A History of Dance Part 1

Wikipedia states :
MC Hammer (born Stanley Kirk Burrell; March 30, 1962) is an American MC who was popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s, known for his dramatic rise to and fall from fame and fortune and his trademark Hammer Pants.

Most people know about MC Hammer. This isn't new or exciting information.

Wikipedia describes jumpstyle as:
Jumpstyle is a dance mainly practiced in Europe, specifically the Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France. The dance is also called Jumpen (English word Jump + the Dutch en which means "to jump" or "jumps").

I've talked about this before, when Michelle and I did a little jumpstyle ourselves.

What I haven't mentioned is the strange similarities I believe to have found between dancing in MC Hammer videos and jumpstyle. Check it out and decide for yourself.
