This is a strong argument for replacing violence with dance battles. This was just awesome.
yeah but the underlying fuel of the dance becomes aggresion and anger instead of cheerfulness. I guess it ll look a bit different than this
Are u guys fuckind kidding me? That is literally the foundation of the birth of break dancing.
Trial by dance battle
@@Acemancello not sure what you meant by that but I love it!
I suppose the problem is when you dislike losing more than you like dancing. Actually, that's pretty much why violence exists in a nutshell.
You have no idea how incredibly happy this video made me.
I smiled and laughed and cried and now I'm admitting it. I fucking love the power of music and dancing!!
IKR?!!!!💥💣
@@hawkarae right
@@edsonkrug8033 💃😉
You like this check this one out.ua-cam.com/video/F39UP1mjAnc/v-deo.html
Both groups fucking killed it, and they all looked like they had so much fun.
Yeah and they don't use language like 'fucking killed it'
The guy who looks like a history professor shocked me with his moves
Me to 😂😂
Physics professor ! I checked his CV it's impressive btw, Aleix Prats Ferre
@@d0xa320 Yup, the guy has got some serious skills on and off the dancefloor..
Tard LaDoxa he is an actual professor?! That is amazing!!
YESSS LMAOOO
When he slid over there guys, I had hit rewind it like 10 times
We need to bring back public dancing , music, dance halls, festivals, get togethers and we all need to put down the darn electronics ….even teens agree! We are more connected than ever, but alsomore lonely and bored than ever...this makes me envious and hopeful at the same time!
100% agree lol
I agree that’s why I’m going to a Kpop public random dance get-together tomorrow and breaking it down to the sultry tones of Jay Park
I agree
To much of this was red taped by police cracking down on house parties and bars or clubs not allowing more dance offs and becoming to lounge like
I totally agree. And I have learned a nice new english word: alsomore 🙂
There's plenty of us doing this, join in! :)
I love it when you can see the dancers on either side mimicking each other's dancing
Whether they're learning from each other, or they already know the moves and just like to mirror each other, I love seeing it
A lot of hip hop dances come from lindy hop so it’s easy to switch between the two
@@kenny6643 jep... all current dances evolved out of previously existing ones and so on and on..
Older dude with the beard is suave as f***.
Heres what i learned: Hip Hop Dance has lots of Swing elements in it. Lindy and West Coast Swing go great with hip hop music and that dance and music can transcend anything to bring people together... and also that Chic in the yellow dress is a Bad Ass!
Yup. Kind of were invited by the same culture so theres going to be similarities
@@keepinitkawaii 'Invented' is a stretch. Music and dance evolves. Germans invented a lot of instruments leading to modern music and also kicked off the electro and hip hop culture with Kraftwerk.
@@richy69ify sooo lindy hop and hip hop have no cultural ties? Lol of course music evolves, i never denyed that but to say Lindy Hop and Hip Hop in the US have no cultural ties is...a little foolish. My grandparents were dancing Lindy Hop at a time when it first emerged up north and my Dad and uncles got into Hip Hop back during the disco and soul days and during the Vietnam war way before it was even a mainstream style. Of course other cultures added their two cents but in America they have still cultural ties
As a former breakdancer this brought a smile to my face. Love the Soul Train bit mixed in there. 👍
The old man is killing it !! 9:30
silento- watch me
hell yeah
Grandpa has the moves
That slide in was like damn
KILLING IT !
After being alone in COVID isolation for a month, this gave me chills, brought me to tears, and made me realize the human race can come out of a bad situation stronger and smarter than before. Thanks for figuring out that this needs to be a thing.
I need to learn how to dance.
I feel your sentiment to the tips of my fingers and toes. 💞💞💞💞
Hope you’re not cogging out my friend ! I’m replying to your comment just in case you’re bumming , to remind you of this and , by your title I’m guessing ... to support you in this madness . See , humanity can’t do this at 2m . Crisis-Reaction-Solution = NOPE
After seeing my little toddler 2yr old nephew dance to the washing machine cycle, I realise anyone of us can dance :-) JS
this is the most amazing and impressive video we have ever seen. The human race at its fullest potential. This video represents love and unity and that music touches the human race no matter what color you are or race or creed. Music lives in us all . What a blessing to watch this tonight....So much love
i fuckin love what you just wrote ! EXACTLY man exactly, i have the same feeling about it... MUSIC DESTROY BORDERS
I notice that and I wonder if it's related to Montreal? How are race relations there, in general?
@@dianedavidson5283 Having family members that live in that area, it's no worse or better then most of Canada. It's the music and dance that transcends races in this video. No matter what their race is in this video, the dancers are just doing what they love.
They are all super skilled and mega cute, and they obviously have a LOT of fun! I could watch this for hours!
Horrible start to my day, but I found this, and it managed to make me smile while I watched this. This was really unique to watch
That was amazing. I've not been a fan of much fusion. Usually too much Latin and blues is added and it slows the dynamic of Lindy down for me. But, holy crap. These styles blend so perfectly with the music and so much of the basic footwork is the same. When I'm at school (teacher) kids show me their hip hop moves and half of them or remade tap, lindy or Charleston. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
This just proves that dance and music is the key to the soul. I battle with depression everyday and i do my very best to to try and fight it. When i see videos like this and people in there nature element having the best time of there life. It give me the strength and happiness that i think im missing in my life. I love both groups and this is one of the better battles i have seen. Major props to all the competitors.
Hey Mike, just join from wherever you are !!! Throw your limbs around !!
My genre of dancing can be called ' octopus on amphetamine' dance. I don't break any rules of dancing, because I don't know any! 😁
Accept yourself more man, read some Albert Ellis books. At least his " 12 Irrational Beliefs".
Also chapter 14 of the book " Psychological Self-Help".
All available on internet.
Do you know that too much self-criticism leads to depression?
People do that unconsciously ( call it ' the self- critical voice').
What does your self-critical voice say ?
" I am depressed".
" I cannot dance ".
" I am not as fit as these people".
" I do not belong to a group like this".
" I do not have friends".
Phew!!! Your self- critic is really mean!! Next time just tell it to stfu and enjoy, despite imperfections , which we all have.
Best wishes,
Cheerio

Mike... Honestly... Go to a dance class. When I'm dancing and learning I can't think about anything else. It places me right in the moment, which is the only place I've ever found joy. It helps so much.
BOOO
This is freaking awesome why didn't some one come up with this sooner in love
9:30 wins the competition right there and then
Really great that you can really still see the influence the fast and lively lindy hop has to modern dancing. While the vintage dancers are "limited" by their time the modern dancers still have the moves of lindy hop and everything else in between them.
Yeah, I feel like Smoother movement could be accepted in Lindy and Balboa. Stretching the beat, using space, and changing up accents is what makes improvisational music fun.
If I got yelled at every time I through rap rhythms into my jazz solos. I think I would just quite music lol
The best whole 20minutes I’ve spent on UA-cam.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve came back to re watch this video, makes me so happy every time
Swing, krunk, breakin, robot, this is AWESOME! .... Wars should be settled with a dance competition!
That was fresh like a cool breeze on a hot summer day! They're all awesome dancers but that slide at around 9:30 ...Daaaamn! Now THAT'S a move. A joy to watch
Dat Slide @ 9:30
Amazing. Soo amazing. I could watch for hours. And the more I watch, the more I wish I could dance.
This brought a tear to my eye. It’s just pure happiness with various cultures. Beautiful.
I would give anything, and I mean anything to be part of that. You're all so lucky. I love you all so much and wish you the best!
I'm 51 now and been dancing to electronic dance since I was 10 to Kraft work then Electro funk hip hop original jazz funk as in the original version of shuffling. then all the styles of house. but whats amazing as you know from old films a lot of the best dance moves from even further back than the 20's are still used today In our most up to date dance music. Dancing to me Is the best form of self expressive creative Integration socialising magic.
After seeing this for the umphteenth time, I still have to acknowledge this as the single most bestest video on UA-cam.
What an amazing event. I thrilled every moment of dance .
It wasn't battle but socializing and make friends heartedly
This is the greatest dance battle I've seen in a long time
I don't think I get more than one of these but I'm gonna use it here. I'm pretty sure this is the best thing on the internet. Just the spirit of this event, the skill this competition brings out in both the teams. It gets me every time! It makes me feel in love with everyone involved. I don't even... I just... This is it! I gotta like move to Montreal.
they've got me to applaud at the pc
+Ovidiu Catalin Haha, likewise! :) The doggies thought I was nuts. ;)
Dude, I started flicking my fingers to those moves, wow
Me Too
It makes u feel alive I just want to jump through my phone and dance on that floor 😂
FANTASTIC!
This is how all fights and wars ought to be settled. :)
Bravo, people, bravo.
Wars and horse you need to ask yourself the meaning of GOV God Organisation Victoria. Reality is the street dancers who come from Every Corner of the world unrehearsed call freestyle
YES!
I wouldnt be even mad if we loose xD
I am pleasantly surprised at how many street styles match swing. Inspiring.
9:31 when she takes his birthday off her bio.
This is without a doubt one of the best videos I've ever seen in my life
Holy shit, the bearded dude's smooth top Rock was already impressive, then he just pulls off the coolest slide to entrance I've ever seen
9:30 that's one smooth move
Not a big fan of modern street dancing but after seeing this I have a greater appreciation for it as you can see where it evolved from.
This is just great!! The vibes!! The happiness!! The excitement!! At the end it doesn’t matter who won. Everyone who was a part of all this is the winner!!! Just thanks 🙏🏽
That boys slide entrance , EPIC.!!!!😲😲😲
These people are unbelievable
this makes me so dang happy
smiled the whole way through 🤗
Simply awesome
This really is awesome! Dance Battle WITH respect and EVERYONE having fun....
Absolute madness. I haven't seen such good male dancers and female dancers in a long time. Simply world class more than 6 stars that is professional league. Top athletic power and super agility and super dancing. Wowwww. Greetings from Germany !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously THE most entertaining thing I have seen in a long time
This is the single greatest thing I have ever watched in my entire whole life
I was just listening to Parov Stelar's Booty Swing audio when I thought, it would be cool to dance like hip hop to this, so I searched for swing hip hop...and VOILA!!! Amazing surprise. Thank you! This is beyond what I imagined. BRAVO INDEED.
One of the BEST videos on UA-cam for all those that LOVE music and dance!!!! F Awesome!!!
Wow. I loved this. Clearly a wide group of friends, doing what they love. Keep it up!
And everything old is new again...
yup
It must have been amazing to see this in person... because it's amazing on video!
9:31 crushed me
All these dancers are awesome! I enjoyed watching this video, this is what life is all about, go out and have clean fun.
great dancing again... the sliding at 9:30 rocked !
Oh my gosh! What a beautiful bunch of people. This was so fun to watch. Inspired
4:12 my heart started beating faster, when she started waacking, lol.
Best female in the entire dance
SAME HERE! I wondered if anyone else would mention the waacking. It’s one of those styles that seems simple enough to do but it’s so hard to pull off as well as she does. All the props!
I had to say something about 4:12 too. Fire!
Wow!!!!!!
That was incredible!!!
My face is actually aching, from the stupid, big grin I have had on it through this entire dance!!!
Pre-illness, I used to dance.....Ballroom, Latin American and American Line Dancing.....I miss it soooooo much!!!!
I did learn the Jive, but never Swing Dance.
I would encourage everyone to get out there and learn to dance!! It's the best feeling in the world!!
Feeling such a deep joy watching them dance!
Superb! Among the best dance preformance I have ever seen! Hats of to entire crew!
This is so freakin’ awesome. I wish I could have been there! The energy is so amazing! WOW!
one of the best videos I ever see here in youtube!!!! 5 stars!!!!!
What an amazing exchange between styles!
Half way thru and now one of my fav videos of all time thank you

I wish I could have around me a vintage dance gang like this.
This video made me super happy!

This video made me try out swing. So great.
Watched this on my big screen and all I can say is that this is amazing. Why isn't this a thing? Loved every bit of it.
Music and dancing,makes the world go round,this is some powerful stuff.
Duuuuude!! Lmao. I had to watch it twice to believe what I just saw. That is just insane! Remind me to visit Swing Riot if I ever come to Canada. I watched a *lot* of Lindy Hop finals and the like but this beats them all!
What a show!! Crossover is the best part of this battle!
Love the mix and the atmosphere!!
LOVE THE CROSSOVER! More please!!
It's so much fun to watch this. Love it! I'm reliving the ancient times so often.
Here's a thousands of moments, I love them all!

I smiled the entire time. Such incredible dancers I hope to one day dance like. #inspiration
