So I haven't seen this in years I was watching vids and spotted it in the "suggested" videos. Its crazy to see how far you and BG have come from there. I also just noticed right at he beginning I yell "hey vinh" trying to get your attention for some reason probably all drunk haha
This is an outstanding capture of how music can groove you to move!! This is much more than understanding the concepts of rhythm... You've got to feel it!
where can I find these dance competitions at? i dance to house tribal house music.. i would love to give it a shot im from stamford,ct 45 minutes from NYC
@FreestyleBoy2010 Yo i'm not sure why no one replied but NYC is the mecca for house dance. If you don't know whats up by now and still want to get involved, send me a message I'll tell you where to go.
@goekhan lol, okay, upon further review . . they were aiight . . y'know, for being from Houston an' all . . was feeling the cats on the left a bit more in this one . . .
@TheAgentOfTruth i know whatcha mean... me being from frankfurt germany i know how to dominate a beat "y'knooow" :D and the azns couldn't really handle the 3boom boom booms
I've been taking house dance lessons for the past few months and I've been addicted to it ! The modern hip hop style can sometimes be too technical, too frigid. and such a headach to dance to. House dance is pure joy and freedom.
I have seen and tried many types of dances but this unique dance right here I believe more people need to look into ! Oh and this video was phenomenal.
The times have changed. Yo, everything remains the same.History is repeated with a novel perspective.A virgin dawn approaches.Yeah and man is weary of his complex existence.Nostalgic for life in foregone days.What the fuck, It's all the same thing?The future is an allusion.The past is an illusion.But, the present is our gift.
A Cup Of Coffee by Eddie & The Eggs (aka Maurice Fulton) but for some reason i cant find it on any mp3 sites for a dj version.....can anyone point me in the right direction?
i am just starting out on the road to house as i am a bboy but mainly remembered for my dancing ( i am the black guy on ibe2008 stand up dance who danced on amarrie) this is where i first saw orb and once you house ( if u love dance ) u cant stop !!!
well,from the little i know,u have the 3 basic concepts of footwork,lofting and jacking,thats the basis for the dance..but i heard that historically house was a really open-minded culture (and thats whats beautiful about it=) ) so it accepts all kinds of moves,as long as they r on tempo..but i'm not definetelly the best person to explain u this,as my knowledge of this is still very limited.if u wanna know more check out housedancer. com,great explanation of the history there=) take care
"HOUSE DANCE" to me is influenced by the different influences included in HOUSE MUSIC. Afro, Latin, Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Funk......etc....... "its not about the MOVE, its about the GROOVE".... and thats what MOST dancers today don't have...
Well Rint18, from a oldhead, "house" is supposed to be a freestyle type of dance enviroment, where the emphasis is on the music & how it makes you move. I danced in the legendary Garage (among other places like Catacombs in Philly, Zanzibar in Newark, Clubhouse in D.C.), and there was no such thing as "househeads", or "housing", you just danced - even the bro's fron Chi-town that I knew only called it house because of the music, not the dance. Once Chi-town house music broke free...contd'
...it became a kind of commercialized, and then you had tracks that you knew you would not classify as house became house music - and to me, sadly, that's what you have today. People watched others dance, but it didn't dissolve into a contest (house contest like this video is a result of something once special becoming un-special).Please, go to the clips on Ytube of the Garage,this is grooving(same music, if not better), this turned into what you saw in this clip. It's like spring water vs. tap.
I don't understand your point of view. I enjoy practicing with people and learning from people, but part of the fun is showing other people what I can do, and what I've done with house. I show them into my house, and they show me into theirs, and who wins doesn't matter, even though a winner is declared. You can see that the exchanges between these people are always good-natured. It's during these "contests" that we let the music take over and just flow. Call it what you like - it's fun.
You can't understand my point of view because you have not experienced the so-called "house" experience as I have. Read what I wrote, "when I danced there was NO SUCH THING AS HOUSE' YOU JUST DANCED...", now if you parlay that into the above video clip you wouldn't have people sitting around watching you dance - and there damn sure wouldn't be a winner of anything. I'm sure it's fun for you, as I had fun, but the question didn't center on fun, but how "house" came to be-to me it's night and day.
what house is now isn't what it was like back in the days of the garage of the ware-house. it has evolved! if you dislike what it is now then you probably weren't dancing house in the first place! "you were just dancing"
not everyone understands house musicthats why they just stand back and watch, & the battling part of it came from hip-hop! when the dj starting cutting those break beats out of the disco tracks ha borrow that from hip-hop 'where competion thrives" & along followed the b-boy!
you see it's people like you that I think this house culture is weak. You can't put today's labels on the underground dance scene I experienced. I didn't dance "house" because house dancing as you know it did not exist!!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE OF WHAT TRUE UNDERGROUND IS...Yes, I was just dancing, but I/We danced from the soul, something you guys just don't get!!! To humor you, I've forgotten more "house" moves than you probably know!! 21yrs. later and people talk about the Garage-guess why!!!
we still dance from the soul!!! you know what whateva u probably dont even dance anymore! u cant discredit what house is now!!! come to boston where house music is still alive & well & in the underground!~~
I still dance when I find a club worthy of my presence!!! Name a club in Boston and I will come. I don't discredit it, I'm just saying its too commercial-you can't understand because you were not there in the beginning. If Afrika Bambatta told me he thinks hip hop today is commercialized I wouldn't argue. I'm no Afrika Bambatta of the house scene, but 20+ years later house is watered down. There was mystery in the way we danced, to what and why-I don't see it today. House over rap any day, but..
utopia held by dj bruno! i think they have some video on youtube search boston house music or something! & house music still has not hit the main stream... other forms of music that came from it did!!! house is still underground!
I think that's a good thing. History has shown that once an art form gets assimilated into "mainstream" or "popular culture" it becomes polluted and a caricature of its original form. Hip hop and jazz are perfect examples. Another is back in the early 90's with C&C Music Factory and Black Box, Both of these groups artist tremendous talents, whose roots were firmly planted in the underground club scene, but by the time the record companies got a hold of them, it was business as usual.
You know, I've had some time to delve deeper into house music culture, and I agree with you a little more. It is heavily commercialized. I don't know how it was in the beginning, but now, you have club owners who don't respect dance, don't have legitimate dance floors, and the culture is about alcohol and sex and money. Many days I'd rather settle for the weekly sessions I have with my friends than pay lots of money for a shitty floor and drunk people shoving me around. Continued...
As for a club worthy of you? I think what you meant was a club that suits your tastes. Because you don't mean anything to club owners. You are a number. They don't care if you can dance. "Worthy" implies that you have some power of design over the clubs, but you don't. Someday in the next few decades, house will be history. Question: Why don't you battle like these guys? Because you disagree with it? Or because they're better than you? Most of the well-known older dancers battled.
BIG props to you, Faft. I'm 23 years strong listening to house music and going on twenty years dancing to it in the Toronto underground. Your bit on house music labelling is SPOT ON. Know that you've got a kindred spirit responding here.
Your descriptions place you in a very elevated position, and not simply because where you've been and danced. Removed all of that and I can still read you as an evolved denizen of the underground, highly conscious and above all categorization. You know well.
You know what? I grew up listening to my Dad's 70's and 80's soul, funk, and disco. I danced ballet folklorico, or Mexican folk dance, for years as I grew up, and I loved dance. I got into soulful house music and broken beats, but I had no way to relate to it physically, because of the reasons you describe - street dance didn't seem human. I saw "house" dance, and I knew I had found what I needed. Many of us still stand for the same things you do, and it sucks that you misunderstand us. Peace.
If you knew Vinh or BG personally, you'd judge them differently. Please don't insult us. We don't live for these battles - we still live for music and dance, like you. Of course there are no "house" moves, but there is still real urban music by real urban people, and the music is the dance. We still stand for that. Please don't watch some commercial battles on youtube and start judging us. For every B-boy hodown there are a hundred house parties, bbq's, and sessions. Peace.
OK. I respect that, but we will never go back there. Those people and places are gone. You had the pleasure of dancing to the original house music, but people like me can only approach that. And you weren't just answering how house came to be, but insulting what it has become in the process. Did we take something from you? how is it "un-special?" I just don't know why you resent us so much. We freaking idolize old dancers like you. People like you gave us a dance that we understand.
I totally get what your saying, however, gotta make way for the young and new. I just despize dance circles at clubs, being from Chicago it takes away what was fun about house music. There were always moments that broke out into a punk slam dance but not circles all night freaking long. Boring. And so Ego based it's laughable.
ur trippin this was at no club this was at a b-boy jam aka b-boy battle called b-boy ho down and this was the finals of a setup battle. so ur trippin son
YOU'RE the one that's tripping. B-boys have nothing to do with house music -- the cultures are diametrically opposed to one another in philosophy and mindset.
House ain't about ego, which all you hip hopping invaders have brought into the scene. All your hopping and skipping is low art and very unpolished.
When you've removed all the tricks and can still be said to dance, that's when you've broken through, but it seems tricks are all kids go on these days.
ahahahahaha dude you can tell this was an event battle just by looking at the name and the info ... how did you get the idea that this was at a club ... and in the begining they were talking about who was gona go first ahaha
The circles are to give everyone a chance to show what's going with their House. I don't know what kind of circles you dance in, but the cats I dance with are mellow guys with no egos to speak of. Things are what you make of them. The circles are also to give people their space, because we don't want dance civilians getting injured due to hard grooving.
I agree with you Marina. Circles can get to be pretty wack, but club culture has also degenerated into sex and alcohol and people with no love and respect for their one and only life. No respect for music, for people, for dance. Circles can be wack, but sometimes they're echoes of that old culture. I would love if it were possible for dancers today to just feel the music and move as they see fit, but that often isn't possible with club culture how it is today.
in all due respect faft. i mos def agree with u on many aspects. but 1 thing that remains constant is change. theres really nothing we can do with what will naturally happen but i think people must really pay tribute to history, to the music, the people, and culture that was born from the underground. I am glad that we can call something "house dance" as lame as it may seem but really, theres alot of people that LOVE "house/garage/loft" music
but for me I only complain on people that love the dance over the music because without this music there is no dance, people really need to listen cuz lately i see alot of people dancin over it no in it. thats one thing that i see from alot of the older heads. they always have a real intimate relationship with music and with that I highly respect. -lare. vibe tribe
Hi faft1981, You have some very valid points. And I can relate to everything that you've stated so far. But you have to remember one thing that the internet does allow everyone to research learn about the history of the underground scene. I'm an anomaly a black that can't dance. But I used to love partying at those same clubs that you mentioned. But the atmosphere is what I loved and the spirit that the music created. I probably was one of the people watching you dance. It's all about fun times
"HOUSE DANCE" to me is influenced by the different influences included in HOUSE MUSIC. Afro, Latin, Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Funk......etc....... "its not about the MOVE, its about the GROOVE".... and thats what MOST dancers today don't have...
yo it took me a while to find it, i still dont have it haha. ive got it qued up on soulseek so whenever the user signs on i got that shit. the other songs on the album sounded dope as fuck too. message me with your contact and i can hit u up when i get it. PEACE

No respect for music, for people, for dance. Circles can be wack, but sometimes they're echoes of that old culture. I would love if it were possible for dancers today to just feel the music and move as they see fit, but that often isn't possible with club culture how it is today.

in all due respect faft. i mos def agree with u on many aspects. but 1 thing that remains constant is change. theres really nothing we can do with what will naturally happen but i think people must really pay tribute to history, to the music, the people, and culture that was born from the underground. I am glad that we can call something "house dance" as lame as it may seem but really, theres alot of people that LOVE "house/garage/loft" music

but for me I only complain on people that love the dance over the music because without this music there is no dance, people really need to listen cuz lately i see alot of people dancin over it no in it. thats one thing that i see from alot of the older heads. they always have a real intimate relationship with music and with that I highly respect. -lare. vibe tribe

Hi faft1981, You have some very valid points. And I can relate to everything that you've stated so far. But you have to remember one thing that the internet does allow everyone to research learn about the history of the underground scene. I'm an anomaly a black that can't dance. But I used to love partying at those same clubs that you mentioned. But the atmosphere is what I loved and the spirit that the music created. I probably was one of the people watching you dance. It's all about fun times

"HOUSE DANCE" to me is influenced by the different influences included in HOUSE MUSIC. Afro, Latin, Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Funk......etc....... "its not about the MOVE, its about the GROOVE".... and thats what MOST dancers today don't have...
peace & FREEDOM.
