I actually was responsible for putting footworking intouch with a professor at Yale to get your scene documented and put in the history books. When I first discovered your brilliant style on YouTube, the very first thing I did was send my upmost respect to you all. There is no denying, it is very similar to our scene here. Your originals agree with me
@FootworkingzTV Spinn and Neema did an interview with Snowboy for Shook magazine in the fall last year. It spanned 3 pages. It will have been documented by professor Robert Farris Thompson at Yale.
So your dance has been represented, even if you personally were not contacted. I have a copy of the magazine at home. I can scan and email you the interview, if you want.
this is going to sell hard if they can put enough urban scenery i mean north west south and east sides all around not just west and south side namean , u can even throw in a little downtown action uptown , near west Humboldt park
@elmaazaw Thanks man. Its been out since last Oct. those trailers are from last year, but yeah......concentration on south & west because that is the majority of crews. We appreciate the insight.
@cybernetics I believe Boodilla meant, its new to the world, as in our Chicago style.
It is very clear that footwork in general can go as far back as Africa and Native American Tribes, tap, jazz footwork, etc. Maybe Boodilla should have said, "Chicago's style of footwork is new to the rest of the world because it is finally being exposed via youtube and "Take Flight" DVD."
But we appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
For the record Chicago footworkin isn't new, it's been around for 20 plus years. And how dare you compare that bullshit you guys do in the UK to this Chicago shit we do over here. BTW the floor technicans.suck Dick horribly,they are complete garbage.
@Amagieke - maybe im a lil late with this, but im gonna say it anyway .... dont get nobody to show you how to do it. Just watch it, and do your own thing with it. This way you are an innovator not a follower. This way you are a Footworker, not a Chicago Footworker (no disrespect Chicago :o) .... good luck (and you may wanna check this THE FLOOR TECHNICIANS for footwork
Sorry guys it ISNT new - UK Jazzdance was around some 30 years ago - check out The Floor Technicians.
Oh yeah before I forget - some Chicago footworkers were supposed to come over to the UK this month and dance off against the Floor Technicians - they came over but never turned up?
@MrToosox For the Record, if the comment is not coming from FootworKINGzTV, I don't know who its coming from. I don't know what Chicago footworkers were suppose to come over, but it was not FWKz. We aint never scared, we welcome competition, exchange, whateva.....WE love this shit. We have competed at Madame Jojo's, at Juste Debout 2009, 2010, House DAnce International NYC, don't matter. WE represent our city just like yall rep yall city.
respect to all dancers with that fire. WE will get up
@FootworkingzTV nice one - cheers for the reply, hey I'm stimulating conversation that's all, me I'd love to come over and just dance - I love to dance, period. Comment not aimed at you guys, actually I forgot I'd put the comment on! No offence - keep up the good work Mr T
@MrToosox The Brit stuff is similar but really just a less elegant and technical derivative of Tap. But Footworking is very new and very different from Tap, mainly because of the music. But it's not like these Chi-town kids saw the British pseudo-tap and said, "Yeah, let's do that." You should know Americans don't do that- we CREATE.
@MrToosox The Brit stuff is similar but really just a less elegant and technical derivative of Tap. But Footworking is very new and very different from Tap, mainly because of the music. But it's not like these Chi-town kids saw the British pseudo-tap and said, "Yeah, let's do that." You should know Americans don't do that- we CREATE. It's always funny to me when a Brit tries to pull that. lol That was a cute little moment though, dancing to be-bop. Clever.
@cavaleer I think its very similar too, but what moves you guys to the music will be different to what makes a jazza move. Have to say though that a fusion dancer takes steps from funk, soul and disco - which are almost identical to footworking - take a look at IDJ, they are fusion through and through - fusion has its own style. When you see these guys dance you'll see how close the styles are, search IDJ & fusion jazz dance - you might like it. We like your style :o)
@cavaleer I think you'll find you're on your own on this one Cavaleer.
Uk jazz fusion dance has nothing and no relation to tap dance. If you see that, then good for you .... but you are wrong. Uk jazz fusion style grew from London kids just dancing to jazz music. They hadn't seen tap dancers, they didn't have MTV or vcr's to record and study and thieve steps from other dancers .... THEY CREATED THIS BACK WAY BEFORE YOU WE EVEN IN YOUR DADDYS NUT SACK
@jazzdance There's no way you hear jazz and haven't heard of or seen Tap. Tap permeates the culture to the point that even THESE KIDS know what it is even if they haven't seen it.
And if you call pointing out the truth disrespectful, you can get it all day.
@jazzdance And I'm not saying those London kids sat around studying Fred Astaire or the Nicholas Brothers but when you watch the moves, esp. the floor technicians or whatever you called them, it's clear that it's an unintended Tap off-shoot. The main difference is that Be-Bop is faster than Big Band and Swing which were the formats for the birth of Tap. The similarity with Tap probably comes from the simple fact that Be-Bop is a Swing derivative and will be danced to a certain # of ways.
@cavaleer . Floor tech videos do not show jazz fusion original style. JAzz fusion style is very similar to footworking. Floor tech are being paid to dance this way to entertain. Floor tech on a dance floor is another story, they are raw and dangerous. They don't play.
but what the heck, let's not get heated about this, I'm to old for it. peace
thats wussup this shit on point slim. im from dc we beat our feet 2 our gogo music we get a lil crazi too but yall shit str8 on point moe. but i deff fuck wit dat chicago shyt though yall good teach these dc and maryland yungins them moves joe.
They are so cool, they came to preform live at my school in ogden! at mound fort jr high.i got there atoghraphs and pictures taken with them.they said that they tour with the most famous celeb stars and dancers like chris brown,ciara,missy eliot and madona exc. they are so fast the way they move i cant believe it. you just gotta see them live and meet them like i did. King Charles said that he got inspired by Michael jackson and also the rest of the crew. ilove them!
I'm from Cali - and i HATE that shit out here - Jerkin'. I just saw this Chicago Footworkin - damn, now thats whats up. Props to all you Chicago cats. Come to Cali and show us your moves.
@laurenscui I'm also from Cali and I'm teaching myself footwork and I'm also an aspiring producer making juke tracks n more trying to get a scene started in my area nobody knows what's up here shit needs to get real here in Cali

footworkin is da shyt but its not wat they make it out 2 be...actually its like a thing that gets away from fights...but u do have people that are very serious about beatin somebody else
yall killed that shit charles fucked it up with that move yall should put it in tha movies like that movie rise man if yall need somebody to help promote it i got yall
man i watch dis shyt errday gotta get mo views for dis video its goin be critical if dis show at da movies n chicago im out ya boi SL33PY cuz I'm snoozin on yall
