Harlem Shake

I'm sure by now after living here for over a year, most of you have seen some sort of performance in the subway. I don't remember how many I have seen but it's been a lot. Usually its people in their 20's or so, not so much teenagers. I personally love watching them especially the dancers, I appreciate them for their hard work and guts they have to just start dancing in front of strangers.

Yesterday I was on the N line on my way home when these 2 teenagers walked in. Immediately  I saw that they were holding a stereo so I had a feeling what was about to happen but I wasn't sure. Then one of the boy started yelling about his dance group that he is apart of and I just kept thinking, wow he is so young! 


Him and his friend put on music and then started doing the coolest things you could ever possibly do in a subway. They were swinging from the bars, going upside down, jumping from one side to the other, and other things I don't even know how to explain. I have never seen someone move the way these boys did in a subway! Not to mention they didn't really have that much space to work with either, the subway was pretty crowded but they definitely made it work. 

I was more impressed by this performance compared to others because these boys were so young! They were definitely teenagers who seemed like they just got out of school for the day. You could tell they weren't doing it for the money but more for the experience and mainly for the fun. It was as if it is just a hobby they have, which to mean is a great hobby! And definitely something that I could never ever do in a million years. 

I respected them so much that after the performance was over that I gave them money, but also I noticed that they weren't really even asking for money its was more of the reaction from the audience is what they were looking for. I also want them to become a known dancing group for their hard work which is why  I am posting about them on my blog!
