B-boy Cloud rocks the cleaning chores (video)

Posted on June 2, 2010 by

This dope video directed and starring b-boy Daniel "Cloud" Campos shows that you can do EVERYTHING musically, even clean your apartment.  Reminds me of the only decent scene in "Breaking" where Turbo (i.e. Michael 'Boogaloo Shrimp' Chambers) dances with the broom.  I didn't think my boy-crush on Cloud could get any deeper, but it just…

Posted on May 31, 2010 by

The World of Dance showcase on Saturday featured lots of amazing performances on stage at Brooklyn Tech High School in Fort Greene.  Still you can only watch so much choreographed routines.
