Today's featured dance is stripper dance, a subset of krumping. This excerpt comes from David LaChappelle's Rize which showcases some mind-blowing dancing.

It's somewhat surprising to see guys willing to shake their asses like that.

that was cool! I actually saw some krumping in person this weekend, but i don't fancy it too much.

actually, one of the dudes that invented krumping, tommy the clown (who i think is in rize), was in waterloo in the fall term for the hip-hop competition.

I still prefer Lord Vader's RIZE

a thought on the final statement in this cut...

The parents' problem probably isn't really with the 5-year-old dancing alone...it's the thought of their daughter as an older dancer who will probably start attracting "jump-ins" who want to dance with them in an agressive way.

I only dream of being as uninhibited a dancer as that little girl!

I think her name is Li'l Mama. I should look her up. She's pretty awesome for any age.

Agreed.

speaking as a dad...

...whose daughter (16) does dance like this, and has since 8th grade...

I just remember that every generation thinks the next one is "obscene", and can justify it...and each new generation finds a way to express themselves. One must be careful, after all, as sex can lead to dancing...er...something like that.

I loved RIZE, especially the little disclaimer at the beginning that no digital effects or speeding-up were used--they really moved that fast.

Well, I'm not a parent, but I'm not fond of men I don't know (and usually don't care to know) coming up behind me on the dance floor and hitting (or grinding on) my ass with their crotch.

I loved RIZE too, I watched it in the theater, and on DVD. And I'm considering adding it to my collection when funds permit.
