Bruce Lee Dance, Art & Self-Expression

This is what I'm talking about right here! What I really loved about Bruce Lee is the fact that he was a dancer before he truly became an incredible martial artist. When you see his movements on camera particularly before and after his moves, you can tell he was a gifted dancer. He has a lot of grace, fluidity, and really knew his fundamentals. Yes, he created his own style that's really a mix of many yet not catering to one. However, you can see he had a tight grip on his forms, and did them full out and correctly. Just like how I'm b-boying..the foundation is there, and you FLIP it for your use!! Remember, Bruce said it best, "Absorb what is useful; discard what is not". PERFECT QUOTE RIGHT THERE! Shannon Lee, who recently followed me on Twitter by the way (^_-), posted this a few weeks back. I feel this is a very great and rare clip to really see who he was besides the Martial Arts. It's a great clip with some good dancers in it that can correlate how the moves and movement flow together!
