Houston, Texas
Vinh & BG
(Vibe Tribe)
vs
Free & Orb
(Circle of Fire)

I've been taking house dance lessons for the past few months and I've been addicted to it ! The modern hip hop style can sometimes be too technical, too frigid. and such a headach to dance to. House dance is pure joy and freedom.

[@Nexxorcist]

i have much respect to free and orb for always dancin their way, from the heart, no matter what.

[@DeJaAjed]

This is an outstanding capture of how music can groove you to move!! This is much more than understanding the concepts of rhythm... You've got to feel it! Thanks for the post. Awesome.

Jedi Clan (later became Mindtricks) in 91 92 93 was my first encounter with house dancing in my area.

[@cheeya9000]

This is pretty freaking sweet. I wish I was that smooth. :(

[@Glowdreamer]

very nice everything was clean.

[@eralare]

but for me I only complain on people that love the dance over the music because without this music there is no dance, people really need to listen cuz lately i see alot of people dancin over it no in it. thats one thing that i see from alot of the older heads. they always have a real intimate relationship with music and with that I highly respect. -lare. vibe tribe

[@TeNofQuad]

Vhin and BG was on fire! that battle was fabfresh

[@jayelowell]

we still dance from the soul!!! you know what whateva u probably dont even dance anymore! u cant discredit what house is now!!! come to boston where house music is still alive & well & in the underground!~~

[@dirtydale]

I want in on it all... I hate that I could not attend this event! One thing to all dancers out there please please please try to feel the vibe when you dance so important!!!

[@emurs21]

the song is called "a cup of coffee" by eddie and the eggs

[@darqman82]

I think that's a good thing. History has shown that once an art form gets assimilated into "mainstream" or "popular culture" it becomes polluted and a caricature of its original form. Hip hop and jazz are perfect examples. Another is back in the early 90's with C&C Music Factory and Black Box, Both of these groups artist tremendous talents, whose roots were firmly planted in the underground club scene, but by the time the record companies got a hold of them, it was business as usual.

[@vaanLuvU]

just realize that the dude with dread locks is orb from circle of fire.

[@groovestylez]

Halleluja! Datz all a brotha gotta say! God Damn shiet boyz, Beeg and Vinh, YALL NUKKAS KILLED DAT SHIET!

[@darqman82]

Hi faft1981, You have some very valid points. And I can relate to everything that you've stated so far. But you have to remember one thing that the internet does allow everyone to research learn about the history of the underground scene. I'm an anomaly a black that can't dance. But I used to love partying at those same clubs that you mentioned. But the atmosphere is what I loved and the spirit that the music created. I probably was one of the people watching you dance. It's all about fun times

[@unrealisticallyreal]

@Jonofthekings the song is Eddie & the Eggs - A Cup Of Coffee

[@Jefreedom1]

"HOUSE DANCE" to me is influenced by the different influences included in HOUSE MUSIC. Afro, Latin, Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Funk......etc....... "its not about the MOVE, its about the GROOVE".... and thats what MOST dancers today don't have... peace & FREEDOM.

[@cygn]

it's A Cup Of Coffee by Eddie & The Eggs (aka Maurice Fulton)

[@wreckinshop]

Koki and Loose Lee were dope!!!

[@pinoyhero]

I feel what you just said insults a lot of people including myself who enjoy both house and bboying it does no matter how you express yourself as long as its coming from the soul like my brotha free the soulshifter told me "let the music move you and it will help you flow through life" so regardless of what people think i will dance the way i want to dance

[@gimmeatowel]

damn yo... that was dope

[@nobelhung]

black can never be replaced grasshopper get in line for the glory you feel me im next up

[@zanedm]

So I haven't seen this in years I was watching vids and spotted it in the "suggested" videos. Its crazy to see how far you and BG have come from there. I also just noticed right at he beginning I yell "hey vinh" trying to get your attention for some reason probably all drunk haha

[@mixedwell]

:D You know my sissstterrr. Deng. haha

[@aquatine]

filipino is the new black! haha good to meet you guys at hodown...

[@TheAgentOfTruth]

@goekhan lol, okay, upon further review . . they were aiight . . y'know, for being from Houston an' all . . was feeling the cats on the left a bit more in this one . . .

[@jayelowell]

utopia held by dj bruno! i think they have some video on youtube search boston house music or something! & house music still has not hit the main stream... other forms of music that came from it did!!! house is still underground!

[@deepinto134]

i like the left team better. feelin the groove. can somebody identify the first song? whos the artist? thanks, love S.

[@ScottYHsieh]

liberty panda!

[@eralare]

in all due respect faft. i mos def agree with u on many aspects. but 1 thing that remains constant is change. theres really nothing we can do with what will naturally happen but i think people must really pay tribute to history, to the music, the people, and culture that was born from the underground. I am glad that we can call something "house dance" as lame as it may seem but really, theres alot of people that LOVE "house/garage/loft" music

[@jayelowell]

what house is now isn't what it was like back in the days of the garage of the ware-house. it has evolved! if you dislike what it is now then you probably weren't dancing house in the first place! "you were just dancing" not everyone understands house musicthats why they just stand back and watch, & the battling part of it came from hip-hop! when the dj starting cutting those break beats out of the disco tracks ha borrow that from hip-hop 'where competion thrives" & along followed the b-boy!

[@zanedm]

@FreestyleBoy2010 Yo i'm not sure why no one replied but NYC is the mecca for house dance. If you don't know whats up by now and still want to get involved, send me a message I'll tell you where to go.

[@SirSwift]

Thank you and peace !

[@Jefreedom1]

[@jasonjinx]

houston?

[@Jonofthekings]

anyone know the song used

[@5starbrand843]

@skaguy88 Coming from the guy who's name is based off a music genre that glues pieces of other music together, to make a Frankenstein genre lol right buddy...

[@odin2free]

RASTA OWNNNSSS haha

[@MarinaFranklinComedian]

I totally get what your saying, however, gotta make way for the young and new. I just despize dance circles at clubs, being from Chicago it takes away what was fun about house music. There were always moments that broke out into a punk slam dance but not circles all night freaking long. Boring. And so Ego based it's laughable.

[@goekhan]

@TheAgentOfTruth i know whatcha mean... me being from frankfurt germany i know how to dominate a beat "y'knooow" :D and the azns couldn't really handle the 3boom boom booms

[@JoseMiguelp]

well,from the little i know,u have the 3 basic concepts of footwork,lofting and jacking,thats the basis for the dance..but i heard that historically house was a really open-minded culture (and thats whats beautiful about it=) ) so it accepts all kinds of moves,as long as they r on tempo..but i'm not definetelly the best person to explain u this,as my knowledge of this is still very limited.if u wanna know more check out housedancer. com,great explanation of the history there=) take care

[@djirok]

why, whats so hard about it

[@TheAgentOfTruth]

amateurs . . .
