Wondered what the latest style of dancing is? Tecktonik is a French dance craze, now spreading globally thanks to YouTube.
Tecktonik, the underground dance movement borne in a cheesy suburban nightclub outside Paris, is now an official sensation. Conceived as a club night at the Metropolis, Tecktonik has since expanded into a dance and Internet phenomenon. The trend has now infiltrated Parisian nightspots and begun garnering international attention largely thanks to websites like YouTube.
Tecktonik sees clubbers combining moves from hip hop and techno dancing.
Typically outfitted in skinny jeans and slim-fitting jackets, topped with futuristic haircuts and occasional eye-makeup, Tecktonik subscribers are easy to spot. The trend borrows heavily from Cyberpunk, yet is often cited for parallels to London’s Nu Rave movement.
Get your glow sticks ready, Tecktonics is coming to a club near you!
