Occupation Liquid Dancer

David "Elsewhere" Bernal (born August 2, 1979) is an illusionary dancer from Santa Ana, California. His mother is Peruvian, and his father from New Mexico[1]. He became known through a viral video clip —often titled Kolla2001— of his participation in the 2001 edition of the Korean American talent show Kollaboration, dancing to Kraftwerk's song Expo 2000.[2]

The clip showcased Bernal's characteristic take on the contemporary dance styles of popping[citation needed] and abstract waving. Performances of these dances were rare at the time, and the clip became very popular when it circulated on the internet — so popular that in November 2006, The Viral Factory, a viral marketing company, collated page-impression figures from websites such as YouTube and Google Videos. They determined that, as of November 2006, this video had been viewed over 200 million times, making it the 8th most viewed video.[3]

David is not double jointed, a popular misconception. He says: "Im not double-jointed at all. The only place where I am double-jointed is my thumbs, which doesnt even matter. I would say Im probably a little more flexible than most...

This is absolutely inspirational. For one, David's dancing is the most expressive solo art form I have ever experienced. And when combined with appropriate visual FX and a clever concept, the end product is intensely moving. This is creative video production at it's best.

@kitekido So glad you enjoyed it also. David is an astonishing performer, and the editing is seamless. Love it!! So glad y'all enjoy the man, too. The music behind is Mint Royale. Thanks for your comments and visit!

@hellasexy22 No offense, but did you just find out that the advertising business is about stealing and selling? Gene Kelly was a very talented and often very difficult to work with...I think Gene would LOVE any new style of dance, especially a video so seamless. He loved innovation and I disagree with your assessment that nothing should ever be remixed or sampled. Gene would've taken the opportunity to see if he could conquer it when in that shape; he liked money too, ya know! I love the film!
