Ok so as you all i know i'm from France and go there every so often but recently similarly to the Melbourne shuffle i had heard about this new dance movement that has been blowin up all over the clubs in France and slowly spreadin throughout Europe, its called Tecktonik (a slight cross between hip hop moves,glowsticking)... some people like it, some people don't, lemme know what you guys think? here's a couple of videos:

Pass.

I'm probably going to sound like I'm talking out of my ass since I'm not too familiar with dance styles, but honestly I did not see a single glowstick in any of those, so how is it a cross? Imo, glowsticking incorporates the movements with glowsticks. The movements in and of itself do not really constitute glowsticking.

After looking at those two, I see more popping, some locking and a good deal of tutting in it.

haha nice to see someone else that loves techtonic, but check the fourms next time, we already had a techtonic post

no worries though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

This Looks like some para para paradise dancing. The second video is much better than the first one. It does have some similar moves

They look like regular go go dancers in clubs.

shakes head

lol Blaze

well honestly i think there are some similiarities traces around the bodie, and when they cross their hands similarly to the figure 8 movements, and stuff like that but personally i didn't say that it was from glowsticking just repeating what people have said about it in documentaries, tv show's and such.... and i think the dance itself is ok, and ok thanks for lettin me know about the other thread guys i had no idea there was another thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I more or less just see this as an application of popping and liquid styles, rather than it's own unique style.

i think its awesome.

and it looks like fun lol.

though im not too into the electro stuff personally lol

I really enjoy watching this dance. I'm trying to learn it myself, but man it drains your energy fast.

this is the kinda dancing my ex does......
it's called gogo dancing.....

and who says styles don't come back?

it looks like pop and lock meets odd tutting with glowsticking basics.

Overall: uh, no me gusta

honestly to me it doesn't look like its own type of dance, seems like the only thing that changes to make it somewhat unique is the type of music associated with it.

looks very similar to boogaloo, even uprocking somewhat, i wouldn't consider it unique though because there are so many styles that it mimics very closely

was it created as a ploy to bring attention to that area where it was created?

from what i read its concentration isn't only on the dance, i have very mixed feelings about it.

the 2nd video is much better then the first

My opinion from actually seeing this in Europe well over a year ago well before it was even heard of in the US dance scene is that it's a mix of freehand and hardcore dancing moves.

And it takes practice too, believe that.

ah damn you beat me to posting about Tektonic! My friend was telling me about it and when I watched it I said "that isn't new!" That type of dance style has been around for years but the group, otherwise called Tektonic or the New Generation, developed some new moves and put a good spin on the dance style. I think that it's a really great style! It's kind of like popnlock meets para para paradise, hahaha

Anywho, I'll confess, I've been practicing it. I think it's fun ^^

Correct! Was it not a cloth line?

i fucking love this dance and i love this song and video

Is it me or does tecktonic look like go go dancing?

i think its freaking epic.

alot of pop lockers hate this, but its diffrent way and its very interesting.
