This is what I aspire to in my dancing.
Outside of the move at 3:37, everything in this video is something you could conceivably learn in a beginners’ breaking class. These guys are doing simple, basic steps, but the execution is just sublime. Their grace and fluency of movements, the tempo changes, the cadences — I love it all.
Now admittedly this is a choreographed routine, but the best breakers can achieve similar interplay with the music when they’re dancing in an impromptu situation. Peep this battle between Machine and Ata (which I cannot believe I haven’t posted before) for a supreme example.
