Video: Final of Electro Dance World Championships

You think you've seen everything and then some pasty skinny white guys appear and start dancing to really fast paced techno music, and next thing you know you're in the middle of a world championship.

Anybody with a history of clubbing knows somebody who's been into this type of dancing, and it can be pretty exciting. I'm not sure that it translates to a battle type competition, but then again, who am I disagree.

(UTC)Tecktonik (TCK), also called Electro Dance, is a frenetic and quirky French street dance which is typically performed to Electro House music. It is based on a blend of techno, rave and hip-hop styles – (late '80s vogue, '90s waving and b-boying, and '70s disco). The dance style emphasizes arm movements and focuses less on leg movements. It started in the 2000s and originated from the southern suburbs of Paris, France, mainly from the Metropolis nightclubs.[1][2] It has grown in popularity with teenagers and young adults through word-of-mouth in the underground rave scene and through video sharing websites such as Dailymotion and YouTube. Fast paced techno and electro house music imported from Northern Europe is the usual choice for Tecktonik dancing.[3]
