Hilty and Bosch are two lockers from Japan. They demonstrate amazing precision and articulation in their movement, particularly in the speed and rhythm of their gestures. I am always fascinated by how hip-hop culture (in this case locking--though I'm sure they do other kinds of hip-hop dance) has been transfered and translated to the international scene. What is it about hip-hop (dance and music) that is so appealing, attractive, and relatable across cultures and peoples?
