Kenichi Ebina: Hip-hop dance and a little magic

[crudhousefull]

Dude's probably really poor. TED guys are really nice too. What incredible people

[duperman999]

@crudhousefull actually.. this dude literally just won a 100 grand at a performance competition.. so i think we can assume he's doing alright

[orel2064]

[claudees]

[ganasai]

[MyamotoMu5ashi]

[MrMimaliciousDelic]

[sharpiehustlerxoxo]

I just saw Kenichi in Atlantic City! x)

[JCYK90]

I've always planned to combine D-Lites with dance for some fancy fun in the clubs. Kenichi just brought to life my plan, which I thought was original.

[makeet79]

[wolves167]

[kanliner01]

dudes got mad skillz!!!

[lilrip133]

dude really is an artist. he takes a simple dance performance and turns it into an experience.

[hydroflamer]

Wow! Is this guy human?

[WiriyakS]

i have always LOVED the TEDtalk intro.. makes you feel like youre involved in a really awesome secret..

[goatism]

this guy isn't bad but they certainly could've gotten a better dancer/performer. most all the things he did were mediocre, especially the photon led raver tricks(that most ravers have seen 1000+ times). this is the first un-interesting tedtalks i've seen :(

[PurpleW4lk3r]

Oh wow. You guys need to stop critisizing his "robot dance" because in reality it is not a "robot dance." He's actually combining many different types of dance styles into one cheoreography. DANCE in general is something that requires as much brain power as academic works. Dance takes creativity. Why dont all of you guys critisizing this guy's dancing show me that you can do better? Take it from a dancer, dance is not something that can be learned overnight, it takes patience, like academic work

[aznpyrogirl]

eh...i've seen soooo much better! and you're slow!!!

[wednesdayx33]

yo thats my dance teacher

[corcoprhat]

is this foreal?? OMG! that's COOL!!!

[vicky010]

lol dude tryna bang on us cause he or she from neighborhood crips lol jp,but this guy is real cool,i wish i could do that

[FhionaNYC]

look for "liquid dance". There's way better than this guy out there...

[pomic69]

Liquid Dance!? This dude ain't just no dancer. He's beyond that shit...he's an artist.

[NoemieArmstrong]

Nice use of costume, and the light play was cute. The title threw me off -- this is a real stage dance thing, not just "hip hop" like you'd see in the neighborhood. And the car ad at the end... sell outs.

[MissXaverie]

TED is sponsored by BMW, who continually promote creative thinking as a company.

[apexdna]

What neighborhood ?! Are you by any chance white ?! You shouldn't be watching videos such as these in the first place ... open-minded creative audience ONLY !!!

[stegs21]

TED talks (technology entertainment and design) are sponsored by BMW, doubt the dancer had a say in the matter...i think its great that there is a space where the general public can view cutting edge ideas in these fields......at what point does someone sell out?......everyone has a price.

[spacemonkeywdtsf]

talk is cheap, post your own thing if you must. but criticism in text only shows your typing skills...

[CosmoHunter24]

lol! Well said.

[Nin1Nin1]

LOL OMG y r yall getting at one another like that the only thing that counts is dude Serving the audience lol thats whats awsome that dude got skillz dude

[bluefont]

It's "dumber" not "dummer". But if you're missing some IQ points, it's always easier to blame someone else isn't it!

[unclesallty]

A massive waste of time... must have been a lunch break show.

[johnny51johnny]

Exactly. If I was there I would've pulled out my nunchuka and attacked his shins.

[africaincorp]

That was pretty good, as far as I ma concern, none of you gentlemen can do what it did, and I wonder if any of you can actually dance.

[johnny51johnny]

Good or not (and it wasn't), one question is who'd want to? Dumb people always say, "well, you couldn't do it!" Sir, there are many things I can't do, or care to ever do. Anther question... Does this merit being on TED? Do you know what the tickets cost to attend? I'd be pissed! Heck, I'm mad for the audience.

[bluefont]

The ladies must find you an exciting date! LOL! Or maybe you're only into hot scientists with beards who can split an atom. Maybe you haven't been with a lady yet. It certainly explains why you're so upset. LOL. Ah, you need a hug - come here big fella...

[bugstrut]

"Retro"? Poppin' may have started in the 70s, then gone out of fashion in the 80s, but it came back into fashion amongst young people in the late 90s. Maybe you're too old to know that. People need to stop associating the dance with that creep Michael Jackson. The dance was around way before he started doing it. Oh, and he didn't invent the backslide (or "moonwalk", as most people wrongly call it).

[CosmoHunter24]

LOL!

"The dance was around way before he started doing it."

True. He just made it "mainstream".

[JamesSchultz9]

He's amazing..../

[muchachaverdeygris]

ok one question remains, how was this a talk?

[thevigiles]

TED (Technology Entertainment Design)

Judging by the title, I'd say this falls under entertainment.

[daniel246]

hes a new advance robot from japan.

[johnny51johnny]

I'd want my TED ticket money back after that.

[dirtydecade]

so would i, michael jackson rigged the place!!!

[sl33p1e]

I think TED's not trying to show how good the performer is, they're trying to promote the guy's unique idea of dancing.

I thought it was interesting. Of course, like everyone else, "I have seen better," but I really like this performer's style also. It was enjoying to watch. :)

[moonhoolie]

I recall a time at primary school when they brought in at negligible expense`entertainment' for our edification.

Mime was as wrong then as it is wrong now.

I wonder if they lynched him...

[keemoleemo]

I've seen worst on Ted. Mabe he should let us screen these people. I can find more interesting people just on my block!

[hannaremnant]

Umm..he's not that good IMO. From 1 to 10, 10 being the best, he's a 5. I've seen really, and I mean really good Chinese performers.

[berryfreshman]

why was he at TED?

[setatakahashi]

He was for Entertainment (T.E.D.) :D

[HadeanAgent]

Err....

this guy's pretty good but certainly not the best I've seen (not by a long shot). I'd like to know why he was chosen.

[FrenchConcrete]

Who is better? Give us a link or search word, please.

[seanankerr]

Three words pal: Dave "Motherfucking" Elsewhere!

[reivilo]

hmmmmm...
