News and Updates about Dance

This kid has an amazing sense of humor and big balls. It takes both to go on national television and breakdance on a gigantic prosthetic erection.

Like a scene from Inception, professional hip hop dancer and choreographer Scotty Nguyen's latest video plays with gravity to the tune of Usher's "There Goes My Baby." Scotty performs with fellow professional dancer Tracy Shibata (who is currently on tour with Rihanna).

This Japanese "Precision Walk" contest has such an extreme military regime vibe, these kids would put even the Nazis to shame. If you like this, don't miss South Korea's equally impressive display of audience synchronization.

Every day of the week, WonderHowTo curators are hard at work, scouring the web for the greatest and most inspiring how-to videos. Every Friday, we'll highlight our favorite finds.

Turf dancing (Acronym: Taking Up Room on the Floor) is a form of street dance of similar vein to krumping. Basic dance elements include mimeing and popping & locking; and the free-flowing style is intended to portray a narrative- not totally unlike Gene Kelly's intention in Singin' In the Rain:

Janelle Monáe is simply in a class of her own. Genre-bending beats, distinctive fashion sense (à la the fabulous Grace Jones), and sweet dance moves to boot. Whether or not Monáe falls within your musical realm, you've gotta admit: the tiny five-foot-tall singer is chock full of infectious energy and exceptional talent.

Flavorwire has compiled an incredible collection of dance videos, featuring all the Hollywood greats, from Fred Astaire to John Travolta to the cast of Slumdog Millionaire.

Lady Gaga's most recent music video, "Telephone", costarring fellow megastar Beyoncé, was just posted yesterday on YouTube and has already amassed 8 million views (and is RAPIDLY climbing as you read). Personally, I think the video is pretty incredible. BUT, before you hit play below, be warned. Gaga's latest is most likely NSFW.

Incredible dance production,Thousand-Hand Guan Yin, performed by China's Disabled People's Performance Art Troupe. All of the performers are deaf, which makes the choreography quite an amazing accomplishment.

A Star Wars fanatic's dream come true. This past Saturday, Los Angeles club Bordello presented a naughty burlesque show of sexy Star Wars characters.

Let me guess. You want a chick who can do this. Well, it takes two to do this move, so educate yourself! Swing dance tutorials.

Hip hop music + outdoor street setting makes tap dancing supremely more cool (not that it wasn't cool already). Pretty sweet move starting around 1:17. Pick up some moves yourself.

Ahhh. Obsession. Specifically, Stephen. When the market dove 700 points last week, he was watching this video, on repeat, mumbling something entirely incoherent.

Michael Jackson's iconic Thriller is experiencing a revival. In the Phillipines, prisoners are undergoing rehabilitation through extensively choreographed dance. This video shows hundreds of orange suited inmates dancing in unison to Thriller.

Congratulations to Romanian belly dancer Mihaela Coman, winner of the 2008 WonderHowTo Dance Award! Despite being called 'belly' dance, it's all about the hips. Girl, your hips have won everyone over!

Move over Carmen Elektra. Veena's got more than just stretches and sashays in her stripper workout.

In case anybody's been under a Beyoncé-proof rock for the last month, the (internet) world is forever changed by the Single Ladies... and in many ways, me.

Nothing compares to this scene from 1941 film Hellzapoppin' starring the legendary Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.

It is Saturday. Party. Dance.
