For me the old dance video I couldn't get enough of back in the day was of these dudes doing the robot at Kollaboration 2001 that capped off with this dude doing some sick liquified robot shit that still melts my mind to this day. Thought this was that video initially so had to go look it up for you folks.

David Elsewhere was the god. Kid figured that entire shit out in his garage, all by himself.

EDIT: Another amazing breakdancing video from yesteryear: https://youtu.be/jFKvFcr01RY

Oof. That kiddo had some strong Ehlers-Danlo Syndrome going on there. I bet he's still feeling those moves today.

Kudos to Jr with the giant dong slung over his shoulder though, lol

David Elsewhere is a noted and accomplished professional dancer that still does all these moves on his YT channel.
