VIDEO: Street videography / The Art of Hanging Out in L.A.

The Art of Hanging Out in L.A.: Huntington Park edition from Corey Takahashi on Vimeo.

MT (Motion This) is a dance crew from the eastside of Los Angeles. I ran into some members on the street, as they were prepping for a competition. They told me the “shuffling” dance style featured in this video was popularized in Australia and Malaysia before spreading globally through web videos.

The story above documents the second dance session I checked out with the MT crew. It’s a mobile narrative about how street styles travel through Los Angeles and the world. I shot and edited it over a weekend in 2011.
