Nightline featured this form of dance as it is performed in Chicago, where it apparently much more than a mode of dance, but rather a type of dance. Kids form teams and it helps them keep out of gangs, there are clubs where people perform, they practice, etc. Maybe somebody familiar with this could expand this article to include that aspect? Nightline's article is here. -Etoile 13:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Regional styles include juke (Chicago), jit (Detroit), bailando electro (Argentina? closely associated with the word flogger), tecktonik (France, more arm-oriented)... YouTube searches for these terms will bring up quite a few videos, almost all involving teenagers dancing in shopping malls, bedrooms, and other spaces with smooth floors and no minimum age requirement. It seems wrong to not talk about these styles together, but if no one else has, what can you do? —mjb (talk) 20:36, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I've updated the article to mention Footwork (Chicago) under the 'Other uses' heading. Hope this meets your needs. yoyo (talk) 11:52, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
