not trying to sound racial or anything, but was that a old white man jookin?

[EVACProductions]

if you are talking about at 1:18 in the trailer that's a mask on Rico...lol... it's a persona.."Shoesocky" or however you spell it

[oinkLovr]

To me this dance style goes way back, but it also has aspects of it that isn't originated in Memphis. This dance looks like what I see done by pop and locking dancers. The similarities between the two art forms are almost mirror images.

[EVACProductions]

Yeah there are elements of pop locking and other styles incorporated in the dance, but the way that the style as a whole is done is uniquely Memphian. Its evolved a lot over the years and still is.
