Its starting to come to korea. I wanted to ask TL.net what you think of this. I think the dance is really awesome. I know it started in europe but is it famous there?

I would really like to learn it. Anyone know any good videos that could teach me?

Anyways Here is one video of TEKTONIC~

http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=VqRR10Xy3GU

Also people who want to learn tektonik. Can watch these videos. I thought these were the best.

Seems like you just flail your arms randomly to the beat? Good music though.

Colony by In Flames came at almost exactly the same time that I pushed play. It was fucking surreal how well the video matched up with the first 2:40 of the song.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

Many people know this song over here (last couple of months), but tektonik as a dance style doesn't really catch on. Can't really say the tight pants and rainbow sneakers appeal too much either, but i think the dancing looks awesome. It's hard tho, gave it a go myself but just feels stupid^^.

Oh, and don't check out the original for that song, it's horrible:

This dance style seems pretty cool, I enjoyed watching the videos alot. Unfortunately as I was watching I couldn't help but to think that this was the same style as from the movie Napolean Dynamite.

I'm specifically talking about this video below.



The whole time I was watching I was just imaging Napolean going through all these moves rofl. Anyway there are so many good styles of dancing now a days, which is nice cause I can't stand the ones that are created by stupid rappers today. sigh.

It was seen here as the next big thing in dancestyle, but it never really got through. To be honest I think it looks rather gay so I'm pretty glad it didnt got to big. The music is awesome though, really like it.

Here is some tutorial btw

you dance with your feet. if your feet barely move it's not a dance. oh, and it looks stupid.

Dance is the movement of the body, usually to some sort of rhythm. It doesn't have to be with your feet (Have you seen the belly dance), just because you disliked the dance doesn't mean you have to dismiss it as stupid. To be honest, I find your 1 liner to be stupid.


Also, I'm not a fan of this type of dance, I'm much more traditional (I prefer dancing with women :p)

That doesn't even seem like dancing to me. Doesn't even look cool, or anything.

Nothing beats this clip when it comes to dance and weird, I found it highly amusing and more scared of the red army O_O


Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984

Hmm I thought this was going to be a thread for a laugh, but it seems people are really into this so. let them be.

I don't think I'll be doing this anywhere soon or ever, it's not my kind of thing~.

That kind of hand/arm moving is..weird.

im sitting here trying to give it a chance too.. the girl in the last video? Perhaps cute.. but we wouldnt know.. nope. SHe does a generic arm dance that displays NOTHING in terms of sexiness or something.. garbage dance. Honestly.

Yeah, I've never heard of tektonik before and I think it looks totally rubbish. The leg movement looks like some nerd who just stands in the corner cause he can't dance. And the arm movement is a direct copy of Napoleon Dynamite! :D

Jumpstyle/Melbourne Shuffle are fun/awesome respectively though!

Ceril's clip is just what happens when guys do ballet... Something that god didn't foresee. Some insane break moves in there too. Actually they even had this gather-in-a-circle-and-let-one-guy-dance-in-the-middle figured out already. 1980s b-boys must have stolen their ideas from the cossacks!

Borat Jumpstyle
