Filipino Traffic Cop Dances While He Works

Filipino Traffic Cop Doing His Job Like A Boss

Nice collection of footage of the dancing traffic cop in action. I've seen videos of this guy before and there seem to be lots on YouTube. What a great way to get famous.

I used to have fantasies of moving to Tokyo and dancing every day or week in a spot with a lot of tourists. If you were interesting enough (or weird, in my case) you could get world famous doing that. But I guess fame just wasn't enough motivation for me to make that happen!

Does this qualify as "street dance"?

Girl Walk // All Day: 71 Minute Dance/Music Video to Girl Talk's All Day

I wrote about a 71 minute dance-music video over at Hypebot called Girl Walk // All Day. It's a dancing in public space tale featuring the All Day album by Girl Talk and premieres December 8th in Brooklyn, NY. However, it's also going to be released online in segments.

Director Jacob Krupnick posted an 8 minute video of initial footage shot on the Staten Island Ferry featuring dancer Anne Marsen whose improvisational combination of dance styles is considered a good match for Girl Talk's mashups of other people's music.

This video was used in a Kickstarter campaign that raised around 5 times as much as requested resulting in $24,817 in funding to develop the full video. I think this is a very cool project that will be getting a lot more attention in the days ahead.

This animated bboy battle came out at least as far back as 2006. I was checking out a studio video from some of the kids associated with World of Dance and remembered this animated series. It featues music by Kid Koala and The Slew with animation by Jonathan Ng.

There are actually two shorter animations featuring each of the characters solo. You can check for that at Ill Moves, my old hip hop dance blog.
