Dancing Korean Style!!

So the past 2 weekends have been packed chock-full of dancing!

First I went and saw the B-Boys last weekend. For all of you who've never heard of B-Boys, it's basically break dancing. It's not a Korean things but they are pretty unbelievable at it. So what I saw was what turned out to be called Monster Jam 2009 B-Boys WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Yup! That's right!! I got to see the best of the best break dancers going up against each other March Madness bracket style. It was 1v1 type battles. They drew names out of a box and then got up on stage 2 at a time and started dancing freestyle. Each guy got 3 times in the middle to show their stuff. THey had some judges up on stage who picked the winner. A white guy from Germany won the whole thing, his name is ATA. Not my favorite, I liked Street.

Here's a taste of one of the better battles of the night.
This is Street (my fav) vs Blonde.


This past weekend I went to one of my Korean co-workers', Alex, swing dancing performances. It was at a community center and it gave it a really nice swingy feel. Basically a ton of people take swing classes and every 2-3 months they have all the classes come and show off what they've learned. So I got to see 2 hours of some great swing dancing. All different styles of swing too. Alex teaches a class too so she was really excited to see them out there doing so well. She was pretty good and super excited that we showed up too. It was a ton of fun!
