I recently saw a video of a new dance style, sort of a 'street dance' style, like break dancing, but much more 'fluid'.
Does anyone know the name of it? I'm trying to find it again, and can't; it had a particular name, and I'm not sure if the link I saw showed up here on FR, or somewhere else.
Thanks!
Musking.
No. But thanks anyway.
Locking?
Found a website.
Shuffledance?
I’m not sure that’s it. This was mostly really complex and fast but very fluid moves, with the legs; not so much with the upper body.
Sometimes the dancer even looks like they’re tilting so much they’re going to tip over, due to the leg movement.
“Shuffledance?”
That is what I was thinking too. One of my Granddaughters does it. Now there is a “cupid shuffledance”.
” This was mostly really complex and fast but very fluid moves, with the legs; not so much with the upper body.”
Sure sounds like Shuffledancing.

Are you talking about something like this?

That is MUCH more like it; but still not quite. What I saw was still more complex and fluid; maybe it was just a better dancer than this example of Shuffledance:

Fascinating. Couldn’t have done even at the right age.
Possibly dancing to Big Balls — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WwJ6OVSwkM
post above me sounds more right..
No, I think posts 5 and 8 are what I’m looking for; I just thought it had a different name.
Thanks to all who responded.
Yes, I think that must be it.
Lol, Yeah my Granddaughter tried to teach me. I couldn’t do it. Takes too much “spring” in the step... :)
Since we’re on the subject, does anyone remember the Carolina Shag? I think these two were and remain the masters:

Thank you for asking about it. I have been fascinated with it since my Granddaughter showed me. Almost like dancing a modern Irish jig. :)
Here is one with even better dancers dancing to Elvis... :)

Whatever you call it they are very good at it and having a ball while doing it.😊👍
Nice to see folks having fun.
