Caleaf vs Kapela JUDGE BATTLE House Dance Forever Warrior Edition - Summer Dance Forever 2018

[@backcuetheoriginal]

The documentary on Mobtop brought me here. I did not know Caleaf still danced. I love his dancing, especially his spins! Both of these dancers were great! Thanks for the upload SDF!

[@micksolo2912]

If you haven't seen it yet. Please follòw his journey with Tony Ray through the battles of Juste Debout 2019 to the finals.

I was wondering what Chalif was up to also I've been watching a lot of house dancing cruise from the '90s I used to love to watch Peter Paul and Calif dance cuz they were so tall and thin. unique Styles so many

[@housahaulicrecordstv4310]

Seee these new guys have been watching and learning from the NYC vets studying their videos and coming up with their own take or flava. What’s sad for the dance lovers of the new generation is they never saw how those moves were actually done. I love the new guys. The only thing I think they lack is dancing with that feeling like caleaf does. It’s like having that glow. You don’t look like your trying to do moves , you just have to do them in a flow and that can’t be taught. Like how mj dance with feeling. I have only seen one new guy myself that has that flow and it’s Yugson. He feels it and you can see it.

[@ShakoureChar]

Caleaf... Still the mad beast in the HOUSE!

[@eddiefresh76]

Yo Caleaf still dances like he is at the Paradise Garage yooo crazy..

Second track please???

[@brophi19]

CALEAF A LEGEND IN HOUSE DANCING. KAPELA IS A GREAT DANCER BUT A YOUNG CALEAF SMOKES HIM EAZY. MY OPINION.

[@JorgeRodriguez-yk1rs]

This is like a conversation between father and son and the son is trying to show up dad but dad still get it.Big leaf forgot more move than what Kapela even knows but what he lacks in his library he makes up with confidence

Can someone tell me what the trac is at 5:45 please!

[@PrinceEC]

CALEAF!!! Damn that fresh style, so light on your feet bro! That feel and flow = so effortless. I mean I do admit I can see why people could say Kapela won that battle, but for me its still CALEAF! Kapelas very creative yo! Anyway, that's just my two cents. Respect to both though! :) Peace!

[@PauloPiccoly]

SECOND TRACK?

[@romanterekhov3007]

The moment when it does not matter who won, people already see everything. For Kapela, everything was said by his dance

[@godchildrenofsoul]

Nice!!!!

[@djpokkeydjpokkey109]

Caleaf hands down won

[@obsidiansea]

Since when do you ask one of the competitors to decide who won? Why didn't they let the crowd decide or have other judges? Is this a thing in house dancing? I've never seen this before. Caleaf was my pick to win until that happened. Not classy to pick yourself as the winner even if you think you are better.

[@read85Soldierebook]

Maan if my knees still worked like the rest of my body these kids wouldn't stand a chance.

[@physicalnoiz499]

Get back in there its never too late

[@BeatzMedicine]

Moodyman - shades of jay

[@acedup00]

I would definitely give this to Kapela. 🤔

[@eduardosantoscolodel8742]

You are not a judge

[@Tinku912]

Caleaf won, Hands Down! His movements are more fluid and his footwork is excellent. Kapela knew he lost that's why he conceded. If he didn't really believe he lost, he should have said he won. Kapela is good, but in my opinion, he sometimes is off beat.

[@yellowjoe.2000]

Caleaf definitely won that one

[@yellowjoe.2000]

Kapela gained at least 7 kg or 15 lbs since the battle he won against Ejoe. He looks a little less light on his feet here

[@artzoulhouse7876]

Kapela did it & he knows it!😉

[@dduddikaa]

Kapela , won by miles , and he knows it . That's enough 👌🏼

[@sn4pi]

Yeah right, that's why he let Caleaf win. Also house isn't about winning or losing, it's the experience that you share with the music. If one doesn't get this he doesn't understand what house actually is

[@yellowjoe.2000]

wrong. Caleaf won this one. Kapela did beat Ejoe though.

[@arsenioquezadaangles3357]

Caleaf da legend !! Do that sh#$%

[@p1ngl00pbacc]

Caleaf all in the powder for a bit at first.. man I was dancing by the speakers in this decent event hall.. I forgot the headliner, i'm in the sticks, this was DJ Dan.. and I went for a drink right quick.. I came back with the same energy and sloppy moves, but almost fuxing died because the floor was like wet ice on wet ice fml lol the shuffleboard wax. someone was watching me while I was tripped out by the speakers asshole lol

[@werightnow]

Not the right song...in the beginning...not appropriate for a dance battle

[@sn4pi]

Oh no look who's crying.. Tbh you should stop looking at this video and stop thinking of it as a "battle". You should grow up and get inspired by these two wonderful dancers, how they interpret the music so differently. House is not about battling, that's just some show shit and a chance for these people to earn money. In reality they resprect the other and just have fun. And you can see that they are having fun by copying the moves of the other one or trying to predict what they will do next! What you see as "arrogance" is a completely normal thing for "dance battles". You can even see this kind of stuff in solo jazz and swing dance battles and THAT'S a completely different culture!

[@micksolo2912]

@@sn4pi Why do dancers find it so difficult to rise above the challenge of a bad song or a bad DJ?

[@sn4pi]

@@micksolo2912 I don't know. I think that dancing the best out of *every* song is what makes dancing so interesting. It makes me sad how some of the house community badmouth the dj because he played a bad song (in their opinion). And then you look at the fcking tango Argentino scene that already has NON-TANGO MILONGAS where they play non-tango music only! So you see people dancing tango to blues, pop, reggae, samba and all the electronic music! This clearly shows that you can perform one type of dance to every music no matter what it sounds like. Plus people talking about bad music and good music is just dumb. Everyone has their own taste so there is no bad in general. Best ex. I love pink guy music af and most people hate it or just look at it as a meme.

[@Lalovision3D]

The song Shan S knew the words to, yeah, what does he know.

[@brotherafrika]

Caleaf won the first battle so Kapela had to give it to him to ease his conscience.

[@j2dakdak719]

To me Kapela won as you have lost the battle if your opponent can read your move. Its like a real fight. If your opponent knows your next hook from below you clearly can dodge it. Furthermore, the dynamic and Musicality finess of Kapella was better. Caleaf is foundation and freaking groovy but on this one Kapella hella wins.

[@werightnow]

Kapela was being an arrogant French Dick head...disrespecting Caleaf

[@brotherafrika]

This is not capoeira. It’s house dancing.

[@angelinemarsland]

Lol house don’t work like that, it’s not a fight. It’s all about love and community. A good battle is about technique, skill, confidence, and character

[@viviantriana5146]

man, for how many years has been Caleaf on the scene? he's one of the pioneers, he's been there since the very beginning and I think many of us have learned a lot by watching his videos again and again and trying to follow his moves which at the end of the day are among the foundation as you said. Course you gonna be able to predict several of his moves but I think the dance is much more than "new moves", which at the end of the day are not that new cause you watch videos of the young pioneers and realize they were already doing crazy stuff 30 years ago. I know Kapela was not trying to be disrespectful probably just trying to create that "battle atmosphere" though

[@daytona-x7b]

Hate how arrogant US house dancers are...

[@monoxfittedbrim]

Scott Fibanacci where was the arrogance at?

[@monoxfittedbrim]

Because I watch ejoe humbly run through every body and showed no arrogance. Elaborate on how the USA came arrogant again ?

[@daytona-x7b]

Ejoe is not, tony mcgregor and caleaf definitely act like eu dancers are beneath them or ''not true house dancers''

[@monoxfittedbrim]

Scott Fibanacci and you that personally about caleaf & tony or is that just an assumption? 🧐. Because the same can be said about most Europe dancers .

[@daytona-x7b]

just look at how caleaf and tony act when they battle europeans compared to when they battle each other. They barely look at the dancers, they walk around, look bored. Same can be said about europe dancers? sure but not specifically when battling americans. Theres nothing but respect shown to tony caleaf and american dancers at this event especially. Theres definitely air of superiority there, and lets be honest im not saying anything crazy here. Ive danced with american dancers, nobody famous but the general opinion among them is that europe and rest of the world dont dance true house. hell even on youtube videos you see so many comments calling out dancers for not being ''real dancers'' and its always americans in their 30s/40s.
