    Kids don't know how to dance to rock 'n' roll...
    Compare 3:16 with Max and Annie's second solo in ULHS07Fast.

    So reading Stearns alerted me to the existence of what they used to call a Sand Dance.

    This one's kinda weird, frankly:

    And yes, you can watch it... you just have to go to the page. It doesn't work as embedded.

    Sharon is my new idol. Love her dancing!!!

    This next movie I quite enjoyed. I can't figure out where it was performed though.

    She kicked some trash in showdown '06, too, as I recall.

    Can't figure out where? Do you mean more specifically than "Herrang"?

    Ah yes. Er, I see now it was in Herrang. I guessed that much, but I didn't see any confirmation til now.

    when mikey and nina come back out and bust a swingout or two (after 10 straight swingouts the time before) ... i love the random voice in the crowd: "are they going to keep on doing it?"

    Awesome!

    Obviously not the only roots of breakdance, but the Hopak did have a wave of popularity in, like, the twenties or something. So the influence isn't just a coincidence, it's actually there.
