Hip Hop Waving Style
This is a great video because it shows a style of hip hop dance that wasn't really covered in the film we watched in class. It mostly shows waving with a bit of popping and locking as well. The influence and pieces of early hip hop dance is evident in this newer style. Waving really focuses on being able to isolate body parts and move them in a fluid-like manner. This style really amazes me because it is important to be clean so the audience can see the intricate movements. I also think it's interesting that one of these guys is able to perform half of this while on rollerskates, demonstrating great control while still being loose.

Overall, the video lacked excitement and passion. I can appreciate the body isolations but it didn't hold my attention. Dancing, like any other performing art should capture the audience.
