Bust a Moov

Respect to all the dancers out there... B-Boys/Girls, battle dancers, stage dancers, cdm's, or anyone that just likes to bust a move... If dance is your thang u might want to checkout the battles tomorrow at Dino Beach

Back in the day (and I mean waaaay back) there was a few different TV shows that brought a bit of the style and sound of disco, funk, r&b whatevah... out of the clubs and into the living rooms for all to watch.

Shows like Soul Train with host Don Cornelius brought the music to the masses by featuring current stars and (usually lip-synched) performances. A key element of Soul Train, however, was The Line -- a gauntlet of sorts that was formed by 2 rows of people on the dancefloor allowing anyone to walk the line: dance down the middle, It was part fashion show and part dance routine... This vidcap is great because Don Cornelius himself describes The Line, take a look...

The Line

More Line

Even More Line



Not at all competitive, but a show nonetheless.

OK, more Solid Gold from the vaults. Solid Gold was another Dance Music TV show of the disco era and it featured again performances by the stars and some especially nice Solid Gold Dancers who would do routines while the announcer would count down the Top 10 hits of the week. This all predated MTV keep things in a bit of perspective! Funny thing about Solid Gold was it took its countdown from I dunno, radio airplay charts or Billboard maybe? But some of the songs of that time were not exactly dance songs, like REO Speedwagon? hahhah Anyways, it's all just a bit of flavor.

Solid Gold

Fame - People remember my name



There were other very big TV shows as well, like American Bandstand with Dick Clark, AT10, Americas Top 10 with Casey Casem, James Brown even had a show Future Shock... But to me, none were so successful in capturing the feeling or vibe of a club and re-producing it on TV than Soul Train, especially during The Line segment.

We bringing it all back YO its 2007. OK, here is footage from last years Soul Train Battle of the Year in Zurich. Again, respect to all the dancers in the Battles at Dino Beach on Friday... Looking forward to see where you're all gonna take it!

The New Line

Here's a recent interpretation of the line by Wharton University Dancers...

B-Boys Week in Shanghai
Written by plui   
Monday, 30 July 2007
Some time around May it became clear to me that this summer was going to be incredible... The schedule was getting laid out for a whole bunch of different events and activities that comprised and combined different styles of music, entertainment, pop, rock, funk, hip hop... you name it, it was all in there.

Well, here we are in the middle of what's got to be the hottest summer in some years, and those events that looked good on paper back in May are all taking shape now, and this week is probably one of my own personal ya-must-see-must-do kind of weeks... It's like B-Boy Week in Shanghai...



B-Boys they're an essential element of hip hop... Breakdancers, grafitti artists, basically any of the fellas that filled out your crew along with DJs and MCs. You didn't have to be the guy, you could simply add to the vibe by feeling it and being there.

The landscape here in China, 2007 isn't really anything like New York back in the day when hip hop was taking shape, and there are all sorts of other elements that make Chinese hip hop unique. The core elements are all still there though, respect, cameraderie -- the feeling you get from being part of a crew, yep, it's all there. This week theres 16 crews headed to Shanghai and they converge on bonbon and Dino Beach for what may be China's first national Breakdance Battle. There's a preview at bonbon on Thursday night, the actual full day of battle dance at Dino Beach on Friday, and a wrap-up after party again at bonbon on Saturday.

Here's some video examples.... some back-in-the-day stuff, as well as some current and new directions. Hope it adds a bit of context to the whole week of events.

Well, ok, this is actually Neneh Cherry, and its Pop - Buffalo Stance.... But she was tough and pulled off b-boy even better than the b-boys themselves Hahaha!

video Oldskool

Ok, here we go with the break dance... this some oldskool styles, a battle, or what we call PK here....

video the new

Seems to have taken more hardcore athletecism and gymnastics, but still breakdance. Still awesome...


YouGotServed

Battle scene from the movie.... Lil Fizz is here in Shanghai too .. check it..

Choir??!?!

OK< This is some kinda new style... its not even break dance, its a crew for the 21st century... These guys are choir as in choral group singing... 2 examples: UC Berkeley DeCadence doing an interpretation of an oldskool video game... and , and other crew "Artists in Resonance" with britneys "Toxic" dig.
