The Art of Urban Dance

Among the many facets of the Arts that I really enjoy is the art of Urban Dance. I want to pay my respects to this art form in my first blog post.

For my first installation, I will give tribute to the style called WAACKING, made popular by the likes of none other than Jody Watley. It is a style that came out of good ol' La La Land, and I love it. Here is a Waacking battle that was held in New York, 2008.
