Who else would you like to see on the show?
Storm. He's another Triple Threat.
That’s actually a great idea!
Mr steen! I think salah also learn from steen
@@GrowingDownUnder Hell yes, also a great dancer that I hadn't yet thought of. Good call!
@@llmrfantasticll bluprint, nonstop, skitzo, poppin John or really anybody from dragon house but definitely bluprint and nonstop
In any field of endeavor you are the result of all who came before you, filtered through your heart, and enhanced by your own creative input.
NO ONE stands alone on the mountaintop because they climbed alone.
Nah dude, YOU made neck isolation popular. Like your dance moves are so awesome man. I learned neck isolation only because of you. Thank you for creating these videos man
Thank you!
What I loved about his dancing is that he was an entertainer. So many dancers of his era were able to mesmerize you with their repertoire of choreographed moves, but Salah always had a story behind his dancing. He was a great storyteller comical dramatic and at times poignant.
Technically he’s perfect. I don’t see any weak points He’s master over all his body parts Tremendous athleticism. I can’t say enough. I don’t even try to danc like him it’s impossible
Salah must be super intelligent.
He’s doing a fast continuous wave with one arm, while simultaneously doing a staccato isolated wave slowly with the other arm.
He’s exercising both sides of his brain to do this and it’s tremendously hard to do perfectly.
I think imitation is the greatest of honors. When I saw Elsewhere and Mr. Wiggles, all I wanted was to replicate their moves. When I saw you and Pacman's audition on SYTYCD I could only wish I could actually copy those moves, because it was pretty obvious where you two guys were comming from, but that had evidently evolved from that to your own style. I see Phillip now on his Insta and the choreography style he has developed is so awesome and it makes me proud that he has perfected and grown from where he became viral and so have you. I believe you are a great dancer and performer who has learned a lot on how and where to move forward in your own style. In my humble opinion, having people wanting to do what you do and of course becoming even better is such a compliment. Not sure if that's how karma works; but you can bet on one thing; there will be for decades a lot of kids who saw you perform and imitate you in hopes of becoming the next viral locker-popper.
Its 3AM, I have a Mid term exam tomorrow. For some reason I decided to search your name up after years of not watching dance & I found your channel lol. Your name brings back a lot of memories, definitely subscribing. You deserve at least 300k+, hope you get the recognition you truly deserve. Back to memory lane for me lol
Haha thanks dude! Glad you decided to search me!!!! This channel is all about the nostalgia to be honest lol
It's my opinion that you gave him the ultimate compliment and did what art always does, takes from the best and keeps it alive in different forms, from one to many. Lot's of artists want their creation for themselves but the greatest rule of art is when you put your piece out there, it's really no longer yours. However, homage, respect, recognition can always persist and you showed that. Touching story, thank you for sharing this!
Salah is a Legend. . He been dancing since the 90's and he created some of the moves other dancers use today.
True story!
1996
Name one move other dancers use today?..
@@shakabra5 I think he created the death drop that Laurent does
@@shakabra5 here i name you several : the hollow back with the turns in it, the hollow back with the leg circles waves, also his hollowback cartwheels, his finger waves, the submarine, the tissue popping, the one side tutting one side waving popping at the same time, the deflate and inflate knees to the floor and up, simply watch the styledeouf videos from the early 2000 (with footage from him from 1997 to early 2000.
Be it in bboying or popping or tutting, Salah invented moves (done in underground battles or world events) taken by many dancers.
Love your honesty that’s just a small part of who you are and why we love you and believe me that’s only part of why your our favorite dancer!!!!
Salah is our second favorite so thank you for covering him and that’s another reason we believe you’re our favorite dancer keep up the great work !!!
Nothing but love from probably your oldest fan!!!
I say never stop dancing!!!!!!!!!!
🙏🙏🙏🥰
Salah is a Legend
This dude is on another level. I was a sophomore in highschool back in '80 when all the poppin/lockin/robot/breakin/etc stuff started to take off. None of us that were tryin it back then had any idea that it would reach the level that kids and young people have taken it nowadays...it's ridiculous sic. If it doesn't entertain, or bring a smile to one's face, they're probably friggin dead. Luv it...
I absolutely agree 100%. Salah is mesmerizing. Talented on a level that would rattle the most seasoned dancer out there. I love the fact that he is intentional in the desire to truly make the audience to fall in love with him.
Likewise!
Also dude, I just wanna say, the fact that Salah and the other guys were sort of teaming up against you is because you're so awesome. Its his mistake he didn't get that famous. He could have gone to So You Think You Can Dance and audition and go viral and didn't - so that's on him. You're awesome dude. Its all you and your style. I know I am being super positive, but I really mean it. You showed the world a new kind of dance. Thank you Robert! We'll meet in LA soon man! Thank you for creating these videos. I am learning a lot from watching these - thank you!
You mean social media famous, because Salah is very much street famous :
- 1997 he went up to half time show at Battle of the Year 1997 Internaitonal
- 1998 with the family he was disqualified (because touching opponent) at Battle of the Year 1998, yet the judges saying France (The Family) had the better dancers
- with Vagabonds Salah won several crew world championships (since 1997 Stylements not a single US team won that title)
- Salah won the Juste Debout (aka the real stand up dance world championships.
Salah one of the most titled stand up dancers, one of the most titled bboys in one of the top 5 crews at Bboy worldchampionships.
You Think You Can Dance show is garbage as much as was MTV's best dance crew claiming to have the best crews.
I have to give you the same compliment that I've once gotten, which is that I love the way one can hear you smiling in your voice. That makes it very easy and nice to listen to. And holy heck this Salah, I'm going to follow him on IG right now!
🥰🥰
Your equally inspiring and just as great man
Thank you!
So happy that I just found your channel Robert, you and Salah made me love popping in particular and dancing in general. You both being able to deliver as dancers and entertainers. Really many people hold Salah as the best dancer All Time. He's old now but still killing it.
Salah is always true to his style he doesn't just do moves to prove musicality or anything else and he is the best body communicator that everybody loves. I love that he takes his time to dance, communicate and be creative on the spot. And he loses battles with such grace.
I don't know why the dance scene in the USA is a bit different from the rest of the world, but Salah is simply a legend worldwide.
Glad to discover your channel.
The King. The scariest person to battle against and has so much stuff. Just don't annoy him, he will clown you AND take the win.
👍
Poppin Hyun Joon since you done video with john
Now here's the thing for me when it comes to biting. Doing someone "else's move". How do you know it's theirs number 1, and number 2 being able to do their move is impressive on it's own. Yes being original is difficult too. But what's harder? Doing a really difficult move that already exists, or coming up with an easier move on your own? That fact that you're giving him credit for inspiring you, says allot and shows that you are a respectful person. Many people besides you have used "his moves" and not sure if they made a video giving him credit. It's interesting cause I've taught classes, and workshops where I've taught my students my signature moves. Style Elements are always complaining about b-boys taking their moves, routines, and yet they taught workshops to allot of people around the world. Remind has even taught his signature moves to people. So it's kinda weird to complain, but at the same time not so weird. I'm sorta on the fence about it. I get it in certain situations though. I remember I saw a video of b-boy Ace and he's older than me, been breaking longer and we never met, and I didn't know who he was until maybe 4 years ago. He did a move in that video that I've been doing since 2009. So I messaged him and said "yo we have a similar move" and I didn't wanna give it up so I let him know I came up with it on my own, pretty much piecing together other moves, and I didn't get it from him and it's just coincidence. He totally understood cause he knows that can happen. Plus there are literally moves that are used now in different street dance styles that have been done since before street dancing became a thing. It's good to be original though. Or as original as possible cause we can't be totally original. Long comment I know. Just stuff I been thinkin about.
Yeah it's exactly what you said, there are so many cases of 'on the fence' biting, i wish i included a bit of an argument attached to my conclusion at the end of the video. But I did say that I think what I changed to the original moves is what made them mine. I took the neck isolation and brought it all the way to the floor, he would only do two or three counts of it and would take it somewhere else. tbh, thats the only move i can think of that i borrowed from lol pancake i took from elsewhere haha. but yeah to touch on what you said about somebody else coming up with a similar move but not knowing it existed before, it happens all the time, and thats why i think when it happens to you, its better to jsut be humble about it, and treat it like its a compliment or homage to your own dancing. Hell most of my fans have admitted they borrowed my moves to help them win contests, and it's that, the fact that you give credit and thank the 'originator' is enough for me personally.
As I read through your comment, I definite get where you're coming from. I have been popping since 1998 (well, more off than on, sad to say) and I am also on board with the whole biting and originality thing.
Here's my perspective about that: To be "original" is to do **something** that is out of the ordinary - SO MUCH to the point that your other bboys or popping peers will laugh at you or find it "unorthodox" and unacceptable. Each popper or bboy are much more comfortable emulating (yes, biting) another person's move because two things occur to this: They got inspired by doing "that" move and/or enhancing it to get props from the crowd AND/OR they are too comfortable to not get creative to "save face" and avoid humiliation (it's a risk-reward gamble when someone "invents" something and it gets accepted or "denied"). Back in the day when technology was limited, you were fine with being creative, because shit didn't go viral. NOW, if some schmuck pops up his camera-phone (smart phone) and records you, regardless of what move you do, you're damn suspect for criticism: "You copied (said person) moves!!" or "WTF was that?!?!" SO, it's a cruel situation you're going on it. EVEN WORSE, when that person who "created" that move sees it on UA-cam (or any other source of media), THEY WILL call you out on it! Back in the 1990s (remember, limited tech) if some dancer did the exact same lines of moves as the original (and famous) dancer, you get called out AND even possibly get your ass kicked, physically and on the dance floor. After around 2002ish, all that has changed.
The way I see it, if a dancer were to copy a certain move, style, or line of dance that I have, I would get mad... at first! Afterward, I would remember this line, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," and then I will understand that he liked it to the point of inspiration. This is why I always saw Toxic (Robert Muraine) doing Elsewhere's moves and all that, but THEN I realized that he was just doing it because he was just real inspired! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!! With the state of how popping and bboy is here in the USA, I am, at the VERY least, happy that this dance is still around - no matter how small it is.
thank man for reacting and keeping your views,, definitely Salah needs to recognized and appreciated the people who dont know him. love and Respect to you and to Salah.
Salah is to dance , what Danny Carey is to drumming,.
I got your analogy Mr F...
So friggin glad I've just stumbled upon your channel .
I'm from the original school of breaking and Poppin..
Poppin Pete , Jeff Daniel were the first we really saw here in the UK as kids and if course the Rock steady crew and NYC breakers..(who were incredible)
But even as a old fella now, I've always followed what was a big part of growing up for us.
And then the new school like yourself...
Let's make no mistake you are fantastic..😎🤘
Cheers...
🙏
Nobody tells a story with his dancing as well as Salah.
Agreed.
You made neck isolation popular, I tried this move a lot of times because of you (but I failed haha). Also, what can we to say about Michael Jackson's moves? Everybody have copied them, haha. I hope that battle. Respect.
Won’t be long till this channel gains its respect as needed well done rob
Thanks bro, one can only hope! Got 2 more of these sitting on the back burner :)
Love Salah : ) Thanks Robert : )
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Maybe you could make another series about the greats of yesteryear, dancers like Boogaloo Shrimp and Mr Wave. That would be inspirational.
I think that’s a great idea, but I could do all ages on this show too, young and og’s
Robert Muraine cool you are so right bro, I look forward to seeing them in future episodes then. Maybe even MJ who despite the controversy in his life was instrumental in influencing many other dancers of the day.
Hope to see not just Mr Wave and Boogaloo Shrimp but also Mr Wiggles and other greats that I haven't mentioned yet in this post.
Peace man and keep up the good work, really digging this channel
*Greatest dancer I've seen so far imo.*
I was never interested in dance until i saw Salah. Props for telling this story.. you are great person! I think he will forgive you:) btw i would also love to see you cover great, legendary dance performances or battles..
Def have a lot of clips to go through!
@@llmrfantasticll hahaha true :) It's just great to watch dance videos if somebody is giving expert opinion on it and also knows stories behind it, it's that more interesting to watch for someone like me :) never mind :) keep doing what you do, great channel !!
Salah legend!
I know right!
@@llmrfantasticll you too :з
Respect for you Robert! I didnt recognize you were the guy from SYTYCD until you mentioned it
The best in the world.
So goooood!
Salah is no joke, he actually does a lot of hat stuff, only a little in this video. I think his best performances are his battles as they're far more interactive and a lot of attitude and humor comes through.
Nice and I totally agree with you!
I think you should be a Duo.....your both kinda gods of Popping
Thanks for being real. I don't sense much deception.
Trying to keep it 💯!
Hey broo! i didnt recognize you at first, until i see your name, you are a genius man, i hope i can see you here and in some battles
My man! You did a Salah video! Thanks so much! Great video
Yes! Had to do it!
@@llmrfantasticll thank you so much... there is a great video I watched of him, it's new ish... I'll see if I can post a link!
Kruk lando salah... check it
❤️
You are great Sir, love from Kolkata, India.♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!
Great! Next review robert muraine vs pacman. Looking forward!
I did do Pac-Man, but only available in the us unless you go to my Facebook page, I got a copyright strike on UA-cam for that one :/
He really entertains, love the hat tricks.
Yes he does, one of the best at it!
i dont care of all of these dancers...your my favorite dancer of all time xoxo
Thank you!
Good to see you give salah respect.He is the greatest popper who ever did it.Mr.Wiggles is second.
Thanks! Yeah he is def up there on my top if you couldnt tell haha!
Salah legend
Salah is a legend of same moves
Hater, can’t stand me a m’f’n hater 🤣
My first inspiration ...,
He would smoke in the 24 olympics
i love salahh
Me too!
He can also vogue the house down.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Salah shout have known this and not been a dick..
As good as he is..😉
Shout out from Jamaica.
It's been awhile tho bra
Word! Yes been busy on the youtube lately though :D
@15:20, sometimes dancers starting out get inspiration from top tier dancers by copying moves that are really hype. As time goes on, the dancer should evolve and develop their own signature moves and style they can call their own. Salah needs to get over it for as long as there is video, copying will take place.
Salah the best dancer for me,but i wish he back to the old school dance he is now entertainment dancer not poppin dancer,and you the best robot dancer for me,sorry for my english it is week
صلاح 😎😘
😎✊
ROBERT YOU"RE MY INSPIRATION , I WANNA SEE YOUR DANCING
There’s lots of new dance clips on my channel, take a look! and thanks brother!
It's not fair that you just have 10k sub you should have at least 100k
I think if he was making these videos when he was on sytycd and touring he'd have over 100k subs. I know he has millions of views on some of his videos
Thanks that means a lot to me really, I literally just started putting effort into this channel about 5-6 months ago, I think once I gain a little bit more momentum the videos will start to have a snowball effect. Im hoping lol
@@GrowingDownUnder yeah too bad vlogging didnt exist yet hahaha i always tell myself the same thing.
I'll also be touring all of next year, and wont be in paris almost at all, so the vlogs are going to change indefinitely in just a month or two from now.
Merci👍
🙏🙏
Kida The Great, JaJa , and Mary Poppins. Also Twitch
You are a good dancer, where were you go
Not sure what you mean?
@@llmrfantasticll you are talented، I am reminding you of the "SYTYCD" program، Why is not the same as before، Where are your previous skills، I've been following you for a while.
@@abn3adi well not sure what to tell you dude.
!!!
Do princess tchozn
You just fanboying
Uh yeah, that’s what this series is lol
Please make a video tribute for boogalooji thank you
salah from moroco origine
Yes true that, I’m sorry I left that bit of important information out 🤭
He is half moroccan and half algerian but born in france according to wikipedia
Pac man battled salah now its ur turn..
🤣👌 ..
Part 2: Now the point! Eidetic memory lane is long, filled with hi-ways n bi-ways(unfortunately must justify vernacular) uh 🙄 what is 15yrs feels about 50? Ikr 😼 I’m trying to congratulate you on the fine man you mature into. Combine your love ❤️ with your friends and family and all the others that are happy 😊 as a contortionist yogi 🧘♀️ autodidact, lol 😂 self taught. But humbleness n hubris are just 2 qualities that in this sensitive time, after a global meltdown that was in the end a hoodwink! It’s all affirmations for me. By proxy thru your apologies too that existential triple threat in the favour of the other. Expressing your concern through dance 🕺 Le twins 👯♀️ are intimately aware that they are deux malarkey 😏 but, as a street artist 👩🎨 from a gallery artist 👩🎨 life will take you place in the right MINDSET! Meditation 🧘♀️ is hard for ev1 but after 30 yrs 2h a day is normal. Happy 😊 while happiness is life! The meaning of life? So easy! It’s life! The ability of consciousness my understanding awareness of self n others. Unlike most of the pop-locking sure off the b boys are the getto rehearsal hall. I’m for on was crying , laughing 😂 when the audition went viral on UA-cam bc. Toronto and Montreal, was it for ant thing California worthy 🙇♂️ inverted! Wink 😉 I did really appreciate that tweak on the threading 🧵 the needle 🪡 cut off the thread 🧵 lol I keep the “drop it down spinning 😵💫 up” tuche. I love ❤️ these exposure too dancers “huff er’s” Sammy Davis Jr speaks off, as he was also MICHEAL! Prodigy is too much stress. Raise your consciousness to the 7th in order too break free reincarnated ♾ conformity of your self! Your oneness! And at such point @one you will be with the universe and then all is 1! Love ❤️ i’re n shanti Mr.Fantastic for president and PAC-Man. If there was room for Ted the Philip is a cool cat from. Watch the FASTER STRONGER HARDER BETTER remix by K-west lol 😂 kardashian uh 🙄 poor boy! Bloody lyrical genius!
Appreciate the words Michael, you’ve got a way with them 😂 Have a good one and thanks for dropping by!
... is the best form of flattery... I watch dressage riders and I copy them. Watch Alegro for dressage horse references.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about 😅
I know that the guys are inspiration but can you keep the hero worship down a notch and just critique him? All of this gushing over him it’s kind of embarrassing
Bon soir herr , Sir, prince-raja/ lord- BativaRobert! Happy 😊 on this day, bc I’m not happy with my life. Now after, honestly lol 😂 trying hard as kid. ASD or Savant Syndrome? ♾🌈= ASD AWARENESS MOVMET. 43 yrs of my memory, Of which is that @1.5-2yr? I call, the film 🎞 negative, but it’s mostly positive and altruistic YE philanthropic 🤷♂️ but, it’s hard for me, trying not too ! Being try as our focus 🧘♀️ on word! I’m not a realist person henceforth one ☝️ lol 😂 mention that uh 😐 no filter n over sharing. But the ultimate worst thing, it’s sad 😞 I just loved all the things, now in such a sensitive mess that we live in. All bc of, the manipulation ( major issue of ASD) amongst others. Vocalization n change. Never a big SYTYCD or any ( star ⭐️ search 🔍 👀 🧐) lol 😂 I was just a yutt, but I’m, how would that be expression vocal- visual effects of translation lol 😂 and this is when the crickets 🦗 start. Bc I’m trying my hardest! Apropos just like that History channel uh 🙄 when they did that. Not reality-retrospective forget about that lol 😂 had one ☝️ been following the last 52yrs! Huh 🤔 that’s not the analytical 🧐 lol 😂 yup! Here’s your sign 🪧 tbc….
Les Twins please.
Definitely will get to them!
I have a question for you first off i dont mind you calling these dancers great but you cant say they are the greatest of all time you do know they got it from somewhere. The thing is 1977 through the 80s were great dancers you keep saying these guys are the greatest of all time and nobody can do what they do. Well im a dancer one of the best in Sacramento Ca and everything these dancers do we been there done that. But in our era society frowned on our art the skits the story we told the fans were all into it. Poppin was a hood dance not everyone could do it poppin started in Oakland trickling down through the state LA had the lockers to start it off. But you say the greatest of all time. Well i know some guys back in our day put your boys to shame. And everyone of your greatest of all time stole this art from us and got famous for it. In our day it wasn't cool to steal moves we didn't have social media so alot of dancers were not recognized moves that you people do are copied from us and honestly your era is missing something compared to the originals. Your dancers are not the greatest of all time the greatest of all time were the best in their cities in California. We were not allowed to get famous and im insulted when you call them the greatest of all time
Noted, maybe I’ll start using ‘of our generation’ instead, thanks for sharing
your crazy eyes and glare make me nervous.
💨
Who the duck are you!!! Talking about the best of the world. C'mon dude 😒
