Solidanse Paris 09 battle sample_0002.wmv

France meets the UK Underground Jazz, Jazz Rock Meets Jazz Fusion... Frances 'Pass Pass' meets UKs Jazz Fusion Allstars. In a head to head demo... Just clear up the difference. Both sides did a demo show piece then a 'friendly' battle... I had fun anyway!

This is only a snippet but feel free to comment. The younger people in France seem to know a bit about their jazz dance scene in France. Put your hand up if you knew about the Jazz Fusion and Bebop scene in the UK (That's been here since the early 70s)????

There's another one coming of the UK demo. That's not a battle and the French are not it... It's encouragement. The young over here need to see and appreciate what their people are doing/have created. We respect that your young are getting educated about your style. So give room. NUFF RESPEC' BREDRIN. lol!!! Bless & Peace.

The UK got love for the Paris Jazz Rock dancers. You showed much respect. This video was put up to encourage some of the British public in the strength of their style... People say what they say. But I'm letting you know why that edit is there. I don't mind the whole clip going up, but I do think it is bit lengthy... To be honest I don't mind a bit of tension, it keeps things alive but I'm just being truthful, in the first instance about the reasons for this clip.

There's more footage to come folks. Just waiting on a delivery. But keep posting it to others. I'm on a campaign to 'Bring Fusion and Bebop Back to the Future!!' I'm not joking either. You join in or fill in the blank... Bless and don't stress.

Hi just read the comments seems to be an argument about the battle! lol The vid is around 3 min (it's quiet long) and in a battle, dancers should give all they got, right? so I think that UK killed it anyway (we see 3 french dancers in the vid). Respect to both part but it's good to be honest sometimes and to say "you win"... IT's a Battle! only one winner!!! (et je suis française :)

[milkiway91]

woooow!!!! UK killed it!!!! I love housedance, and now I want to learn jazz rock !!! Thanks for posting this vid and go on sharing ur art with the world, just amazing!!!

I think it is a good thing that people are dancing together, and it would be good if both parties just showed the whole thing.
