I hope that we will all make a great place to be and read, write and learn Tecktonik. So you are all welcome to post and share you movies or expiriences with TCK. Here are some information about Tecktonik itself taken from wikipedia:
Tecktonik (also known as “tck“,”vertigo“, “Milky Way“) is a form of dance based on a blend of hip hop and techno styles.[1] Tecktonik style also borrows heavily from cyberpunk. It originated in Paris, France and has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube. Hardstyle is the main music style associated with Tecktonik. However, it has also become a prominent style of dancing to Electro house.
The term Tecktonik is also a registered trademark. This is the first time that the name of a dance has been protected in this way, and this has created copyright issues for dance events or other uses of the name.[2] The name refers to the clash between music styles from Belgium and the Netherlands (hardstyle and jumpstyle) and more southern influences, similar to the collision of tectonic plates.[3] However, Tecktonik is not a music style. 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. Typical dress for Tecktonik dancers include tight-fitting jackets and slim-fit jeans. Dancers also tend to have “futuristic”, sometimes even gothic hair cuts and sometimes wear make-up designs such as a star around one eye. The neon colours on shirts are linked to the London Nu Rave fashion scene.
Tecktonik appeared in France in 2000 in Paris in a nightclub called Metropolis.[5] It borrows heavily from elements of glowsticking, and hip-hop dance moves including popping and locking, vogueing and wacking. Tecktonik was featured prominently at the 2007 Paris Techno Parade on September 15.[4] It is popular at Gay Pride events in France and was notably so at the event in Nantes and Lyon in June 2007, although it is not specifically associated with the gay subculture.
