Crouch robot dances into the World Cup
June 10th 2006 11:43
I don't play soccer anymore but if I did, I'd do some kind of dance each time I scored a goal. That's what Peter Crouch, the soccer giant of England does, and in a few hours time, I'll be watching to see if he's consistent with his robot-dancing. It's amazed Prince William along with millions of other 'football' (nah it's called SOCCER) fans.
The robot dance is actually one of the early Funk style moves that was created in the 60s, inspired by popular TV shows at the time such as "Lost In Space". It was developed in particular by Charles "Charles Robot" Washington which he first demonstrated live on an episode of "Soul Train", then it was made even more popular by Michael Jackson and his brothers while performing "Dancing Machine" on national TV in the mid 70s.
So here's Crouch's version after scoring a goal against Hungary:
The best robot I've seen live is by Kenky, my dance mentor. This video is a the finals of a popping battle at Dancekool Vol. 14. You can see the second guy, Daniskool, doing the Robot and variations, and Kenky, who responds to him, has incredible control and technique when executing his robot dance.
