Fik-Shun (SYTYCD10) vs Laurent (Les Twins) [FREESTYLE EXHIBITION BATTLE]

I'm so honored that Laurent allowed me to battle him. Even though I didn't win, I'm happy that I got to experience what it was like to battle one of the greats. Larry and Laurent are two of my biggest inspirations when it comes to musicality, so to have a chance to dance with them was awesome. P.S. I hope to battle Laurent again in the near future.

fik-shun isn't a "child" as someone stated. Show the brotha some respect. He's excellent at his craft. I can't with these fangirls.

[@ucheejiofor2145]

He's better than les twins

[@brittanybright9551]

@@ucheejiofor2145 no 👎🏾

[@makesmartTROYces]

@@ucheejiofor2145 To be 100% objective that's false. He's a bonafide legend but the reality is Fik didnt make it past preselections of Juste Debout the same year the twins were judges on the event. The twins made it to the quarterfinals the year before that, but they got lowkey smoked by Diablo and Stalameurte😂. The facts are the twins have competed and/or won international competitions consistently over the past decade. BUT fikshin could absolutely beat them, anybody can get beat on any given day.

[@PathologicalLiar1999]

In a notable encounter from the past, Laurent found himself grappling with a knee issue. Fik Shun, sensing an opportunity, approached him for a dance battle. Despite Laurent's candid disclosure about his leg condition, he asserted with a confident smirk, "Even with one leg, I will whoop your ass." The intensity of the moment was undeniable, reflecting both the competitive spirit and camaraderie within the dance community. However, what followed was a nuanced twist. Fik Shun, aware of the advantage he might possess in this scenario, uploaded the battle labeling it "Fikshun vs Laurent." While this move may be seen as a strategic play in the competitive realm, some might question its adherence to the principles of honor and sportsmanship. It's crucial to note that despite any reservations about the situation, admiration for Fik Shun remains unwavering. His prowess as a dancer places him firmly in my top 10, if not top 5, dancers of all time. This incident, while sparking a debate on sportsmanship, doesn't overshadow the immense respect and regard I hold for Fik Shun as an exceptional talent in the world of dance.

[@LoveCorrie]

I love me some Les Twins but Fikshun ate this one. Laurent’s musicality movements were more to the beat. But Fikshun’s musicality movements were to the beat AND the words. It was like he was acting out the lyrics through his movements.

[@BamTheDancer]

I would like to see Fik-Shun battle Laurent to a song that neither of them know. Someone mentioned how my crew Dragon House looks choreographed in our dance videos. Of course, we shoot videos to songs that we already know in and out.

[@fjhddhfj8942]

Do you guys form dragonhouse even like les twins as dancers just a thought, i been a dragon house fan for a long time and was disappointed no one represented yall on world of dance yall would have gave the les twins a run for their money, now i will say i do like the twins and larry is my #1favorite dancer right next to non-stop but why dont yall interact more both dragon house and criminals crew are the BIGGEST names in dance, idk man im just renting on im not even a dancer but i enjoy watching every single one of you just wish yall would do more together 😌

[@spballer84]

Um bluprint, hitman, jcode and I forget the girls all have performed at WOD..

[@TK0S3]

It happened lol. Didn't end well for Fikshun or Larry for that matter. Both Fikshun & Larry are beat killers and shine best when they dance to songs that not only they know through and through but fits their style as well. Laurent flows with the music. His versatility shines in those moments the most. Btw Fikshun was killer in these old videos. But then again they were songs he knew through and through. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6fCoY1radeNnpI&ab_channel=ArwenaFiennes

Nikola Mugosa you right, they dont know laurents style

[@thatdogetho5968]

[@felix_christopher]

Yea, it's a disadvantage, since it's probably hard, not to get pulled into that macho-shit Hip Hop has to offer - I mean, just look at that facial expression that Fik-Shun gave, when Laurent danced - like »is he gay, or wha!?« - it's easy to be impressed by that agreement about male-stereotypes in Hip Hop and I think Les Twins always did well in showing off their ballet-grace to destroy especially the »Machine« boys who only flexed their muscles. But I guess Fik-Shun did well to implement some of their grace into his flexing of muscles.

Because Lau didn't know the songs as well as fikshun, that is exactly why I think Lau won, because it was a set up from the word jump and he still killed it, which is a testiment to his talent and his willingness to take on all comers.. fikshum found out why they call the man Lil Beast, even when he was standing in Lau's way and clowning (which if you noticed Lau ignored and kept on going), he still taught that child a lesson.

[@_Bat-Man_]

Fikshun won fair and square . Laurent was boaring .. And the fact that les twins always tap their ears when battling other dancers who don't know the beat is a contradiction in itself.. Fik shun bought Laurent back down to earth here..

[@pantiger1756]

People used to say that less twins are the best but honestly it's the same thing every time in almost all their videos.. I want you all to differentiate progress between them and fik shun. Fik shun you're my idol and I wanna be without and be at your level some day🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 For fun shun, he got different moods for different songs and one thing I seen is that your mood can affect your moves.. Fin shun you my daddy😍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😘😘

[@leokoy5016]

Laurent's dancing style includes movements from all parts of his body and he dances mostly to calm or emotional songs for his style to suit the music. Unlike Larry, he likes to dance to rap songs and his feet movements are better than Laurent's. So, I think it would be a much better dance battle if larry were Fik-shun's opponent here. I agree with people saying Fik-shun won this battle. But if you want to see where Laurent destroyed both Larry and Fik-shun, go see there battle in WOD LA 2016. HAHA, he totally had all audiences eyes on him.
