First of all… how amazing is the dancing in this video? Second of all - it does seem a lot like breakdance style, no? (fyi, the title is from YouTube, not me).
The next video is a remix/video response to different music, which seems to work just as well, if not better….
I love how different music (and sometimes a little editing) can completely change a work.
Here’s the “original”…

Even though I live in Israel, I still check out the New York Times (especially the arts section), and today they had an article about Matt Harding’s dance video on YouTube. Here it is in case you haven’t stumbled across it yet - I thought you might get a kick out of it (and maybe you’ll see your home city in it - the clip from Tel Aviv is at Kikar Dizengoff, around the corner from my flat!).

The Arts & Music section of today’s Los Angeles Times takes a look at the growing popularity of Internet publicity among dancers and dance companies.
The YouTube video that seems to have prompted the article:
The connection between the video above and the rest of the article is, to me, a little fuzzy. Overall, though, the article is pretty neat. Especially cool is that Looseleaf recognizes certain notables, including Daniil Simkin, Rolando Sarabia, Anaheim Ballet, Grover Dale’s Answers4Dancers and, of course, New York City Ballet’s website and YouTube channel. (Congrats, Kristin!)
The full text of the article follows below for anyone who might be interested. Take a read!
My favourite quote: Asked what company co-founder and choreographer George Balanchine would have thought about the Internet, [NYCB’s General Manager Ken] Tabachnick replies, “He was an innovator. Balanchine loved change and didn’t shy away from new things. I imagine he would have loved it.”

Hopefully no dancers were harmed in the production of this video 
I like the flower part at the end. He really sells it.
And I never thought I’d see the recommended YouTube videos at the end of a video be a medley of Jackass and ballet.
