This past Sunday there was a mixture of different dance cultures. At approximately 10 P.M people were being let in for the last big jam of the year known as Kings of New York. People come from all over the city to show off their different dance styles and to compete for the number one place as a King of New York. There was break dancing, popping, house dance, and rocking. The dances are all part of New York City urban culture and learn through teaching one another. Although, each dance has come to adapt its own style the origin is the same. When you walk into the event you are met with different faces and different colors. Japanese, Hispanic, Chinese, European, Korean, or African American, any nationality you could think of was probably in this one large room. Each dance style was not exclusive to a certain nationality. There were proportionate amounts of people participating in each dance competition; the only thing that mattered was the way you could show off your moves. The dance floor was full of moving bodies and waving arms as the music was turned on full blast. Everyone danced together, whether you were a break-dancer or a popper, they all belonged to one giant dance floor that united everyone.
