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.
