Dear Hek.

First im a street dancer from South Korea, and I was one of the best 16 in the bettle competition "the Rhythm"which is pretty well known event in Korea, you can google it. I'm saying this to make sure that I don't that SUCK in dancing.

So, I guess you were not really paying attention in the beggining of the video clip? They metioned that they are using the choreography that they learned from THE very choreographer IN PERSON. So i think they are authorized enough to use that dance.

Since you were being so critical to them, let me be so. You said dancing hiphop is all about being creative. But then is being creative in hiphop all about the ability to create your own choreography??

I point the thing that there is such thing as BASIC MOVES in each ganre of dance. There is such thing as THE WAY you are SUPPOSED to express certain ganre of music.

Hiphop was first started in 70's by black and spanish people in Newyork, USA. And it was truely from the african dancing and party dancing. They would just get together in anyplace and dance. That was how they occupied their time with. And in all that, as they were dancing all together, they got influnced by each other, sometimes COPYING each others MOVEMENT also. (These informations are from the interview of E-joe and Brian green that I DID IN PERSON. I believe you've heard about the lagendary hiphop founders names.)

May be one persons favorite movement became everybody's favorite and that's how each movements evolved into each ganre. For instance, Popping was nothing but Boogaloo sam's way of dancing and people coppied it and that became a ganre. That's how hiphop has been evolving, as long as I know.

So, would you say that every popper's on the earth is not a genuine dancer? Would you say they don't know anything about hiphop??

NO.

What I'm saying is, copying MOVEMENT in dancing is not wrong. Because moves are only the TOOL of EXPRESSING MUSIC and ONESELF.

Every Poppers use basic moves or feeling of poppin, such as Boogaloo. But they've all got different feelings and ways of Boogaloo. Their own style.

Then, why do they boogaloo?? Because if you don't bogaloo, you ain't popping. Samely, house dancers all jack, becuase house dancing itself is from jacking and if you don't jack you ain't dancing house.

Then, what is being creative in dancing? It's about understanding music in your own way and feel it. And then express it in your own way and expose it for the watchers to feel it in the same way.

that was my thing.

Plus, if you've only seen this one video clip and saying "they can't do anything other than copying" then I suppose you don't really understand the concept of the LOGIC. Because those people who think logically do not judge things by seeing it's ONE side.

Hope you understand what I'm saying.

Sincerely,
:)
