once you start watching more of les twins, you would be able to tell them apart better and you won’t even see them as twins after a while if that made sense
Yep that's so true, I forget they're twins most of the time! Sometimes I'm like surprised to see that they look alike at certain angles in pictures or videos lmao
I've been following the twins for about 4 years now, and to be honest i still don't know shit about dance in general, i just think that it's extremely entertaining to see them perform so when i see someone like you (robert) that truly understands dance explain why they are good, it's kinda like you're explaining something that i knew but couldn't put in words, so thank you man, i'm now even more curious about the whole dancing community in general. Great video! I hope that you make a WMTDG on Paradox, i reaaally enjoy seeing him also!
Thanks for watching, glad you found it interesting. Highly suggest you go to a local event and check out the talent, there’s so many great dancers out here, and who knows maybe you could be one of them :)
You picked GREAT videos for this episode of Les Twins! I really appreciate you choosing the Harvard video because a lot of people look over that video.
you probably dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend lately :)
Yes! There is so much more to talk about concerning Larry and Laurent. The first thing I noticed about them was their faces that could have been drawn by Renaissance masters. Les Twins are thé most conscious performers of any kind that utilize facial expression in concert with other movements. I would argue that they are the greatest poets of physical expression as well as important dancers. When I first saw them dance on NBC WOD, I was struck by the range of dance style they had in hand, especially the posture foundation from classical ballet. For me, Laurent seems to echo and build so much on Nijinsky’s work in the manner of starkly confronting the viewer with depths of emotion. (The emotional reaction you were apologizing for is perhaps the most important aspect of their performance abilities. The ability to draw an emotional response and command attention is an earmark of truly great artists.) Their musicality and visual presentation of themselves (their attention to style, clothing, hair, accessories) serves the impact of their performances well. I see the over a century of French aesthetics in Les Twins. They have clearly soaked up a remarkable amount of cultural references from everywhere and are very contemporary, but they also reflect the genius particular to France from Baudelaire and Rimbaud to Le Belle Epoch in Montmartre to Cocteau to Guimard’s Art Deco wrought iron to Duchamp and Matisse. I could go on and on. I prefer Laurent as an artist because he is always reaching for more and has offered so many moments of sheer poetry on the street and in workshops. I love their complete choreographies and sometimes I am disappointed when I thought they should have prepared better for paid performances, but they work hard and exhaust themselves all too often. I have to state that I am an informed aficionado of all the arts, a visual artist with a background in dance. Les Twins have fascinated me more than any artists during my long lifetime. I don’t think I’m alone in finding an answer in them that I have been seeking in the arts. I hope that their material is well archived and the right biographer will understand the place they deserve in the timeline of art history. I am grateful for being able to experience Les Twin’s achievement. They shine a great light. Thank you for your enthusiastic willingness to elucidate their dance techniques in greater detail. I very much appreciate what you are doing.
Why thank you very much! They are definitely two of the best that have ever lived. And by the way this comment is aLos a work of art, ever think about doing commentary? 🤣🤷♂️
thank you SR. so well observed and beautifully put into words. poetry. it did move me to tears. feel just the same about these two incredible artists and especially laurent, but could not have ever expressed it the way you did. it comforts me a lot to see i'm not the only one feeling this way about their work of art - and hence them as individuals with immensely deep souls. love and peace, marina

I love how they feed off of the twin thing but remain separate in identity and individuality. Twins have a hard time with that. They develope a type of syndrome where they believe they are the same person sometimes. But if you watch these two enough, the difference between them jumps out at you. Laurant is driven by feeling is how I take it. Sorry if I spelled the name wrong. He gets lost in the music, it's really nice to see people still do that.
Great video! If you do videos analyzing them both individually, you should definitely check out their more emotional performances such as Larry dancing to "My Mind" by Yebba and Laurent dancing to "In The Morning" by Nao (mostly the one at the Diesel event). It shows different sides of them that I love.
You did an amazing job. It is a treat to hear another dancer talk about Les Twins dancing because it opens up a whole new appreciation of their craft for me. I knew they incorporated may styles into their dance which is a rarity in the hip hop world but I love how you taught us specifics as you critiqued their performances. This reaction was very eye opening!
your analysis is always on point! I'm always amazed at how well you verbalize all the details and how deep you know about all kinds of dances. like I had no idea Laurent's spin looks like a move from Georgian traditional dance! Thank you for the video and please do keep making more of these I love them!
@@dasharay4127wow! can you tell me the name of the dance or the videos to go to? I've seen something sort of similar in Cossack dance but not exactly the same as Laurent's.

Always a great analysis ! I couldn't agree more with you about their footwork and isolations, they're simply insane ! Keep going what you do and I hope we make a(nother) video bro !
Rob, you are a fucking beast. Your sytycd audition was what first got me interested in dance, and remains my favorite dance video of all time. Then, (through a plasteed video of yours) I found you again! You are a great personality digitally and physically. Keep it up, forever if possible!
I think their dance-style format is what makes them stand out, it is not always the same movements each time with the same songs, and hit beats or instrument sounds, using as much from the music, even the lyrics. I expect this is why it is called free-style. Larry and Laurent dance differently, and I also enjoy when they perform together. You have to understand that their physic is strong and their leanness. I love watching dancing in general, I think it is extremely creative.
Hearing from a skilled dancer about the more techical side of things as opposed to your basic reaction really gives these videos an added dimension. Good work!
First off, Robert, it’s super cool to listen to a dancer’s reaction to Les Twins as it adds more depth to the analysis, so thank you for this! I love how you mentioned attributes that only Les Twins have, such as their physical interpretation of music, unique choreography that includes solos, their stories through dance, and distinctions between the two. As for their personality, it’s actually what I love about them, and you can see how their personalities reflect in the music they dance to .. through raw talent, being genuine, goofy, and overall mesmerizing. I’ve never seen dancers whose moves are faster than the human eye could catch if you know what I mean. Amazing reaction & insight 💚
I want to stop my watching binge here and now , to say..THANK YOU Because I was hit with the realization that you are so kindly taking time to explain in the technical terminology what it is we are watching. You see , I'm kind of an undercover intellectual , with the passion for "Dubstep" , but frankly I'm the only one I know. So I have no knowledge of terms , move names etc. So , again thank you for reminding that part of your job as a master is to always be teaching. Here's an e-hug for you directly.🙂🌻
Man, i super loved your commentary! Thanks so much for posting this, it's really great! My favorite parts were when you pointed out at 2:23 how they are one with the music, that they are the physical interpretation of the music,- i couldn't agree more! I sometimes feel like they are creating the music, they are so connected to it that it seems as though the music is coming straight from their bodies. My other favorite was when you spoke about their musicality later in the video. This was so cool to watch & I could tell you really read all the comments on the last video about some of the differences between Larry & Laurent. You have such a cool attitude, i love it & i can see why you have a following here. Loved your appreciation of Larry's technicality & also Laurent's ability in the realm of contemporary as well ("Contempo-Lau"😂)...you have to watch their audition video for WOD 2017 if you haven't already. It's really beautiful & incredibly moving. 💛💛💛😊 *Subscribed, btw*👈👍🏼😁
If we'll start talking about musicality we can't ignore one of great talents in the game right now " Waydi " .. and i think you should add him to the list of this series
Ok, so Larry is known more for his legwork.... Laurent does more floor work and he is the one that does the bend to the floor and pick himself back up.
Hi, thnx for sharing about Les Twins, I'm somewhat new to watching hip hop dancing, I never really really had an interest until I watched their video of the WOD performances, they're so mesmerizing n incredibly amazing dancers, it seems to come so natural to them. I loved how u described everything about them. Ppl like yourself are so fortunate to know n meet them in person, they seem to be so down to earth n amazing with those who they interact with, having their workshops tells a lot about how they want to make a difference in ppl's lives, they're beautiful souls inside n out*
Robert could you do overviews on dance scenes/cultures? It seems france has a really unique vibe with dancers like killason and criminals crew, but i cant seem to find how they draw their lineage/diverge from american dance.
This was a very great video! I wish you had also watched their SFMOMA performance, it's my favorite, and I think it really shows how much they have evolved (even though it's from two years ago).
I want to thank you! I am from Russia, and do not speak English, I understand it terribly from speaking, but I understand it tolerably when reading. And I thank you for a good video. I understood more than half of what I heard and thanks to your beautifully thought out diction, the subtitles were accurate. Of the many reviews that I saw, your one of the best. You really understand what you are talking about. And you consider many points of view. As with Greentech. Thank you, you pleasantly surprised me and incredibly pleased.
@@llmrfantasticllGoogle translate is a great power. The main thing is to choose the right words. I'm actually glad I came across your videos, too bad you don't have many reviews. You're good. Like your dancing. I've seen it many times, I just didn't know it was you. Another pleasant discovery for me.
Crazy Owl well you must be pretty articulate because google translate tends to hack the language into strange pieces. Either way thanks again for you’re compliment! Always much appreciated :)
I actually got to see them dance last Saturday and it took my breathe away. It was so amazing I'm kinda bummed that I didn't participate in the workshop but I had an amazing time. They are truly some of the best dancers that ever lived! I loved this videos thanks for making another one💜💚💙
Please keep it up.these kind of commentary videos are so important for the dance community especially when the dancer commenting himself is one of the best.You,les twins,nonstop,philip chbeeb,david elsewhere,poppin john,storyboard p etc.. changed the game wether you guys realize it or not.there are too many dancers these days trying to recreate the 90s and the 80s popping scene they lack originality and innovation however you and others mentioned above stood out and took it to a whole new level.
WOW! First thank you - I really enjoyed you digging deeper and explaining their every move! I don’t consider them dancers anymore they entertain, they tell stories and keep the audience engaged... love love love them
I honestly love this video so much more. You actually reacted and gave honest feedback that I honestly respected. I really enjoyed this video and I will love to watch more. My opinion and video has changed from the last video I just watched.
I love the dance style of both Lau and Larry but I particularly love how deep in the pocket Lau dances. I picked up on that the first time I saw them dance years ago. To me Lau’s a dancer’s dancer. His squats are deeper, his stance wider, just bigger movements. Not a criticism of Larry, who Yes, has phenomenal footwork, just an observation of Lau...and yes, I’ve seen Lau dance more “ghetto” or true hip hop. I’ve seen him go there, not often enough for me but when he does more hip hop it’s always a treat. I believe he just prefers his own style. I saw a post once by someone who posted that Lau can dance Larry’s style but Larry can’t generally follow Lau’s style. Lately though I’ve seen Larry start to incorporate some of Lau’s slower more lyrical moves.
It doesn't always have to be funny. Dance has sooooo many faces (you all know that), so being serious or even dramatic is ok. In my opinion it's also not a proper entertainment as the emotions and movements come from the heart and they (Laurry) mean everything they express. That's that for the first clip hihi. Loved what you said about the "letting it breath" tho, totally agreed.
@@serafay4859 ua-cam.com/play/PLH0XeJd-3-iQVbL39QAab9XUPE8UGR_iP.html oh wait, you mean the first version of this particular video, it’s long gone forever!
Loved the review! I’m completely biased cause I’m a LT fan🥰 but still... I enjoyed your commentary on different styles of dance and dance culture nuances. Definitely gonna go watch your first review of them 👍🏽
Hi Robert . Interesting how we both came up with the word organic to describe the twins independentally of one another . I gained a little respect back for them . The second video is when I fell in love with them . They got so mean after I kind of stopped watching them after Salah faced both of them at once. Did you see the battle , Salah beat both of les twins in a 1v2. They were getting mean around that time period. I wouldn’t have never guessed . I watched as Laurent leaned that multiple spinning turns along the ground without the hands. He perfected it over years in earlier videos he would use his hands and do the same move. Then he learned to do like 2 turns along the ground without hands. Then 3, then 4. Now he can do a full circle and it’s sick . Reminds me of when Salah dos that wacky horizontal cartwheels. Robert. Truly, you should go for World of Dance . I know inside you have more content than before. Your incredible talent is inspiring Rob. Whether or not that is the path you choose is your choice . I do not have any doubt in your skill level. Further more. I reccommend you do a video on Kite. He has so much content online and I think he has the fastest footwork in the popping world. He needs one more than future. This guy is an OG, his poses are unique and his freestyle looks choreographed . If I remember to post a few of my favorite videos I will here . Peace and love brother, Danny
@@danpiedra9008 I did see that battle, it's one of the most reacted to battles on youtube, so i didn't want to review the same clip, but it is a great battle. I love salah. The twins def keep leveling up, but you are right I'm afraid, they're continuously getting more and more aggressive. Which is odd to me because they're killing it, what is there left to prove? Fame is a difficult thing to deal with, they need to stop reading the comment section LOL World of Dance, Ive considered. If nothing ttoo crazy comes up in 2020 or 2021, and i find myself back stateside, i may give it a shot. I have lots of new material. I just had a bad taste in my mouth from my SYTYCD experience. As for the haircut, thanks! My gf thinks the same thing, I do the side part for my act in the show, it's more 'in character' with the suit and all. Thanks for watching and your 2 cents!
Hey man, great series so far ! Do you accept to analyze pure hip hop dancers ? I want to suggest Zyko as a first pick. Would love to help you discover the new generation ! Keep the series strong !
Larry’s style is far more versatile. Don’t get me wrong, Laurent can truly take the spotlight, but there’s more of an intricacy to his dancing. He’ll refrain from hitting certain instrumentals to tell a bigger story and more times than not that goes over people head. But that makes his skill subjective to whoever’s watching. Some people will feel that he dropped the song While others may feel he just pulled a technical masterpiece. One thing that’s for sure is that Larry has NEVER disappointed. Sometimes he’s fallen behind his brother because his technical musicality doesn’t fit with every song. Meaning that even if he is hitting beats.. if the song isn’t bass/808 oriented.. his style won’t be as impactful as Laurent. So in a way you can say, Laurent does better at lyric-based songs and Larry does better to multi layered instrumentals.
I believe Les Twins are freaking amazing and have such natural talent in dance. So unique. I'm not a dancer so I could be totally wrong but if I could critique them as dancers (in my opinion) is their transitions/ resetswhen they freestyle. It seems like they don't always have fluidity when they dance. Obviously some of these videos are old so I know they improved a lot over time. Even currently it seems like thats still a critique I have of them. Hopefully having Slim Boogie a part of their crew now can teach them certain things
Just my preference, but I think these videos would be even more immersing if you separated the watching and commentary bits. I just think that its hard to focus on one or the other when you're constantly speaking throughout the video. Other than that, I love watching your videos! Keep it up!
hey robert, thank you for this. well done. you were being very fair this time (i.e. after the first version ; )) and i have a lot of respect for this. your professional observations and comments about all the details are great and very helpful to a non-dancer like myself. another little info which you might be glad to know... you talk about les twins' 'training' and how it is common in france for dancers to learn lots of different dance styles. don't know if i'm the only one who interpreted it this way, but it kind of implies that larry and laurent actually went to (lots of different) dance classes. as far as i know (and although i have met them twice, this is something i only read) les twins never went to a single dance class. instead, they have been dancing since their early childhood. apparently, six of their seven siblings (yes, there being nine in total ; )) are dancers, as well as their mum. thanks again and all the best, marina
@@llmrfantasticll it was probably them themselves teaching the class already back then?! ; ) well, all i know is that they were raised in very modest circumstances and only by their mother (they don't know their father). it's therefore hard to imagine that their mum would have had the means to pay for any classes for any of her nine children.
They can REALLY fucking *dance* if they want to. I personally love it when they bring out that little exstra attitude that usually larry embodies...gaddamn. Only while dancing though please. Good video, and informative, because i had no clue about all the styles they mix.. i have always loved dance and music..particularly hip hop and krump and dancehall, but other than that i know very little and also not alot about those. not really a dancer myself because ive been way too shy.though ive taken some dance classes here and there i wish i had started dancing ealier while i was an infant, like les twins. lol.
Do what makes a dancer great on Diablo he use to be on the same crew with les twins but he went back to his old crew genesis he won the recent juste debout
the original spell of their name is indeed "less twins" but it became letwins because the majority kept saying letwins. they often tell this on interviews:D
Rob, so happy to see you hosting your own show. I remember you back in the early days of dancing and always thought you were amazingly crazy. Thank you for your contribution to the art and we all love you. Here's on of my favorite Les Twins dance videos to the song Nancy - Kid Da Wiz ua-cam.com/video/YoFlAl7ulr0/v-deo.html
i was wondering the same and this is what i found in some battle rules: commando - a tag team style of routine where two or more members of the same crew switch places during a set.
Larry actually threw a little bit of shade , if u notice at 9:18 larry told laurent that he wasnt on beat like a bboy then laughed at them and threw a thumbs down
I haven’t seen the whole clip, just skimmed through it. I didn’t put it in the video because I saw so many other reacting to it. Although I might save it for the epic battles series ;)
“Lay” Twins. We as Americans generally pronounce it wrong. In French “Les” means “The” as in The Twins. I personally cringe when people pronounce it like “Less” Twins. Although yes, I’ve heard both Lau and Larry pronounce it like “less” Twins, I honestly believe they do it bc we Americans pronounce it that way and it’s just a convenience. We should pronounce it correctly, however, IMO. I have a literary degree so sorry, I hate misspelling and/or mispronouncing words. A fractional hang up of mine. ✌🏽😊. Good analogy, btw.
@ mimzy1124 Lassiter Since it's a name, I think we should pronounce it the way the owner of the name pronounces it. They created it and should be the ones to determine how it's pronounced. It's "Les Twins" not "Les Jumeaux" which actually means the twins in French. Laurent and Larry were creative with a mixture of French and English. It's their name. Follow their lead. And what's wrong with "the" before the name of the group. The name of the group is Les Twins not The Twins. Americans tried to translate it and correct like we love to do. If Larry and Laurent say "the" before the name of their group, I accept the Les Twins.
charmain glass Exactly what I’m saying. THEY, though have revised it, THAT is the way Americans pronounce it. They started out with the real pronunciation as “Lay” Twins and still, occasionally pronounce it that way. In an interview they even clarified that as the pronunciation. These posts do not equate a moratorium on anything. If YOU prefer to pronounce it “Less” Twins...be my guess. I was merely clarifying it as to how THEY themselves have clarified it. I believe it might be appropriate to say, no sweat off my nose personally how you pronounce it. I made no demands here, just an observation. Some may follow it, apparently some won’t, and either is okay with me. That’s “lay” truth. 😊
I understand what you're saying but to me Little Crab and his partner are contortions that is not dancing they were not on beat with the music it was nothing but showing us you're double jointed to me that is not dancing and everybody has their own opinion and that's mine
I think they’re at their best when they freestyle
Agreed.
once you start watching more of les twins, you would be able to tell them apart better and you won’t even see them as twins after a while if that made sense

No problem at all that’s what I’m here for! Thanks for watching :)
Laurent had a necklace too before but now he don’t use it while larry using it everyday
i recently found out that it broke during a performance
Yes
Man, i super loved your commentary! Thanks so much for posting this, it's really great! My favorite parts were when you pointed out at 2:23 how they are one with the music, that they are the physical interpretation of the music,- i couldn't agree more! I sometimes feel like they are creating the music, they are so connected to it that it seems as though the music is coming straight from their bodies. My other favorite was when you spoke about their musicality later in the video. This was so cool to watch & I could tell you really read all the comments on the last video about some of the differences between Larry & Laurent. You have such a cool attitude, i love it & i can see why you have a following here. Loved your appreciation of Larry's technicality & also Laurent's ability in the realm of contemporary as well ("Contempo-Lau"😂)...you have to watch their audition video for WOD 2017 if you haven't already. It's really beautiful & incredibly moving. 💛💛💛😊
*Subscribed, btw*👈👍🏼😁
Aw good glad you enjoyed and welcome to the channel! Hope you check out some of the other great dancers! Cheers!
@@llmrfantasticll Absolutely will!🤘🏼😊
If we'll start talking about musicality we can't ignore one of great talents in the game right now " Waydi " .. and i think you should add him to the list of this series
Love Love Love Les Twins 🥰🔥🔥🔥❤️
Ok, so Larry is known more for his legwork.... Laurent does more floor work and he is the one that does the bend to the floor and pick himself back up.
I love how in sync they are....As a twin myself, it's something you can only have with a twin bond.
Hi, thnx for sharing about Les Twins, I'm somewhat new to watching hip hop dancing, I never really really had an interest until I watched their video of the WOD performances, they're so mesmerizing n incredibly amazing dancers, it seems to come so natural to them. I loved how u described everything about them. Ppl like yourself are so fortunate to know n meet them in person, they seem to be so down to earth n amazing with those who they interact with, having their workshops tells a lot about how they want to make a difference in ppl's lives, they're beautiful souls inside n out*
What makes Bouboo a great dancer? He’s in the same crew as Les Twins
Yes, Bouboo is a great dancer.
so slept on
Robert could you do overviews on dance scenes/cultures? It seems france has a really unique vibe with dancers like killason and criminals crew, but i cant seem to find how they draw their lineage/diverge from american dance.
This was a very great video! I wish you had also watched their SFMOMA performance, it's my favorite, and I think it really shows how much they have evolved (even though it's from two years ago).
Thanks much! Ill def check it out :D Thanks for watching
yes, I loved that performance too. Always go back to watch it.
No
Twins in Chains and King of Musicality videos are what hooked into their fandom. I enjoy these analysis vids🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
Nice I need to check those out!
I want to thank you! I am from Russia, and do not speak English, I understand it terribly from speaking, but I understand it tolerably when reading.
And I thank you for a good video. I understood more than half of what I heard and thanks to your beautifully thought out diction, the subtitles were accurate.
Of the many reviews that I saw, your one of the best. You really understand what you are talking about. And you consider many points of view. As with Greentech.
Thank you, you pleasantly surprised me and incredibly pleased.
Thanks for your wonderful compliment! For not speaking English, you write it incredibly well. Thanks for watching and have a good one!
@@llmrfantasticllGoogle translate is a great power. The main thing is to choose the right words. I'm actually glad I came across your videos, too bad you don't have many reviews. You're good. Like your dancing. I've seen it many times, I just didn't know it was you. Another pleasant discovery for me.
Crazy Owl well you must be pretty articulate because google translate tends to hack the language into strange pieces. Either way thanks again for you’re compliment! Always much appreciated :)
@@llmrfantasticllAlways ready to speak a good word. If the work is done well, the author should know about it. Good work deserves to be appreciated.
I think these dudes might be the greatest dancers i have ever known like how they dance its really amazing
🧐
You're a better dancer than any dancers you have showcased. I don't subscribe, but, you're just too knowledgeable so I subscribed
I want to see the old episode PLEASE REUPLOAD
I actually got to see them dance last Saturday and it took my breathe away. It was so amazing I'm kinda bummed that I didn't participate in the workshop but I had an amazing time. They are truly some of the best dancers that ever lived! I loved this videos thanks for making another one💜💚💙
both of them know both parts to each of their routines.
Please keep it up.these kind of commentary videos are so important for the dance community especially when the dancer commenting himself is one of the best.You,les twins,nonstop,philip chbeeb,david elsewhere,poppin john,storyboard p etc.. changed the game wether you guys realize it or not.there are too many dancers these days trying to recreate the 90s and the 80s popping scene they lack originality and innovation however you and others mentioned above stood out and took it to a whole new level.
Appreciate that :)
Awww third clip, you got it maaaan! The magic in between the beats!!
WOW! First thank you - I really enjoyed you digging deeper and explaining their every move! I don’t consider them dancers anymore they entertain, they tell stories and keep the audience engaged... love love love them
Word
I honestly love this video so much more. You actually reacted and gave honest feedback that I honestly respected. I really enjoyed this video and I will love to watch more. My opinion and video has changed from the last video I just watched.
I love the dance style of both Lau and Larry but I particularly love how deep in the pocket Lau dances. I picked up on that the first time I saw them dance years ago. To me Lau’s a dancer’s dancer. His squats are deeper, his stance wider, just bigger movements. Not a criticism of Larry, who Yes, has phenomenal footwork, just an observation of Lau...and yes, I’ve seen Lau dance more “ghetto” or true hip hop. I’ve seen him go there, not often enough for me but when he does more hip hop it’s always a treat. I believe he just prefers his own style. I saw a post once by someone who posted that Lau can dance Larry’s style but Larry can’t generally follow Lau’s style. Lately though I’ve seen Larry start to incorporate some of Lau’s slower more lyrical moves.
Nice!!
Best dancers in the world
they are best dancers in world💖
The episode 16 react for Waydi. Please!
The battle 😍 Les twins x Waydi , rochka
Waydi is beast.
I love Waydi's free-style.
It doesn't always have to be funny. Dance has sooooo many faces (you all know that), so being serious or even dramatic is ok. In my opinion it's also not a proper entertainment as the emotions and movements come from the heart and they (Laurry) mean everything they express. That's that for the first clip hihi. Loved what you said about the "letting it breath" tho, totally agreed.
I love your videos! Thank you so much for Sharing your insights. I Would Love to watch the First Version of This. Can i still find it somewhere?
Search what makes this dancer great under playlists instead of videos
@@llmrfantasticll I only find this one. Also in the Playlists. Am I missing something?
@@serafay4859 ua-cam.com/play/PLH0XeJd-3-iQVbL39QAab9XUPE8UGR_iP.html oh wait, you mean the first version of this particular video, it’s long gone forever!
@@llmrfantasticll Ahh, pity! I hope you didn’t take it off because of the naysayers. This vid is still dope. thanks for replying!
Loved the review! I’m completely biased cause I’m a LT fan🥰 but still... I enjoyed your commentary on different styles of dance and dance culture nuances. Definitely gonna go watch your first review of them 👍🏽
Thanks!!
Love Les Twins best dancers
Hi Robert . Interesting how we both came up with the word organic to describe the twins independentally of one another . I gained a little respect back for them . The second video is when I fell in love with them . They got so mean after I kind of stopped watching them after Salah faced both of them at once. Did you see the battle , Salah beat both of les twins in a 1v2. They were getting mean around that time period. I wouldn’t have never guessed . I watched as Laurent leaned that multiple spinning turns along the ground without the hands. He perfected it over years in earlier videos he would use his hands and do the same move. Then he learned to do like 2 turns along the ground without hands. Then 3, then 4. Now he can do a full circle and it’s sick . Reminds me of when Salah dos that wacky horizontal cartwheels.
Robert. Truly, you should go for World of Dance . I know inside you have more content than before. Your incredible talent is inspiring Rob. Whether or not that is the path you choose is your choice . I do not have any doubt in your skill level.
Further more. I reccommend you do a video on Kite. He has so much content online and I think he has the fastest footwork in the popping world. He needs one more than future. This guy is an OG, his poses are unique and his freestyle looks choreographed . If I remember to post a few of my favorite videos I will here .
Peace and love brother,
Danny
P.s that haircut is lit on you.
You look about 2 years younger with that do
@@danpiedra9008 I did see that battle, it's one of the most reacted to battles on youtube, so i didn't want to review the same clip, but it is a great battle. I love salah. The twins def keep leveling up, but you are right I'm afraid, they're continuously getting more and more aggressive. Which is odd to me because they're killing it, what is there left to prove? Fame is a difficult thing to deal with, they need to stop reading the comment section LOL
World of Dance, Ive considered. If nothing ttoo crazy comes up in 2020 or 2021, and i find myself back stateside, i may give it a shot. I have lots of new material. I just had a bad taste in my mouth from my SYTYCD experience.
As for the haircut, thanks! My gf thinks the same thing, I do the side part for my act in the show, it's more 'in character' with the suit and all.
Thanks for watching and your 2 cents!
Hey man, great series so far !
Do you accept to analyze pure hip hop dancers ? I want to suggest Zyko as a first pick. Would love to help you discover the new generation !
Keep the series strong !
Good JOB!! You just became my favorite you-tuber✊🏼
Yay!
And they let greenteck judge these guys?!?!
You gotta be joking right?
Always a treat. As always thank you : )
Thanks for watching Mr Watson :)
Larry’s style is far more versatile.
Don’t get me wrong, Laurent can truly take the spotlight, but there’s more of an intricacy to his dancing. He’ll refrain from hitting certain instrumentals to tell a bigger story and more times than not that goes over people head. But that makes his skill subjective to whoever’s watching.
Some people will feel that he dropped the song
While others may feel he just pulled a technical masterpiece.
One thing that’s for sure is that Larry has NEVER disappointed. Sometimes he’s fallen behind his brother because his technical musicality doesn’t fit with every song. Meaning that even if he is hitting beats.. if the song isn’t bass/808 oriented.. his style won’t be as impactful as Laurent.
So in a way you can say, Laurent does better at lyric-based songs and Larry does better to multi layered instrumentals.
I believe Les Twins are freaking amazing and have such natural talent in dance. So unique.
I'm not a dancer so I could be totally wrong but if I could critique them as dancers (in my opinion) is their transitions/ resetswhen they freestyle. It seems like they don't always have fluidity when they dance. Obviously some of these videos are old so I know they improved a lot over time. Even currently it seems like thats still a critique I have of them. Hopefully having Slim Boogie a part of their crew now can teach them certain things
Just my preference, but I think these videos would be even more immersing if you separated the watching and commentary bits. I just think that its hard to focus on one or the other when you're constantly speaking throughout the video. Other than that, I love watching your videos! Keep it up!
Is your video 'reacting' to Les Twins still available?
Where is the other video that is being referenced? Was it deleted?
Gone! Vanished. Bye bye bye!
Thats the explanation at 13:57 why i love them. They can do all in 1 with influence from other cultures
How do I watch the older version? Just out of curiosity
Ya can’t! Lol
Les twins FOREVER !
Eyy les go
you need to feature female dancers as well . Mary Poppins and Jaja.
hey robert, thank you for this. well done. you were being very fair this time (i.e. after the first version ; )) and i have a lot of respect for this. your professional observations and comments about all the details are great and very helpful to a non-dancer like myself. another little info which you might be glad to know... you talk about les twins' 'training' and how it is common in france for dancers to learn lots of different dance styles. don't know if i'm the only one who interpreted it this way, but it kind of implies that larry and laurent actually went to (lots of different) dance classes. as far as i know (and although i have met them twice, this is something i only read) les twins never went to a single dance class. instead, they have been dancing since their early childhood. apparently, six of their seven siblings (yes, there being nine in total ; )) are dancers, as well as their mum. thanks again and all the best, marina
I’ve heard many accounts from many dancers that they seen em in class back in the day!
@@llmrfantasticll it was probably them themselves teaching the class already back then?! ; ) well, all i know is that they were raised in very modest circumstances and only by their mother (they don't know their father). it's therefore hard to imagine that their mum would have had the means to pay for any classes for any of her nine children.
In a social democracy, like France, you would be surprised at the amount of aid they give people for the arts and education.
They can REALLY fucking *dance* if they want to. I personally love it when they bring out that little exstra attitude that usually larry embodies...gaddamn. Only while dancing though please. Good video, and informative, because i had no clue about all the styles they mix.. i have always loved dance and music..particularly hip hop and krump and dancehall, but other than that i know very little and also not alot about those. not really a dancer myself because ive been way too shy.though ive taken some dance classes here and there i wish i had started dancing ealier while i was an infant, like les twins. lol.
Glad I was able to provide some insight :) thanks for watching :)
Very nice video, thanks!
Keep it up bro! Great video series.
Thank you!
Do More Of Them PLSSSS
Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
The first video you did on les twins was my favourite, your comments were so interesting 🙁
For epic battles you should do Les Twins vs Lil O & Tiger B
So where is it the other ep 15... can you link it or you've deleted it tx
Gone foreva!
@@llmrfantasticll aiight!
Larry has some videos where he is popping and it's actually the best I have ever seen. You should look for it.
Do what makes a dancer great on Diablo he use to be on the same crew with les twins but he went back to his old crew genesis he won the recent juste debout
Finally
Well you are still the best
🙏🙏🙏🙆♂️
React to more of their battles!!! awesome vid!!
Nice reaction and french bro ^^
😅
the original spell of their name is indeed "less twins" but it became letwins because the majority kept saying letwins. they often tell this on interviews:D
Rob, so happy to see you hosting your own show. I remember you back in the early days of dancing and always thought you were amazingly crazy. Thank you for your contribution to the art and we all love you. Here's on of my favorite Les Twins dance videos to the song Nancy - Kid Da Wiz ua-cam.com/video/YoFlAl7ulr0/v-deo.html
lau can do some crazy isolations too. his ticking is out of this world
I love lerry style
Gotto love em💘
Please react on more les twins dance videos. We love a great dancer to react on another great dancers video ...please.....
But like, I already did!
Can you do a video where you review their dance styles individually? Like one video can be about Larry freestyling and one about Lau freestyling?
Yup! I’ll do one in the next couple of weeks, I need to chill on the Twins for a minute, thanks for watching!
jhon ram yea they’re freestyles at clubs and workshops are the best
can you explain about commandos more?
i was wondering the same and this is what i found in some battle rules: commando - a tag team style of routine where two or more members of the same crew switch places during a set.
i want a pt 3 i like les twins
I’m going to do them individually in the near future!
@@llmrfantasticll yeee
Larry actually threw a little bit of shade , if u notice at 9:18 larry told laurent that he wasnt on beat like a bboy then laughed at them and threw a thumbs down
Very interesting! Nice catch!
@@llmrfantasticll what show or competition was that bit from? When larry was mocking lau for not being on beat...thx
Why not an episode on Merrick Hannah ?
Have you seen the them in the WDC final? I was hoping you'd watch it in the video. If you've already seen it what do you think if it?
I haven’t seen the whole clip, just skimmed through it. I didn’t put it in the video because I saw so many other reacting to it. Although I might save it for the epic battles series ;)
@@llmrfantasticll I hope so, cant wait for that series!
You should react to les twins battles!!
Les twins My firt dencer emaging dancer's
I think you should also do them separate as well
Mmmm nah
You should do one on shmateo
Rubix from criminalz crew they call him the grizzly
“Lay” Twins. We as Americans generally pronounce it wrong. In French “Les” means “The” as in The Twins. I personally cringe when people pronounce it like “Less” Twins. Although yes, I’ve heard both Lau and Larry pronounce it like “less” Twins, I honestly believe they do it bc we Americans pronounce it that way and it’s just a convenience. We should pronounce it correctly, however, IMO. I have a literary degree so sorry, I hate misspelling and/or mispronouncing words. A fractional hang up of mine. ✌🏽😊. Good analogy, btw.
@
mimzy1124 Lassiter Since it's a name, I think we should pronounce it the way the owner of the name pronounces it. They created it and should be the ones to determine how it's pronounced. It's "Les Twins" not "Les Jumeaux" which actually means the twins in French. Laurent and Larry were creative with a mixture of French and English. It's their name. Follow their lead. And what's wrong with "the" before the name of the group. The name of the group is Les Twins not The Twins. Americans tried to translate it and correct like we love to do. If Larry and Laurent say "the" before the name of their group, I accept the Les Twins.
charmain glass Exactly what I’m saying. THEY, though have revised it, THAT is the way Americans pronounce it. They started out with the real pronunciation as “Lay” Twins and still, occasionally pronounce it that way. In an interview they even clarified that as the pronunciation. These posts do not equate a moratorium on anything. If YOU prefer to pronounce it “Less” Twins...be my guess. I was merely clarifying it as to how THEY themselves have clarified it. I believe it might be appropriate to say, no sweat off my nose personally how you pronounce it. I made no demands here, just an observation. Some may follow it, apparently some won’t, and either is okay with me. That’s “lay” truth. 😊
@@mimzyLassiter No sweat, mimzy. A rose by any other name smells as sweet.
Great content
Thank you much!
I understand what you're saying but to me Little Crab and his partner are contortions that is not dancing they were not on beat with the music it was nothing but showing us you're double jointed to me that is not dancing and everybody has their own opinion and that's mine
🙆♂️
Completely agree.
💯
Who’s little crab?
Please do a reaction video to @Kidathegreat #whatmakesthisdancergreat. That would be awesome.
PS.
Les Twins are Awesome.
You need to feature Kida the great
I think they made it to the big show. They toured with Beyoncé.
