yes Tulsa lol I'm 40 and Been soul dancing since I was 17 I'm from the Boston area use to go to this club called the loft in back bay after hours club insane vibe insane djs insane dancing so yes I know about what you mean when you say about the foundation cause we all have it the beat the 4/4 to the floor gives you that foundation but after that it's all vibe it's all live and love!!
+Justin Maryland That's a result of the younger generation taking classes these days and not experiencing the club scene like back in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. NYC club scene to be exact.
Tulsa I took up jazz and in my early days I understand you're point though it's very true it seems like they all mirror eachother no originality anymore I miss the early 90s to the late 90s but as we keep it thoroughbred house dancing will never die!!
Justin Maryland Phew! I was hoping you'd be old enough to understand. LOL I concur. It amazes me how they all dance similar. Dance classes should at the least provide a foundation and the basics to work with. From there on, personality should be reflected through the dance, which would make the dancer differ from the rest. I really appreciate the younger generation for partaking in the culture, but like you said, they need to love the music. The music should control the dancer.
Lol yes I'm old enough to understand 40 to be exact and been dancing for 23 years I'm glad ecstatic to see the younger generation keep the vibe going but they have to step it up considerably! I mean I was browsing house dancing on here and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw tutorials on how to dance house no-one taught me how to dance house I learned by trial and error I learned by the vibe I learned by just being Me that's what should be taught that you can't teach soul either you got it or you don't!! SD sounds mean but I keep it a hunred
Justin Maryland Okay, I'm 37. LOL I started clubbing around 92-93 with fake ID and all. I knew a lot of older friends that danced and had access to studios to practice, but their purpose of practicing was to battle in hip-hop and house club ciphers. Knife sharpens knife was the motto. For me, it started with learning Salsa from my mother and God-mother, then when I was introduced to House by friends, I watched them and other people dance, I learned the number one rule of feeling the music, because it wasn't rap, and going to the clubs and applying what I knew when on the dance floor. It wasn't until I got older, I learned how our bodies resonated musical energy. Having soul (literally) makes all the difference. In the early 2000's I hardly saw any house dance videos online, but around 2005-07, competition videos from overseas started popping up and then a few years later, tutorials and classes left and right. I shook my head, because many of the younger dancers are not getting the fulfillment of feeling the music when at a venue as opposed to feeling it in a studio with a teacher and other students. I'm curious, does this generation take classes to learn and enter competitions or are they actually putting in the work and killing it at a venue? It seems popular online, but the culture seems to be non-existent outside the internet. There's still quite a few events and clubs for dancers and listeners in NYC, but on average, I usually see heads that are around our age and older. Where are all these young people at? The two female dancers mirror Cebo Carr's style of footwork to the T. I've only seen one girl ever dance like him and that's Linda from MAWU and they are close friends. Footwork and Lofting is rare to see among younger dancers. Many of them only know Jacking, because most instructors only teach that style.
The year was 1983 -85 This was the norm on every friday night street corner WBMX / HOTMIX 5 In Chicago !
First song is Maikäferbenzin by Die Vögel
