The GET LIGHT style of dance is spreading quickly throughout New York, and every crew is trying to make a name for themselves both in the streets and on YOUTUBE. But there is only one Mr. Youtube. Also known as Swiss, Mr. Youtube hails from the Bronx (arguably where the GET LIGHT phenomenon started), and according to the kids in the streets he is the NICEST. Supposedly no one wants to battle him. I must say he looks older than the rest of the middle to high school age teens in most of the videos, but if you are familiar with the dance style you can clearly see why Mr. Youtube is highly respected. Check him out…
Mr. Youtube is also a heavy innovator of new dance moves, or “tricks”. He posts videos of himself dancing in his bedroom and suddenly his moves are all over the streets. Here’s one for you to watch…
Brotherhood is the name of Mr. Youtube’s crew, which also includes Kid Patt (who I featured a couple months ago click here to check out his battle with Mr. Styles it’s sick). According to the kids up here at the BGC in Mt. Kisco, most of whom live at group homes in the area but are originally from Harlem and the Bronx, Brotherhood is no joke. Here’s one of their sessions…
There’s others too, like my fam from White Plains TEAM GET RIGHT. I just saw them perform at the Westchester Arts Council this month during the Hip Hop Legacy event hosted by my dude Lord Judah. Most of these kids I’ve known since they first got to middle school. Check the video out below from the performance…
Check out more videos of TEAM GET RIGHT below, and stay tuned to the GET LIGHT movement…

This is nuts. How new is this?
What dyou call the music? Is the music related to the dancing scene or is it just the tunes they most like to dance to from some other scene?
the music is straight hip hop dance music, and sometimes they do it with no music, just clapping in rhythm and calling out the dancer’s nickname, click on the link above to the kid patt and mr. styles battle to see what i mean…
check for songs like J Mack “GO STUPID”, Mr. Instrumental “GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL”, DJ Webstar “5000 and GET SAUCY”…there’s others too, the kids call them HYPE SONGS…
peace,
ip
p.s. check for a new song by mr. instrumental called “you stay broke” or songs from D COLE…not sure how long the dance has been around, kids i know have been on it for a year or so, like summer 2007…but that’s mostly westchester kids, not sure when it actually started up in NYC…
