TOYIN vs DEXTER | I LOVE THIS DANCE ALL STAR GAME 2018

[@cleange1]

I am a clinical counselor and I keep this in my feel good file. I go to this file when I am feeling good, down, need a pick me up, inspiration... Or when I just need to be reminded of the beauty and greatness within the capacity of the human condition and connection. I feel like this was not even a competition.. like there were no losers.. like everybody won.. from the audience, the judges, and of course the dancers.. There was all kinds of souls and spirits up on that stage. There were some legacy bonds being transformed. They just blessed us with some of the most raw and intimate authenticity without saying a word... somatics.. Whew!!! Gracias a los dos!!

[@johnsanz8351]

The last dance was a tribal thing everybody reunited. Totally awesomE

[@R0BCRAM]

The way he [Dexter] takes the spiritual energy from Toyin is epic. I totally get this.

[@basilerasidy]

That battle was spiritual man.

[@Arnoboy93]

Amazing exchange ! Toyin just cleansed my soul.

[@kimberlywilliams9422]

Here I am again watching one of my favorite dance videos. This sistah was dancing the ancestors dance. Just killed it, even the brother had to give her props. They both went primal. I really, really enjoy this.

[@Lekat974]

That’s not a battle. That’s a discussion. 🙏🏾

[@envogue1]

I have just been moved to tears, I am physically crying, both dancers gave us techniques, soul, emotion, performance and heart. Thank you. Inspiration.

[@stephaniefortune6949]

This is a 2-year-old comment but I'm here in 2021 for the first time seeing this and surely experienced exactly what you did for the first time in my life a dance battle has ever brought me to spiritual joyful tears she was amazing

[@kimberlywilliams9422]

OMG! As feminine as her dance was, his was masculine and total opposites. That was so awesome. One of the best.

This gave me goosebumps all over my body. So much soul on the dance floor that it had the ancestors tapping their feet , beautiful!

[@krakhot04]

Thanks to the dancers for that!!! Those rounds were incredible!! We sometimes forget the aim of our dance but they remind us!! Still have goos bumps watchin this rounds... it's all about love & exchange

[@amromahir1497]

goosebumps m8

[@kristiannelson1851]

Holy Jesus, what did I just watch in Toyin?!!! I could literally watch, or should I say feel, her dance 25 hours a day! That combination of expression, technique, and talent is rare.

[@ExotiqBeautii]

the energy from both was ripping my heart out of my chest!!! c'est vrai!

[@e.n.akasha9516]

Meditative dancing per say,ritual,out of body experience??! ...Toyin transcends the boundaries of consciousness in her performance...mesmerizing, primal, raw, ART. I literally was watching with my mouth open!!! in complete awe!

[@yolandaelliott1546]

Jaw dropping performances....a PERFECT balance of emotional dance. LOVED IT.

[@thenoblesound]

I was absolutely hypnotised by Toyin's performance. She is one of the greatest dancers I've seen in my life. And anyone, first track ID please?) Thank you.

[@lusido1802]

It is called "Soleil de plomb", by Julien Villa. We composed it for Dexter's performance and Toyin killed it so deeply

[@sukekawamooring]

@@lusido1802 Is the track available yet???

[@Chupacake23]

I'm just commenting so I can get the song info also. Amazing performance to an amazing song.

You can finally find it here, sorry for the latency... soundcloud.com/julienvilla/song-for-dexter-feat-lu-si-do-ildt-2018

[@kellyfulmen6046]

_I'm used to watching dancers like Paradox, Les Twins, Skitzo, and so on. When I saw the first round of this video, Toyin's style of dance didn't connect with me. I'm used to seeing consistent musicality, beat kills, and feats of athletic ability, which is why her opponent's interpretation made more sense to me at first._ _It wasn't until halfway through the second round that I realized that her style of dance is LITERAL interpretation of the song she's performing to. She doesn't connect purely with the beat, she's connecting to the soul of the song itself. And I found that pretty damn amazing~_

[@AM-yz1yp]

Totally agree with you. Such tendency can be seen in many of Japanese dancers too, who prefer literal expression of the songs.

[@koseichampollion3348]

Beautifully explained!

[@MykeRomeo2]

It was also a dedication to her mother who had just passed away right before this event, I stalked her IG page, it made that performance that much more powerful knowing that....

[@farahabdulahi474]

@@MykeRomeo2 omg that is insane. the feeling she gave off during this was so powerful and felt like both suffocating and liberating? I don't know but she is amazing

[@ripcity3130]

Man stfu

[@3Quils72]

I am so overjoyed by what I have witnessed tonight. What beauty, what creativity, what spirituality and love.This was dance as art, as life, as ritual, as joy, as anger, as beauty, as brilliance. Thank you @ilovethisdance for sharing!!!

[@nikkiray9]

Both dancers Toyin/Dexter took us on a spiritual journey felt Ancestors through music and dance this was not just a battle it was a story being told.. teary eyed right now wow

[@KittyLewinsky7]

I just cannot get over this battle. I absolutely loved it!!!! It was deep, u could feel it. I love my people. This is something u cannot learn. They showed much respect to each other while dancing. They felt each other. Best dancers I’ve ever seen in my life! God Bless!

[@officialdjmeg]

TOYIN что ты творишь..... Это же огнище !!

[@TheBboyMogli]

I‘m speach less 😍 this is what dance meant to be ! pure expression of your inner self ! thank you for sharing this with the world ❤️❤️ my heart is beating like crazy right now ! i love this dance !

[@eyeciv]

Dexter was crazyyy this battle was super spiritual!!

[@christalainkamanda]

Ceci est le plus bel échange (non, ceci n'était pas une battle) qu'il m'ait été permis de voir. Merci, I Love This Dance.

[@kwancharlie]

that's the energy of dancing, so raw and infectious, they move in a way like it's an instinct to mankind, i feel like crying at the end

[@StacieSNM]

Every time I watch this it gets me emotional😢….absolutely beautiful

[@andreacooks59]

Dance is clearly a gift, along with music and the ability to see it and feel it..Praise Jah, praise Jah- Psalms 83:18

[@lilac749]

Toyin's dancing is so refreshing. She's such an amazing dancer!

[@annakhusnutdinova9937]

The dance was incredible and touched me deep inside, thank you!

[@ALUNAYA]

Only art can transcend life ♥ Hope they can feel us, whenever they are.

[@TreviQ]

wow.....dexter went in on that last round. what a journey. this duo.....waw. just waw

[@bailegatita]

This is the medicine I meed to see. Not my genre of dance but my style. Lady Toyin thank you from my heart for showing me how it is done . Dance is heartbeat it is life it is a bridge that the body creates between music spirit and physical. What she shows is is tarab . She embodies duende. Its just beautiful to watch this. Thank you 💖

[@cieagathedjokam_dansequoti5889]

Tous les deux m'ont mis en larmes....I love this spirit in dance... THANKD

[@joanespinoza260]

Es la batalla de baile que más ha llegado a mi, me encanta I love this dance por esto, el ambiente que se tiene aquí no lo he visto en ningún otro sitio. Toyin con su segundo turno fue algo... fantástico, me recordó un poco al turno de Goku hace unas ediciones, simplemente maravilloso, son las 12 am y me voy a parar a bailar es que no puedo con este sentimiento en el corazón.

[@ArtificeSounds]

More than a battle this event shows the art and love we share for dancing Truly inspirational. I love this dance

[@alessiodigiacomo3725]

How powerful and touching can be dancing.. This has been a wonderful experience

[@lakhan_shirsath]

Soul feeling a music 🎶 man

[@lenyagusli]

TOYIN first dance was just brilliant its just like arrow from God come to the stage to release the passion to life, ufff! Dexter last dance - man, u was so close, but still cannt free your mind away and fly, u touch the floor but u still in boots. but u will, wish u luck, dont think about while dancing

[@clarachagnolleau467]

Les deux sont incroyables !

[@IdealistTCO]

Found myself back to this dance to get me back in the feels. Thanks KZbin. I still remember that the first song was specifically produced for Dexter and Toyin just usurped it. If memory serves, she was dancing in memory of her mother? It was years ago when I looked into it so I couldnt remember incorrectly.

[@MalboneigeBrandon]

MAGNIFIQUE en live c'était incroyable !
