Danse électrique: Tecktonik takes over Paris

04:45 PM PT, Jul 17 2008

Friday's "Column One" (on the front page of the Los Angeles Times) has a nice feature by Paris correspondent Geraldine Baum on Tecktonik (a.k.a. Tektonik), the style of dancing seen all over the Internet (even on Second Life) and popularized by Parisian clubbers and French electro acts such as Yelle, whose video for "A Cause des Garçons" features a bit of Tektonik-style dancing. Check the YouTube video above to see some equally nice moves.

Even though the trend is far from new, it's certainly new to most Americans, who, as a general rule, don't nessesarily excel at dancing to techno (guilty as charged).
