Larry (Les Twins) and Joe Styles (ATeamLV) Exchange in Parking Lot | #SXSTV
Larry from Les Twins and Joe Styles from ATeam Las Vegas went one round outside after the "In It To Win It" Battle in Las Vegas a few weeks back. Both dancers give us dancers a great perspective on how each listen to music and translate it through their dance.
Some may call this a battle, but the real dancers know its an exchange of dance styles, knowledge, and experience. It was only one round, which usually there are more rounds in a raw street exchange, but the importance is the knowledge of musicality and learning of different styles.
No dancer is right or wrong with a mutual respect and understanding of how each defines musicality. Why is this important? Because growing the community in knowledge and understanding of how we all learn music through dance and vice versa helps us further the evolution of styles, community, and the art.
Some of you who see this may only see one perspective, but you need to look at both sides and show respect just as each dancer did at the end.
