[@raveoncloud9]

that's what I love about house music and dancers, they always give each other credit where its due. They give props and encourages each other. Love it

[@LtJager]

I can feel those tunes on my bones baby

[@LONE-SOUL]

im in love. i wanna see more of katya. she killed it ! best house dancer in the entire competition

[@hamurabi1971]

damn! this reminded me about the early 90s when I used to throw down on the dance floor...HOUSE ever!!

[@riverthinman4782]

house is more than dance, its something deep in emotions and feelings, so what I mean a person can dance well but not to really feel what is doing, much of them are hip hop dancers and breakdancers, and mabe a little bit salsa :)

[@sugashack74]

+Emi Unique And the women were bringing the emotion into it. These judges were biased.

[@n0thing533]

Exactly. Too many house dance teachers that aren’t really dancing house

[@djnyce72]

I think some of the ladies got robbed for real!!

[@mattylga01]

katya took him to school. she had better spins and danced more graceful. judges got this one completely wrong

[@seonethree]

Nah, Frankie hands down- the best in that battle. He's a Legends, his moves were like the traditional art moves of house dancing.

[@laruspener3409]

Evolved906 no way. Never

[@arturolagos29]

I don't know what the judges were watching but Sonia, the chick with the black sweatpants, won that battle easily and was probably the best dancer of the competition.

[@ravenxing]

Agreed!! HEY

[@JaneDoe-uy4oy]

Arturo Lagos no way. She didn't show any house rhythm or style. Too hip hop. She's a good dancer, but stick to the hip hop stuff.

[@gcqueno2317]

I agree. She was my favorite.

[@EndlzWaltz]

Malcom is so freakin sick !

[@Arkeyys]

The only person that really stood out for me was Sonia... she was different to the others in a good way.

[@martinesejour3361]

All night, every day on Friday nights, that's how we were. That's how it was done son.

[@TribalKatz]

As a longtime bboying fan, I've come to appreciate house dancing for it's ability to maintain the DANCE aspect (which bboying has all but forgotten). Housing was never meant to be a performance for you to just watch, it's rooted in participation. You wouldn't go to a house club and just watch other dancers, you would join them. I can see how that would make house battles unlikeable, because that tradition is destroyed. Even so, it's still fun to see these cats go at it--at least for me.

[@sweetcherrysurprise]

watching this and listening brings sooo many amazing memories and tingles and chills!!! i jus love this! xoxoxo thank you dj sneak for sharing!!!xoxoxo

[@villeg52]

I feel house is all about the footwork rhythm and flowing with the music. some of these dancers def do that welll....

[@rellaist]

i am feelin the vibe with this music i wish i was there

[@ohmyggg]

Agreed. I thought Katya had that one. The chest bump at 8:06 was awesome as was the kick at 8:19. So much attitude.

[@JaneDoe-uy4oy]

Simos Xenakis good but he won. She kept spinning clockwise. Got annoying. It's not a ballroom dance.

[@TheRealPDizzle]

It's because she was hitting on time. Actually the only fucking dancer in this entire video doing this. Which is why she's the only one looking good out there.

[@Lithuania12345]

You have to like that music a lot. I think I could sit all day listening to house music and watching people dancing, but it'd be exhausting.

[@jaywills8199]

Lol these judges are on something different...Katya and Sonia shut it down, how did they lose?

[@enkimerlin3209]

they didn't put out maybe? They owned it

[@TheCheaney]

Chicago is where House Music originated. Chicago is in America. Therefore American's invented house music. Or so I always thought. If not, please explain?

[@kellyweeks5851]

This is nice. Thank you for posting!

[@VARUNCOUTINHO]

6:43 Awesome Track! Name?

[@sugashack74]

These judges were biased. The 9:00 dance off the girl obviously won.

[@choreograffiti1]

+Fortyfoteen yeah they were both killing it... My personal fav the girl tho. So funky and fluid

[@TaiDavis]

Chicago here. Fuck yeah

[@MrFiF]

The track at 17:00 is Da Capo - Something in mind

[@ajbaby93]

Sonia brings all the funk. That.is.all.

[@TribalKatz]

I'll never understand these crowds, man. How can you sit so still listening to house music?

[@brianthomaston]

Big ups to the ladies in this vid, Sick moves!

[@ThiagoDVaz]

To all my House Headz, and future lovers of smooth house music and dance, and of course lovers of the community as well. Share the love, share the music, share the dance, share yourself for a while, and see what you'll be capable of.

[@handsomecolby2988]

Katya was sick, hit me up!

[@Skyjuice70]

Aleysia !!! Wow...too cool

[@reneehowell2465]

OMG! FOES IT STILL EXISTS ? IF SO GIVE US THE 421!

[@nesNYC]

NICE!

[@w4r7]

The gals deserve the W.

[@ThiagoDVaz]

let's take some classes, learn and teach each other to go beyond ourselves and be with each other through the struggles, pains or challenges, be your brother's keeper, watch and care for each other's soul and heart. And always come from an open heart, ready to vibe, the good vibes from the true Spirit. Keep on loving one another Forever.

[@creov8]

PLAYLIST PLEEEASEEE........

[@metheores]

I don't think bboys have forgotten about dancing. If anything it's the people who don't treat it as a dance that are falling off. I think everyone in the scene is trying to be more musically sound. It's part of the evolution process of the dance.Also love house dancing, my tops have improved and feel more loose after I started messing around with it. On a final thought, no video can ever justify the hypeness of a battle (even if the crowd is dead) is deff something you gotta be there to witness

[@MrFiF]

Track at 10:00 is Sebastian Leger - Super Drums

[@horaciomachuca8426]

[@stevekeenan9673]

Both of these guys look like break dancers that showed up to battle on the wrong day

[@ras4756]

Something about Sonia.....😍

[@boyjames888]

are some of them high ?

[@EscoToTheMax]

you start

[@kragshot1]

Genuine question; when you dance in these competitions are they formally looking for certain moves (i.e. the stuff that Jardy teaches in his videos) or are they just looking to observe your flow and what you bring to the dance floor?

[@sayaq]

I think it's more overall presence, not specific dance moves.

[@Chaosfoxx]

wow steve is good

[@lipznfros]

she feelin it...

[@alexvora]

Very First track : Salvatore Agrosi Feat Sahffi - I Want You (DM.Recordings)

[@jeffreyblack9438]

They are never offbeat m8s ! you should listen to the music more closely!

[@LaMOi1]

These judges are a little bias towards to men - some of these females smashed the men, and I mean SMASHED... And the men still win? With some frankly basic and boring routines!

[@johnlinares8997]

completely agree

[@LaMOi1]

+John Linares esp the girl at 18:25... I mean guy before her was basic, he had NOTHING... And then she comes along and killed it. Then the Judges vote for the guy. Now I'm sorry - that's ridiculous!

[@johnlinares8997]

Yeah true .. I've noticed that the girls have more rhythm and some dudes are stiff .. Not all dudes but some. But credit should be given where credits due.

[@THEREALCAPTAINDREAD]
