voguing, as all other sorts of dancing, is just an ATTEEMPT to let your soul dance and true house dancing is.... sorry cant find word to describe it but if u know house, no words are needed
I learned to dance house years ago in the birthplace of it.. and that was in the loft parties & underground clubs of Chicago, and one thing I can tell you from my years of experience is that real house dancing is a totally spontaneous freestyle form of expression. It only happens when the music is right, and you have surrendered your body to the rythm.
House dancing styles have always varied depending on the time period and where you are from. I've been dancing since the early seventies and traveled all over... and every time you think you found "it"... another crew in another city brings some other element that makes you go, "Oh Yeah... that's the one!" Older people will know exactly what I'm talking about. Don't be fooled by labels.
New York was still wrapped up in Larry around that time, who was also still playing disco. In fact he wasn't really playing house until 87 as I recall... about the time the Garage ended.
Just like the old days house music is coming back with a twist I remember being in so many Dance crews back in the day !! And this is the out come of it . Proud of everyone out there keep it up and don't forget to Step !!lol
oh my gosh....ive been a househead for 16.4 years and im just now discovering house dancing.....WOW im going to try those super-sweet spin moves into my jerkin.. my gosh, this is amazing!!!
Jeez... can you imagine someone asking a pro about this? "What do you do in house?", "Whatever the fuck feels right". Hip-hop, Bollywood, tap, jazz, break dancing, Irish... anything you can name practically, it's all in here...
Tabla is the general term for drum that is used by Egyptians, Turkish, Lebanese, plus Indian people have a different type of tabla. I dance mainly to Egyptian tabla myself, tabla solo being my fav!!! :-)
From what I saw back in those days, it all depended on who you were hanging out with. Everyone was exchanging ideas and everything was evolving together, so it's really hard to pinpoint one central source of inspiration. Anyone who was underground back then listened to everything.
House is growing fast, Taiwan, Korea, Especially Japan and its HUGE in France. we have a small but strong following in San Francisco, Hawaii and Socal tear it up too.
Okay, i know Daning to house music is fun and all, especially with all the steps, but for some reason it always reminds me of Disco, maybe its the Armflailing and throwing lol
It seems to me that this kind of dance-style is very popular although I haven't seen anything like this in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands we do listen to house but it's a lot more versitile than this kind of house. However I'm certainly interested in this kind of dance style, although it doesn't require any choreagrophy... And clowning/Krumping/Breakdance does in a certain extent.
Wow i love people who know nothing about hip hop. House came before B-Boying. It did come after disco, but it got its influences from Lindy era, African, Latin, Brazilian, jazz, tap, and even modern. Capoeira is another style that House incorporated, but thats the closes it came to B-Boying. B-Boying did kinda start in the 70's, but not from house and it was really made into a dance in the 80's by the Rock Steady Crew and other OG's.
You're right, but it's not that we felt consciously that disco needed a change, it's just one of many directions it went. Even in the 80's Frankie and Ron were still playing disco... and so called "house" referred to home made tracks stripped down to minimal drum beats and bassline that local djs would ask them to debut. That part did start in Chicago.
Yup. tottal truth. thats exactly what i said. Papps was dancing HOUSE while bboying was still being born. he will be quick to tell any one of you that house is plenty much OLDER than B-boying
but dosen't matters the way like we see the house just remember the house is the feeling that u put into the music because that what the it's the feeling the soul of the dancers whot the music remember that and u can maybe just maybe enjoy the house music
in my oppinion this is not house - but anyway those guys are great dancers. whatever they are dancing, they have a great performance. and i think it doesn't matter to which kind of music someone's performing, if he or she is doing well everybody should respect that.
look at the comments you wrote on sick house dancing. took me home a little bit because you used house in the bay around 88, 89 we started evolving out of our hammer stage. going to a clu b walnut creek called lipse to battle cats fron san jose who later became housing authority. later on in the years our favorite spot became "1 up" in the city (SF)
Hee Ibu88, je weet toch in Nederland lopen ze vaak achter wat dit soort dingen betreft. Deze dans gaat ook zeker in Nederland bekend worden. En 1 van de beste housedancers ter wereld is een Nederlander. Ik ben zelf ook een housedanser en ik kan je vertellen dat er zeker wel choreografie bij komt kijken. Veel van deze danspassen horen bij housedance. Verdiep je er wat meer in en je komt veel te weten. Laterzzz
@BetterJS youtube search "house dance shuffle" and click the first result. Jardy Santiago is a good teacher. My wife and I learned it after 2 nights of practice.
try searching for the history of house dancing. or basic house stepping videos here. from what i know (but im not an expert though), try to look the movements of the feet. if you're a tap dancer, house can be very easy for you. :) hope i helped.
