they all came from the streets, bboying came from the bronx and this kind of house came from the club seen nyc east coast. these the bboys in the club freestyling, i went to chicago in 86, house was strong but they didnt dance freestyle they steppers. as far as out west, they wasnt touchin it out in cali til club mtv.
And that argument of what house dance is or whether there is such a thing continues........ I'm going to do my doc on this!!! I don't think there is a definite answer, cultures evolve and travel globally really fast these days.
hey :-) im very fond of this clip.. this type of dancing. is the house dance battle somehow defined? what are the basics? who can apply to a battle, where, is it international? i wish to try this very much and any information on house battle and dancing at all is much appreciated. love, S.
Ummm...no sorry. House dancing comes from Chicago in the late 1970's. Funkstyles, Bboying, and House dancing were all created independently of each other and the main influences for each style was the music from which each was born. Bboying is from New York (East Coast) during the same time period and Funkstyles are from Cali (West Coast) a little bit later. Seeing as Chicago is the Mid-West, yeah, you can see that there were independent influences for each dance style.
i think there can be other european djs csalling deep theirselves and being really soulful in their sets. For example, in Barcelona, where i live, we have (very few) house lovers who have true love for house and really admire that US house culture and djs. The thing is that i recognize that there's a big tendency to look like a deep dj and playing hard things. This music doesn't inspire me to do any move :(.
GREAT DANCING BUT ITS HOUSE DANCING SO THEY SHOULD USE HOUSE MUSIC !!! THIS SHIT THERE PLAYING IS TAT BULLSHIT EURO TECH SHIT PLAY FUCKIN NYC,CHICAGO HOUSE IF UR GOING TO DO A HOUSE DANCE BATTLE AYO MAMSON IS NICE !!! IMAGINE IF HE HAD SOME SLOW SOUFULL HOUSE MUSIC HE WOULD KILL IT
cmon dood, stop blowing your horn, nobody danced like this in the 70's HOUSE DIDNT FUCKING EXIST BACK THEN ... i mean where do you get the nerve to talk such bullshit, i support 100% that house started in chicago & NY - i have read many books, and heard/read so many interviews from big boys from the scene, so dont start spouting crap like "House dancing comes from Chicago in the late 1970's" caus that just is not true ! it was influences of disco - NOT HOUSE ! im not going to discuss this more..
