The only way I know how to dance House...along with Lofting (Loft legend and icon, Conrad). I went through an entire calisthenics workout with this deep track on loop, dancing between sets.
Though I grew up in the Jacking (Hip Hop dance meets House
dance) era of House dancing, I gravitated towards the traditional styles of Footwork
and Lofting. My love for both forms was largely due to how appealing and showy they
appeared to me. Furthermore, both techniques bestowed dancers full command of the entire
dance floor as opposed to Jacking’s more concentrated upper body movements and stationary manner. Also, Jacking was so common back in the late 80’s-early 90’s that it discouraged
me from following the norm.
You’ll find today that in the underground House community, to be specific, new generation dancers take a fancy to Jacking
quite frequently. I consider both Footwork and Lofting to be rare and exceptional forms of House
dance in today’s era of House dancing and when done...all eyes on you.
I'm unfamiliar with the young gentleman in the video, but the older chap is veteran dancer from Detroit, Gehrik Mohr also known as Poseidon (Cymatic Soles).
"Let me see, your footwork, baby. Drive me crazy, don't stop, baby."
You made my day, Theo. Thanks!
