  • @kylekinetix "get out of the 80's realm" ? would be the same as ignoring 70's Chicago movement and its great artists. Kerri Chandler, Lil Louie Vega, Doc Martin, Gene Farris, Sneak, Terry Lee Brwon Jr, Tod Terry, Blaze and so on... Just keep your shit to yourself cuz every fkn amateur u tell me there are two house kings to slap 'em in the face. Geez how old r u 12? Fkn mofo kid.

  • sorry guetta kids... THIS is house music at its best!

  • Heard on this vid:

    Fluid X- Change

    Jerome Sydenham & Kerry Chandler - Rising the Sun

    DJ Rasoul Feat, Shannan - Let Me Love you (Until the Morning Light)

  • Circle Jerks!

  • type in check your body at the door, it's an amazing house dance documentary that just came out

  • What is the track at 1:44 - 3:32? very nice.

  • Track ID on the last song? My two cents, living in NYC, I see these dudes on a regular basis, I thank them for their contribution and for inspiring me to be passionate about the dance, the culture, the music.

  • So does your body have to be completely made of fast twitch muscles to do these dances or what...

    I mean the stamina required to do this stuff must be epic...

  • im silky smooth too if i got 3 beans in my systym...lol

  • @georgejbetz u dont need dem beans man...let the music be ur drug.

  • house is a feelin ,now stfu and dance...lol

  • i just want to get up and dance every time i watch this video

  • The track at 6:26 is DJ Rasoul - In the morning

  • dude in the afro hands down ,the best dancer to me.much props to u my brotha,house is a feeling!!!

  • Wow... What memories and the comments on this post are spot on... House will never die, you just have to know where to find it... If anyone knows of any spots in Orlando, FL please post....

  • it's amazing how things evolve over time. when house dancing began back in the late '80s and early '90's, no one incorporated breakdancing moves or even tap dancing into it, at least not as much as see now. nice to see and know that the culture never died, but I couldn't nor ever did moves back in the day like these dudes do. then again, we never had the room, it was always too crowded.

  • So many people commenting are referring to these guys like they young. If you do some research on the names of people who are affiliated with the house dance project or know how to tell the people who are dancing, you will learn that several of these guys are in their 40s just like those of you commenting. Age is just a number and these guys have been in the scene notably longer than any other dancers that you see videos of. Creators or not, these guys continue to promote it year after year.

  • I give mad props to these dancers on this video. These dancers are what we considered back in the day as "Loft Down" .Hit the Deck" MoFokers. We wore baggy pants, forget the shirt and either chinese slippers or wrestling boots. Oh and don't forget the baby powder. Who knows what I'm talking about?

  • No these guys are great but they are not the originators. I know there is much controversy on the subject but the real originators are in their 50's. Like myself. I was a dancer a the Loft and the Paradise Garage way back in the late 70's and 80's. This is where the controversial term "House" is hotly debated. We were dancing this way while most of the nation thought that John Travolta and "Saturday Night Fever" were the ultimate thing in dance.they were late. We were the underground,

  • @pluggedin2u - This is what i'm trying to tell people:  Im' 53, and while so many of these guys were just born or simply youngsters, I (and others like yourself) were kickin it at NYC clubs; Garage, Loft, LaBamba, Leviticus, Pegasus, Starship.... etc. etc. and I'm STILL breakin it down... poppin, lockin, housedancin and breakin.

  • @pluggedin2u You are right, I was there at the Loft and Paradise. Archie and the guys, back in the day... Spreading that powder now...

  • @MrGumbedamit  YOU KNOW! :)

  • Such a neglected culture!!!

  • i lived in a small small city. white.

    you cannot imagine how huge the smile on my face was when i was in line to see some house and all the people there were black. i figured i had to be at the wrong place... not about to get schooled in what i erroneously thought was a white genre.

  • if you know anything of house music -n- the groove you would know that these guys are getting the fcuk down-its all footwork

  • This is one of the best house dancing videos but i wish it was more dark with the right club lighting thats what made it incredible !!!

  • house=sex,passion,memories..he­at sweat....soul, emotions ,loose control...true colors, urself,MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST U A LIFETIME...HOUSE 4 EVER ....

  • Track list PLEASE!

  • I have danced in the best of the best house parties the loft, garage, ozone layer just to name a few. And house music will never die, iam 47 years old and i can still do the dame thing. Because house music dancing is in your bones its in your feet it is a feeling, with grace mixed with tap, jazz, kunf-fu, gymnastic, and any other dance you can name. I was dancing house music in the 80"s it was alot of fun. For you young dudes keep house music fun, feed off of each other energy.

  • @1043mommy tell them like it is ....!!!

  • @1043mommy - Im 53 and I still get down, from my days in the Garage, Loft, Ones, Gothams, Rooftop, Funhouse, Downunder, Lazaros (wallstreet area)... so thats wassup! lol I know you get down too, you gots to! and let me NOT forget Bentleys. word up! peace out, Tony

  • man!!...i party with these guys every week!!...ejoe, caleaf, conrad....i think the guy in the red is shan s?..but dang, now i know why they keep hounding us young folks..i'm 21 so i barely got a piece of the underground....but they're always on me telling me to keep it alive..this video just re-inspired me!!

  • man!!...i party with these guys every week!!...ejoe, caleaf, conrad....i think the guy in the red is shan s?..but dang, now i know why they keep hounding us young folks..i'm 21 so i barely got a piece of the underground....but they're always on me telling me to keep it alive..this video just re-inspired me!!

  • i LIIIIVE for this sh*t....yesssss

  • Thank you for posting these fly guys with seriously smooth moves & dope tracks!

  • May you please inner-stand that this is the REAL underground house dancing. Pure spiritual FREESTYLE. When the music takes control of you and gives birth to a style that you feel. NOT that I took class on how to dance, not to say there's something wrong with that. But know that true house dancing is Highly Spiritual. So for the new heads, know it's spiritual; let the muse use you to express it self. Feel the vibrations' become one with the sounds. Dance with the GODS, and let your soul be free!

  • it's such a pleasure to watch these guys dance...

  • i miss those days .....we had fun back then..

  • Last track is DJ Rasoul "Let Me Love" <--- One of my favorites.

  • Nice to see so many smooth moving men on the dance floor not battling it out!

  • @MissMondayLoves I agree with you 100%! I'm a House dancer from Toronto, Canada, and I live down in LA now. I totally see the difference. Whenever my Toronto fam and I form a circle, we're just sharing, laughing, having fun, enjoying each other's energy. Here in LA, for the most part, these dancers seem to always have something to prove. They're always trying to "battle", and "show everyone who the illest dancer is". It's asinine, and it's not what House is about.

  • unbelievable....house was the transition from African to B-Boying to Capoeria fusing these elements in with your soul these vibes made you soar when you was in tune with that frequency

  • Anyone know the name to the last song?

  • RIP. Soundfactory basement nights with Cleveland. Some of the best dancers rocked that basement.

  • does anyone know the last song?

  • Dj Rasoul "i want to love you" on Large Records

    /watch?v=8Pikbaz9KOs

  • If I'm not mistaken, 1:23 looks like Caleaf Sellars?

  • @Mo0m0oSaZn yup thats caleaf..

  • @Mo0m0oSaZn I thought the same thing. Doesn't look like Ejo tho.

  • @Mo0m0oSaZn Dancers in the circle that I can identfy, Caleaf, Shan S, Link, Ejoe and TenOfQuad

  • beautifully remastered...thank you.

  • I bet these guys could rip up the dance floor to some pete rock instrumentals.

  • sorry i only know the first 2 tracks:

    fluid x - change

    kerri chandler - rising the sun

  • amazing video. could somebody please tell me who are the artists of the selection?

  • amazing video. can somebody tell me who are the artists of the music selection?

  • i hope this culture remains long enough, deep enough and true enough for me to pass it to my son and daughter...i remember watching these cats get down..i would snatch a step or two then go back to long island and practice it till it evolved within myself..i owe much of myself to the sound, and consider passing it to my kids a must! keep the funk alive.

  • haha b....you were good until you said long island.....i hear you though....them catz are good....

  • ahh..ive lived in so many places..and know this for sure..it has nothing to do with where you are from..its where you are at that ultimately counts the most. house heads of the world unite! may the funk be with you.

  • come on ming...stop biting the R with that line....true about house heads and the love....

  • it wasnt a bite...it was to remind you that long island produces plenty of goodness...and you caught right on. by the way..i use this vid when i make a mix..i play it over these dudes rockin out...if it goes well, then i know i made a fresh one.

  • just messing around b...I know long island...one of my favorite duos is EPMD....catz don't get much better than that....

  • this is what a housing circle is all about.. gettin down to the f*ckin music.. nowadays i see a housing circle and these prima donna b-boys and b-girls just try and show each other up, getting in eachothers face and all that wack sh*t... housing circles are about the MUSIC and how you express yourself to the crowd.. NOT about who's the better dancer.. sorry I went on a rant but I'm just about to lose my mind if another kid interrupts what I'm doing and want to battle me.. RESPECT

  • blame it on the korean bboys....

  • @mikechorizo Dude, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I'm a house dancer from Toronto, Canada, and I live down in LA now... I see this shit all the time. I mean, when my Toronto fam and I dance in a circle (which never really forms, because we hate circles), we're STILL supporting and loving each other, enjoying each other's energy, sharing and partying. Most of these "dancers" in LA, though... it's like they have something to prove. It's ridiculous. But I don't even bother with them. LOL :o)

  • @JPBrown365 yesss TORONTO!!! big ups

  • omg...this is my life waiting to get into the clubs.....Oh yea remember the Wild Pitch parties ....Caleaf ,flex and Henry ,Stretch ,Ejoe yesss lets get a reunion

  • you know, i wouldn't call these guys THE originators, because if you watch enough documentaries or talk with any of them, they'll admit that they were introduced to house culture by somebody who was around before them. I would say that these people helped put structure to house dance, and to help spread it to locations where it didn't exist before. These are the conduits, the messengers of house.

    In any case, tight footage. Thanks for posting it.

  • yeah, you're right. I've talked to a few of them, and that's pretty much what they said. however, I would say that even though these guys didn't create house dancing (not even mentioning the music), their styles represent most of what we consider house to be at present.

  • they were some of the first to put things together in a way that we could look at today and recognize as house, in my opinion. not just jacking chicago style, disco, latin or any particular bent one way or another, but a real mixed dance with some of its own original steps too (and a bunch of the dances in this video are original, I would say).

  • you're right. moves like loose legs (2:08) don't really have analogs in any other styles (like, for instance, farmers coming almost directly from West African), but are unique house developments due to the influence of numerous styles and the work of one or a few dancers, in this case Caleaf. Man, I love this thing we do.

  • @firstnamenavarre

    Agreed ,,,the originator of house dancing was the person who brought it out to the scene..Brian "Foot work" Green!

  • @ssn1per bs Ejoe and Caleef are the men, Brian to me sucks compared to them. 

  • @Lesserevill EJOE IS VERY NICE SHAN S IS THE BEST AND CALEEF JUST KINDA JUMPS AROUND HE'S NOT FLUID ENOUGH BUT SHAN S ALL DAY HE IS THE CAT IN THE RED SHIRT THAT DANCES SILKY SMOOVE

  • ejoe is best at lofting, shan s is best with fluidity, but caleaf is best with the footwork. they just got different styles.

    ejoe > all overall tho imo.

  • @seungyup NAW BRA  CALEAF BEST FOOTWORK .....NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!

  • @7thvenom ...It's obvious that you're not a DANCER... Caleef style is sick and for him to be so talk he dances with grace, Shan S style is sick as well but, what you don't take into consideration is that these dude are in their late 30's and early 40's and still competitive on the dance floor. Ejoe's style is crazy sick as well...! Ezra EL I'm one of Jersey's Finest!

  • @TheFazor1 Sorry Bro but i am a OLD HOUSE-HEAD i'm in my mid 30's as well i been dancing house since 85 been producing house music since 88.... Did not mean to upset u or diss anyone his style is just not to my taste !! One

  • @7thvenom - Not tryna hate on anybody, because it's all dance, but its a little strange to hear guys classify themselves as "oldschool" when they are 30-40 years old. When you guys were JUST BORN I was hittin the clubs in NYC - Gothams, Ipanema, Roseland, LaBamba, Copacabana, Starship. I'm sorry, but i'm 53 and I still GetIt and rip up a cipher, with House, Hustle, Poppin AND mfkn Lockin.

  • @avp0713 I can feel u on that, i'm 39 and when i say old school it's when i'm talking to 20 year olds that think they know house music or dance !! And just so u know my first 8 track was jackson 5 destiny !!! nothing but respect for my elders,you went to spots i wish i could have went. peace Fam

  • @TheFazor1 - Oldschool is truly a relative term. When y'all 30-40 year olds were still babies, me and my crews and homeboys were killin the NYC dance clubs, killin ciphers with House dancing, Hustle, Breakin, Poppin AND mfkin Lockin. I'm not hatin, i'm just trying to lend a little perspective to the discussion. I'm 53 and was hangin in LaBamba, Starship, Bonds, Pegasus, Ipanema, and Roseland... so yeah, Old School goes back like an 8-track

  • @ssn1per NOPE 1000000 % WRONG

  • @firstnamenavarre Beautiful stuff! We danced like this 20 years ago! Places like Traxx in DC and the Vault and the Fifth Column and the Paradox and countless other clubs in NYC, Baltimore, DC, Philly. It's nice to see the scene continue on! I probably danced in the same circles with these guys parents! Once a house-head, always a house head!

  • House dancing at its finest. So smoothe...

  • fuck all the bullshit dont entertain the talk....

    for all real house heads...

    what is Ejoe saying when cebo jumps in...

    i've always wondered?!?!?

    anyone?!?!?

  • an artform of motion. I like that natural flow. beautiful. thank you for this vid...

  • quit hating. house is about unity. spread the love!

  • thats right !!

  • icy cold you racist fucking gook asians did not star breakdancing or housedancing or anything hip hop you rice eating bastard so go fuck yourself with that go asian shit. You're not better than anybody you asshole!

  • wtf is this ! lol but dude your other vid is awsome love it go asains!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I think you mean go asIAns. Lmao, and what does it matter if people are asian or not? Respect people for who they are. If everyone was stripped of their color of skin or appearance how would you define them then? You wouldn't, you would give praise and respect to those that correlate with your ideals and to those that interest you, but because you see an appearance that isn't similar to yours you outcast the idea without even allowing yourself to explore it? That's called racism, shame on you.

  • screw racism, long live freedom for evreyone

  • whats the last song called???

  • Thats real talk. Reppin the Chi is all the cred you need its in your blood. What I remember the most from my house days was it wasn't necessary to be as talented as these cats but as long as you danced with the same conviction people didn't care. To all the house/techno heads come to the D (Detroit) Memorial Day weekend for the Electronic Music Festival.

    Afrika Bambaataa is performing among a host of others. How ya love dat!

  • These fellas are doin the damn thing but I'd like to give you a little history on this house thing. I'm from Detroit and we were housin it up back in the early eighties and even before that in Chi-town. I'm not a hater though, its great to see you young brothers keep it alive because this is the true form. I mean dancing to dance music, high energy shit.

    I can still dance my ass off to it and I'm 40 years old. Peace to the new age househeads great video!

  • haha, yeah, I'm from chi-town myself actually, and proud to represent as best I can. what I meant was that I thought modern-day house dancing (footwork, lofting, etc.) was born more on the NY scene than in Chicago or Detroit. could be wrong, of course. always proud to claim the music and JACK as Chicago's very own, though!

    much respect to all you heads who got this thing started, Chicago, Detroit, NY, NJ, and all the rest! peace!!

  • @space2think actually your right. Footwork and the intricate styling was born and bred in nyc...!

  • These guys are around your age and some older...

  • thanx
