My friend Kayo pointed me to this video (4:40) of a performance by a Japanese dance-duo called “Hamutsun Serve”. Pretty awesome stuff. At one point, one of the guys moonwalks with his knees. HIS KNEES!

So one thing leads to another, and I ended up trawling Youtube for 2 hours looking at these amazing Japanese dancers. This next one (2:55) is of a girl called Kazumi. Her popping is not as tight as Hamutsun Serve’s but her routine is entertaining. And man is she flexible!

And with this last video (3:15), I challenge you to not smile at it. The song is so catchy! This 12-year old girl goes by the moniker of “Strong Machine 2″ who is part of a group called “Polysics”. And she also dances with her father who goes by the nickname of “Strong Machine”, natch.

Makes you want to get up and dance, doesn’t it? :)
