This Salah dude has that old school black soul dance performance in him. He is animated and actually tells you a story in dance. Which is what dance is supposed to portray. He is vibrating powerful in his popping & has technical moves we don't see others do in his popping style. Dude is overpowered. Who beat this guy and who was the best of his era?
All that odd waves and chest pops that Salah was doing, while cool, were all Damon Frost's moves. I should know, I used to dance in a crew with him! And Salah partnered Damon in the late 90's/early 2000's.
I think the moves look similar but they are not direct copys from Damon. Once two people dive into a certain abstract style they are bound to create similar looking moves. Also as you said, they partnered and practiced together. So it makes sense that they would create concepts together.
Both have they're own unique style so you just can't really say one is better than the other your man in the hat just have a bunch of unique moves what the Chinese kid did his thing too Great show👏👏👏👏👏👏
