Tecktonik (often abbreviated as TCK), also known as Electro Dance, Milky Way or Vertigo, is a style of street dance danced to electro music based on a blend of techno styles (late 80s vogue, 90s waving and old school breakdancing), and 70s disco, started in the early 2000s in Paris, France, at the club Metropolis.[1][2] It has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube.
The term Tecktonik is a registered trademark, and this has created issues for dance events or other uses of the name.[3] The creators of the Tecktonik brand (most notably, Cyril Blanc, the artistic director of Metropolis[4]) sell official products, such as clothes, CDs, energy drinks, etc. Hip-Hop style clothes are the typical dress for Electro dancers . Dancers also tend to have "futuristic", sometimes even gothic hair cuts. The neon colours on shirts are linked to the London Nu Rave fashion scene.
Tecktonik was featured prominently at the 2007 Paris Techno Parade on September 15.[4]
This is so great. I've seen a few other tectonic videos but this one is awesome!
