Hip Hop Meets Swing

[Orangebike666]

They can crash my wedding.

[cursedbat]

Famous where? Its just like the salsa scene, famous to a small group of people that like swing. Same thing with most of these pocket interests and the people involved think its way bigger than it is. Prince is famous. Obama is famous. This is cool in a loose goofy way no doubt and entertaining. But theres no real hip hop here which as a style doesnt really exist. There is no style called hip hop its an umbrella term. And this aint it. Just keep it real.

[Fergsonfire]

This is amazing! You guys are awesome

[darryltheglen]

LOVE IT

[MrUnidyne]

I believe they're Tommy Blacharz & Max Pitruzella.

[BSUSwing]

@MrUnidyne Yes! They are very famous!

Max Pitruzella dances with Annie Tredeu. If you just search Max and Annie they have a ton of vidoes.

[BSUSwing]

Who are these dancers?

[MrUnidyne]

@BSUSwing Seriously, who ARE these guys and do they know they're famous?

[soberloki]

So very, very awesome. I love the relaxed look of the pair and how much fun they appear to be having. I watch this video when I need a pick-me-up, and I hope more dudes will be inspired to dance and be joyful like this.

[baconandeggs80]

Don't EVER take this down. Still my favorite after all these years!!!!

[xixiou22]

Je vous AdOre!!! <3<3<3 ;-)

[MonicaReally]

haha, stumble I love you

[CheekyJawn]

This is the most thug shit I have ever seen!

[dbarron604]

Kids these days!

[lwrjam]

Great act, fantastic dancing, really enjoyable. Shame about all the uncontrollable laughter! Kinda degrades the earnestness and sincerity of the performers!

[ShortyGeorgette]

@lwrjam What you probably don't know, is that these guys, Max & Thomas, are actually doing a persiflation of a really well known dance routine by Keving & Carla, back then. It is extremely funny, and there's no doubt about their intent.

[BuhBuhRoccoli]

don't see any hip hop in this...

[JazzyBeester]

AMEN! I would almost kill to dance with this blend of athleticism, joy, humor, grace, etc etc. Totally breathtaking and inspiring.

[GreasyBastardo69]

Aggh I love this so much!!!!

[mrsmjackson1]

I love how loose they are.

[acrafel]

Siempre me alegran el día. Cojonudos!!!!

[barriehomeboy]

So is gay marriage any more frightening? Live and let live.

[BragneaxStarlight]

This made my day. Awesome!

[LyssaLeilani]

Awesomely done! Keep it up guys, great video. :)

[markevens]

D: wow.... brilliant, Absofuckinglutely brilliant!!! Why this doesn't have views in the millions is beyond me. 

[grigdesign]

AWESOME!!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!1

[ValMRogers]

Loved it! More!

[Shedorable]

Blah, blah, blah, blaaaaaaaaah. These guys are phenomenal on so many levels - it doesn't matter if they're doing the Lindy Hop, Hip Hop, the Bunny Hop, Hop On Pop or the mating dance of the rare albino kangaroo. This video is a happy confluence of skill, raw talent, fabulous humor and two men with the courage to do a couple's dance, in all joy and innocence, in a country where men in physical contact for more than three seconds is considered "gay". I loved watching this ode to joy! Encore!!

[epyx88]

@Shedorable Totally agree! Well said.

[anduarto]

@Shedorable I agree with everything you say but who cares if they're gay or not?

[EV4RY]

Great fusion of dance styles well delivered, nice one!

[cahubble05]

They should audition for Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance". Nigel has a reputation as being slightly homophobic, BUT ... they did pass a male-male couple into the Las Vegas round a season or so ago. This blending of styles is something that the judges on SYTYCD really value.

[eboneym]

This is just amazing. Great foot work guys.

[irkedbutgood]

To the dude he says there isn't Hip Hop in here, he's generally right, but this IS swing dancing. Hip Hop dancing as he thinks it exists today existed a long time ago. Look up: Earl "Snake Hips" Tucker. and also look up the video that's called. 1920's to 1940's Breakdancing Origins etc.

[irkedbutgood]

@irkedbutgood

Also Look up the other Al Minns and Leon James clip called.

Original UpRock!

[JediJen7]

Fantastic! I loved it!

Great job, guys!

[L33Tspartan]

this video reaffirmed my faith in humanity

[TustiFaith]

Fantastic!

[HooliganSamantha]

lmao!!! AWESOME!!! this made my day!! LOL was smiling the entire time!!!

[ichfilmfrau]

really great - would work on ice guys, try it!

[SenorSol]

Absolutely excellent. These guys are just great!

[Raso80]

One of the guys, the leader, is Max Pitruzzella, check his dances with Annie Trudau, they are among the most amazing Lindy Hop dancers on earth...

[MegaDeejay16]

stumble = great thigs

[SidianSaDiablo]

@MegaDeejay16 You too?! Thank god for Stumble :)

[urethaneunicorn]

This is awful, this is neither swing nor hip hop, it's just a couple of drunk idiots swinging each other around. Seriously, how in the hell could you even think this is remotely hip hop dancing?

[irkedbutgood]

@urethaneunicorn They obviously have some breaking experience and throw maybe three moves total between the two of them for the whole dance, the rest is Lindy Hop, which is the original Swing Dance. And if you were actually a dancer yourself, you'ld know that what they were doing is nearly impossible to do while drunk. educate yo self. Look Up Whiteys Lindy Hoppers on here.

[Jenga650]

very west coast

[MsAlexandriaDoreen]

I LOVE YOU, STUMBLE

[xlillla3e14]

I love them! It's fantastic!

[mabauman]

Fantastic dancing and done with a great sense of who they are! You guys rocked!!!

[brooklynsweb]

Craziness! =))

[hot24seven101]

I love it! It's hot haha. Gotta respect a man who can dance well and have fun :)

[hot24seven101]

I love it! It's hot haha. Gotta respect a man can dance well and have fun :)

[ebunzz]

This is the most feel good thing I've ever seen. How brilliant to spare these guys up! Sooooooo well done.

Guy in grey shirt at 2:35-2:38 is everything about watching people dance. Subtle moves...big effect. Big smiles!!!! :D :D :D :D

[sobralfan1]

@ebunzz ...Tommy Blacharz is a boss!

[ericcorbin1]

Amazing ... simply amazing... the guys with MAD SKILLZ

[aaron8925]

The only people calling these guys gay are (I'm 99& sure) males from the ages of 13-18. They also fit the characteristic of being oh-so-jealous.

[scottpwns0122]

They aren't gay I assure you, and if they were why does it matter? Anyways it must have taken a lot of hours of practice to perfect this.

[sobekofSteel]

Brilliant with a total sense of humor.

[powermezzo]

Mmmmmmm... nothing hotter than a guy who can "swing both ways." :-P

[lillemor1980]

Its really a shame that ppl cant give a hug or shoulderclap without some paranoid idiot screaming "THEY ARE GAY".

When i saw these two gentlemen i saw two good friends, that have: talent, humor and proberly a LOT of phonenumbers after preforming this ;P

I didnt see any "gay" :) So to you paranoid people out there: chill ;)

All the best to these two boys, hope thair talent wont go to waist :)

[snowdancer]

WOW! I just shared this on my FB page. Thank you!!!! This brightens my day a hundred-fold! I'm a dancer and can appreciate what went into this and how good these guys are. Very creative blend of styles!

[DHeatherC]

Brilliant! Very watchable...over and over again!

[dmlc2012]

Man. All the cool kids know Lindy. I really gotta learn me some Lindy, East Coast is getting boring...

Props to these dudes, you rock!

[dmlc2012]

Man. All the cool kids know Lindy. I really gotta learn me some Lindy, East Coast is getting boring...

Props to these dudes, you rock!

[TiagoTiagoT]

They should go on America's Got Talent or somthing like that.

ps: who cares if they knock their rocks off with members of the same gender or not

[DanzingKat05]

This is like the best thing ever! Love it!!

[fireworld05]

It's not GAY, it's awesome!! Playa haters need to grow up and appreciate good music and dancing.

[greedlusthate]

@fireworld05 How cares if it's GAY, their hot and dance amazingly? I hope they are GAY.

[runemima]

for goodness' sake, get us their names!!!

[AvrilLavignesDad]

@runemima It's Max Pitruzzella and Thomas 'Tommy' Blacharz. There's hundreds of clips of them on YouTube. Two of my favourite dancers. They've both partnered Alice Mei, another world class dancer. All three come from Montpelier in France (there must be something in the tap water there!). Tommy and Alice are great teachers and very friendly too.

[fourtwentty420]

These guys rock!

[hmohar]

this lit up my day!

[didderjade]

I'm still laughing in disbelief and admiration. How awesome is this? So awesome. Major, MAJOR props.

[lantanada]

Who are these guys? Friggin' love them!

[chriswhyteindia80]

I love it! I love it! I love it!

[plugnchug]

they're really amazing but there was nothing hip hop about it except for their clothes 

[jbahome]

What's hip-hop about it, the backwards hats?

[BuffustheSlayer]

WOW!! Awesome!!

[Muktilou]

You guys are great!!!!

I thought Ellen DeGeneres would probably love seeing this video and I emailed the link to her.  Why not!

All the best and more to you all

[CNCPhotography]

get on americas got talent now!

[Divinedancedivas]

wow wow wow wow!!!! fabulous!! this is coolness personified!!!!

[wtbsleep101]

hahahaha, thanks for letting me watch talent and have a good laugh :D

[wearwithattitude]

Incredible. These two guys knocked my socks off and made me smile from ear to ear. What amazing grace and talent!!

[Q8Greek]

OMG!!!! they're amazing :O

i couldn't stop smiling to the end of it....

love it love it love it...... <3

[Pinefinch]

Yay!!

[75rafis]

КРУТО!

[thezob101]

lololololol

[Lexie527]

This is phenomenal and so very, very awesome. Amazing job. I'd love to learn this.

[1discoqueen]

I woke up feeling a little depressed, but after going over to U Tube, this just came up! It made so Happy to see someone having just dancing and having such Fun! I Love it! My mood change immediately for Good! Thanks again, Great Job!

[GMNightmare0]

There is absolutely 0% hip-hop to this dance. Welcome to the world of Lindy hop... started over 5 decades before the rubbish garbage called hip-hop.

Their footwork is a little sloppy, but it is definitely entertaining.

[CMPr0ductions]

@GMNightmare0 hater

[sobralfan1]

FANTABULOUS!

[sobralfan1]

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!

[daveola]

Really great. I love the surprise "Kill The Lady" catch at 1:53. Who are the dancers?

[sennenko]

1:23-1:27 is pretty much the best thing ever.

[Flaminglez]

Other than the dress style, there was no hiphop in this, it was all swing, baybee!

[missheath000]

this is the coolest thing ive seen in a long time!

[MagnificentF]

This is AMAZING. The day I meet a guy that can dance like that is the day he has one hot date on his hands. hahaha! ^_^

[jhazif]

hahah u guys made my day :D!<3

[HimeBerrii]

black people influence everything!!!

[detroit1958]

I love you I love you I love you! This is sooooo great!

[Fira21]

Ohmigosh! This is absolutely fantastic! It's always fun to watch people do the swing but I've noticed that in hiphop the people don't seem to have knees, just jelly legs so it's amazing to watch swing moves just go so fluidly.

This is awesome! The fact that it's two guys as well just makes my day. It's nice to know that there are guys out there who aren't afraid to dance something other than regular hiphop. Makes me happy. :D

[unblessedlemon]

This is so unbelievably fabulous. The fact that it's two guys only made it more hilarious and great. How often do you see a couple really talented guys with the skill AND humor to put together something like this?? The music was perfect for the choreography and I loved it to bits. Absolutely sharing this with all my girls. XD

[turgsh01]

Holy shiiiiiit.... the only thing that could possibly make this look more cool is to do it with a female partner instead... but even then... This has to be the hardest routine to learn. I've been learning the combination of Lindy Hop, East Coast swing and Charleston for a lil over 3 years now and I don't compare to this at all, not even a tiny bit.

I'm so saving this vid in my favs and gonna try to pick up on a few moves from here. Rated 5 stars for sure, thanks for posting this vid.

[Yesaira01]

Wow! You're amazing! Very entertaining :)

[toukkatwo]

awesome!!

[philhilliard]

absolutely brilliant. wish i could dance last that. could watch that for hours. post more. someone tell me if there's more of them or that on you tube,. cheers.

[lillemor1980]

That is SO funny! 5 stars.. 10 * if i could :D

[redskinsfootball1]

Well done, the best Dance performance on YouTube

[lmkart]

LoL, nice....

[biznizboy]

well done lads that was cool n the gang!!...

[heather4him]

I love to watch two guys lindy hopping together...so smooth and yet so amazingly infused with energy!

[h1ydrippa]

very well choreographed and entertaining!

[alenushka81]

awesome!

[joninho22]

its not really hip hop at all. thats just how max is...

[lordofleas]

That was AWESOME!

[viapisistrato]

best dance performance EVER. i HAVE BEEN PLAYING AND RE-PLAYING THIS VIDEO FOR 1 HOUR. PLEASE TELL ME WHO THIS PEOPLE ARE, WHO SENT POSTED THE VIDEO, WHERE CAN I SEE MORE?

Majla from italy

[andthisisalltrue]

Just another admiration comment. You are amazing! Keep dancing like that, it's inspiring.

;)

[gone1313]

completely and totally amazing - the movements were so fluid - made the steps look so easy - yet to be that much in sync took an amazing amount of control and strength - Wow!

[knsdesigner]

Amazing stuff - some of the coolest Lindy Hop I've seen - the mix with Hip Hop is incredible! So smooth and they're floating over the floor!

[cinderella46]

wicked guys .. just cant get enough of ya !  who are they n whats the tune ... hey where did they dance ?... please :O)

[swingstylez]

Sammy Davis Jnr. - Love me or Leave Me. The one in the cap is Max Pitruzzella. I think this was filmed at Barswingona (Barcelona Swing Camp) around 2003 or 2004. I believe the routine is a parody of a performance by an original by Kevin St. Laurent and Carla Heiney.. I prefer this version :)

[prettyprettyplease]

More lindyhop videos, fuckers

[Tuppington]

the best parts where when they moved their legg side to side at the same time. that was funny.

[911calldapopo]

WHOO THA WAS AWSOME!

[Topinambur27]

[karaterobot]

DAMN!!!! Fucking amazing stuff, I want to see more!

Wow! I can tell they have lots of respect for both hip hop and swing styles. Is there any more video footage of them?

[sarahnden]
