to bboying on strife tv??

There's no Jit"n here at all

first yeah yeah yeah!!!

95% chicago and 3% jit other 2% stop it.

Well it is chicago xD

Im from Detroit Eastside dont talk shit about shit you dont understand facts

footwerk didn't come from breaking or "housing" it was created in the hood in the southside of chicago @jinruizhang breaking started before house

Footworking is heavy overseas..nobody jits anywhere but old run down detroit lmao..motown is gone sorry guys

Team Jit!!!!!

smh

juke only look good if several dancers start doing they own thing at the same time. They gotta get some Detroit moves before they can make it look good individually .

That chicago footwork shit look weird....Jit for W

meh

As far as jittin Chicago ain't on our level...PERIOD

That Chicago shit look stupid compared to jitting no comparison.

Yeah yall knew to stay away from Indiana

chi-town footwork is da sweetest

Detroit always trynna be a mini - Chitown

01:22 🔥

KRONK BOXING 101.THECNOLOGY AND SPEED OF BOTH STYLES IS FANTASTIC REALLY PRODUCES EXCELLENT FIGHTERS 👏 👌 👍 🙌 😀
