"It’s an incredible dance form that uses the body in different ways. It’s not so much different as it is an evolution" Hinds said. "If you took traditional break dancing and began at the apex of the most difficult move in break dancing krump would pick up from there. It’s incredibly acrobatic and unbelievably beautiful and intense at same time. " Hinds went looking for dancers throughout the Inland area wherever the dancers worked out doing "battle" with dance moves. "I would watch these kids packed in this room with no air conditioning dancing for two to three hours in scorching heat" Hinds said. "I was blown away by their dedication.

Chris Brown is one of those artists who come along every once in a while–a genuine talent transforming a genre. The Tappahannock native is a soulful singer who is creating megahits right now. The thing that makes Chris Brown stand out is his dance ability. He brings a flair and style to hip-hop that reminds me of the old days when break dancing was a cornerstone of the music. In this day and age materialism drugs and sex are popular rap topics so it’s nice to see an artist who has true talent. This Friday I am going to my first concert of the year and I get to see Brown Bow Wow and Soulja Boy rock the stage at George Mason University’s Patriot Center. I am not a huge Bow Wow or Soulja Boy fan but it will be fun to see the whole audience do the Super Man dance when Soulja Boy plays his monster hit “Crank That.

She is also acutely aware that in these dire days for the record industry artists with established track records are under more pressure to deliver the goods and consequently keep their labels afloat. Considering the parlous fortunes of her own label EMI – which recently farewelled Radiohead and is now in a stoush with Robbie Williams – there is a lot riding on X in the UK. So when Minogue says she wants a mini-break to Ibiza and promises to record a new song – the upcoming single Wow – the flights villa and mini-studio are not a fait accompli. Even when she has already sold 40 million albums. "We were trying to wind up the recording process and it’s no secret at the moment that record companies are axing people left right and centre" she says. "There isn’t money like there used to be for recording. So there’s me saying ‘Ahem what about Ibiza? Wouldn’t it be great?’"They said ‘Yeah OK’ so I got very excited and then it was ‘They’re not sure if they can get the equipment out there’ and blah blah blah… Wow was written the day we arrived there so I think we got away with it. "X is probably the most comprehensive collection of musical Kylies. There’s dance Kylie ballad Kylie electronic Kylie pop Kylie and the out-of-the-blue glam rock Kylie of the album’s first single 2 Hearts. Which Kylie she is right now depends on the moment. "No More Rain I think pretty eloquently talks about where I was and what happened in the past couple of years whereas Wow is as energetic as I feel some days. Nu-di-ty is as forward thinking as I feel in some moments" she explains. The hotpants may have been retired but Spinning Around Kylie is nowhere near calling it quits just yet – particularly when it comes to dancing in her loungeroom.
