My Top 3 Favorite Dancers

“Urban dance,” is a recently coined term as it represents a crossroads between hip hop dance, contemporary/classical dance, and any other artistic background you can contribute to developing your personal identity as a dancer. Listed below are the top 5 favorite dancers who I believe to have changed the game of urban dance:

1. Brian Puspos: The 31 year old dancer is an innovator in the culture of urban dance in terms of movement details/intricacies, streetwear fashion, and hip hop foundation. He has been attributed to be one of the few dancers who manifested the internet breakthrough of hip hop dance through his choreography to Chris Brown’s “Wet The Bed.” The links below direct you to his Youtube videos from his 9.5 million hit record-breaking “Wet The Bed” video, and his recent dance video to Chris Brown’s “Tempo,” where he evidently showcases the synergy between dance and fashion

2. Ian Eastwood: Now 24 years old, Ian Eastwood was dubbed as the Justin Bieber of urban dance, having been garnering popularity from the age of 17, primarily through his “Fireflies” dance video. The ability to have gained exposure at such a young age, pushed him to remain at the top of his game and to this day he remains one of the most innovative dancers in the community. He has an strong foundation in hip hop dance, and a keen eye for creative direction. Aside from his individual capabilities, he is an extremely generous teacher, always aiming to preserve the culture and essence of hip hop dance through his teachings and hip hop events. The links below direct you to his “Fireflies” video from 2010 and one of my favorite pieces from him to a collaborative remix to Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up,” with artist Lido, produced specifically for one of his live performances.

3. Keone and Mari Madrid: This couple technically makes this list a “top 4,” but they’re execution as a unit is unexplainable. I don’t even know where to begin with this power couple. The internet perceives their relationship to be stronger because of their shared love for dance. However, they have disclosed that it is the battle between their individuality as artists that makes working together and separating the art from their personal marriage so difficult. Nonetheless, you can evidently see the genius behind their work. Creative direction and their story telling component is beyond words even for the most unfamiliar of viewers to the culture of dance, and even more the most professional of dancers are taken aback by their mind boggling movements. Linked below is a video to one of my favorite pieces to Flume’s “Numb and Getting Colder,” and one of their more recent pieces titled “We Are” visually representing the stories of displaced immigrants trying to make their way to America for the start of a new life.
