NY Post on Bone Flexin, Hip-hop and Lindy Hop Dance (video)

Posted on April 23, 2011 by


 

Interesting, if convoluted, video story from the New York Post about a "bone flexing" battle in New York.  The reporter connects this newest street / vernacular dance form with older hip-hop styles like breaking and tutting, and even with lindy hop. 

I know it's an old story from 2009, but I liked the connections between different kinds of "battles" and "cyphers" in dance communities.

Hat tip to The Riz for the link!
