| Video Description Video from a recent Japan trip; these guys were part of an after comp guest performance set. This group put on a whole "Popping Pirates" Opera. Comedy + popping, with outfits and tons of solos. Totally unique and unlike anything I've ever seen in US. Talked to a lot of guys at the comp and other clubs regarding the differences between the USA styles and the Japanese evolved versions; they understood the "point" of dancing in the US, but in Japan going to a hip hop club was more like watching TV than any sort of battling. Want to dance? Bring your own music and perform your set. Like a vaudeville show. Part of the reason for this was over there you could either dance like nobody's business or couldn't pull off a 1,2 step to save their lives. Therefore a club is less group participation by a group of moderately skilled dancers with the occasional showstopper (US style), rather a group of people who love the art watching the few who dancers who have obsessed enough to master it. Very entertaining, very different, very technically accomplished. |
