The moves are free but fit the beats very well.

 

Dancing is an important aspect of the hip-hop culture. Before hip-hop was popular in Japan, there was soul dancing, which provided a foundation for Japanese acceptance of street dance culture.A big break through time for the dance scene in Japan was after the movies "Flashdance," "Wild Style", and "Beat Street". This was only the beginning of the dance explosion in Japan.
The New York hip hop scene also had a large impact on the dance influence in Japan. Lalah Hathaway"s "Baby Don"t Cry" music video had a large impact on dancers in Japan and started to mold the style into something closer to the NY sophisticated dance style.This attracted many Japanese people to NY to see this style of dancing for themselves. In addition in 1992 the form of street dancing known as "house" emerged from the influence of music videos as well. It took very well to the culture in Japan and is now well known. Wood discusses in his writing "Yellow Negro" the influence that race plays on the club scene and the type of dancing and music played in Japan depends on the racial composition of its guests.The club scene is a very important scene for the Japanese people to be able to express hip hop in a visual way that stretches across all barriers regardless of language.

Recommend:

• Dancing is moving your body to the music…… This is real dancing – When your body facilitates the instrumental notes and beats through your body…. The music is there for a reason, and these guys rip it…

• A fine example of bboying as an expression of the music. bboy is as dancers and not just practitioners of rhythmic gymnastics.

• This style of dancing is called FOOTWORK and it started in CHICAGO 20 years ago.

• The move at 04:20 is just perfect!!!

Self expression is one of the most important things in bboying. B-boying is like poetry in motion. But this video? just shows that Kazu is like the Shakespeare of bboying. (Abel2waa)
