Swing Dancers vs. Street Dancers

August 2, 2017 3:20 PM

Vintage and Modern Street Dancers battle it out to their own and each others' music, creating an awesome mix of styles. Part One has the first dances from each group, Part Two has the finale and -- starting at 7:00 -- the crossover section. Vintage street dancers represented vernacular jazz dances like 20s Charleston, the Lindy Hop, St Louis Shag, Tap, Balboa, Solo Jazz and Airsteps, and Modern Street Dancers represent locking, popping, waacking, break, krump, house and hip hop.

St Louis Shag both describes the furnishing in my childhood home and what I most strove for (unsuccessfully) throughout high school. #theLou
