I remember seeing that vid back in 2005'ish timeframe. This comp brings back mems. Anyone know the song that plays in the background on the 7:44 dance?
True story, I found the video first on Ebaums world I think but I knew then that this video was going to open the floodgates at how we have access to people with immense talent.
Funny thing about the break dancers that don’t consider him a dancer is that he can and has easily done what they have done but has also evolved to a level that they don’t understand or just simply can not do. This guy is a genius!
@@midinerdyeah Exactly, its not about how good you follow the rules of the framework. True greatness is almost always ascending existing boundaries. He is clearly an amazing artist.
His footwork is so precise and thought-out. In some places it seems as though his footwork is being used to hold interest while he is transitioning with his upper-body. It is really incredible.
Man... Who's trying to see David elsewhere on a Poppin John compilation though!? Nonstop+Poppin John+David Elsewhere? C'mon bruh. That'd be lit AF! Hold up lemme add one more... Poppin Hyun Joon.... Greatest comp of all time.
Truly a wormy creative!!! I remember when we first seen David we was like wth??? He was original n creative we liked that.ohhh he put the Sun Valley footage at Puppets jam on there!!! I was there!! 20:20 we can truly say theres nobody like David!
My medium is graffiti. In 1998-2001 when I started doing "abstract", experimental pieces I got 99% hatred and 0 respect. I spent a great deal of time not doing what I wanted in order to have a granite understanding of traditional, classic letterforms, just to gain the respect of my peers and move on to what I really want to do and not have dicks drawn on my pieces the next day. Fast forward to 2020 and it's the total opposite. Apparently everyone loved it back then and wants to let me know now. I wish they'd give me the time of day when I really struggled with self confidence 20 years ago. It would have helped much more to get loose and creative back then when I was unfettered by adulthood. In a way it was a blessing. I learned some fundamental tricks that informed my painting through illegal work, efficiency and traditional methods. I also wonder where I'd be if I didn't have the baggage of formality and tradition to guide my ideas logistically. When I started I never though I can't do that because I don't have enough white paint to cover that surface area. Now, that's all I think about.
dude this is honestly fascinating to read, would be curious to know more about your experience in the scene, why you think you got hate from the community, how your style evolved over time, etc...idk if youve got email or can comment more on that but would be interested to hear
IT IS DANCING! You, Robert Muraine and b-boy junior are my childhood heroes! I even copied few of your moves for my robot dance and everyone enjoyed them!
I remember the first time I heard daft punks around the world track i was at a rave called flavorite yellow, and i was tripping on acid and everything looked like a cartoon. Like the road runner going around the world... it was heady af
@1:20, to those other dancers that concider elsewhere's form of expression not dance are just plain haters because they didn't come up with this style of dance. Gotta love those haters ....
The guy never did a routine cleaner then what he did in the Orange shirt at Kollaboration IV in 2003 7:42 The planets really aligned for him in that moment.

*The Originality of this guy, is off-the-charts.*
*Not just a dancer,*
*but a True Artist.*
Definitely a legend and someone who really pushed what people thought was possible with dance at the time.
He was also an internet sensation that pre-dates TH-cam. That in of itself is an incredible feat.
He born same year as me 😁
That slow motion technique is fckn outta this world! he's so unorthodox other dancers hate on him cuz they're jealous. dude is a legend
I think it’s called strobing
7:42 The day the world changed.
Long before TH-cam, people were sharing that video, blowing minds!
And also 18:35
I remember seeing that vid back in 2005'ish timeframe. This comp brings back mems. Anyone know the song that plays in the background on the 7:44 dance?
It definitely changed me as a person, never seen that shit

yeah, naturalist painters shitting on abstract painters, basically

old school legend.. no words can describe his ability. natural
i bet he still practiced his tail off
@@eddjordan2399 oh for sure did/does
I've been popping since the 80s. David is one of the best pop lock dancers of all time!
A living glitch
That perfectly describes his dancing.
Doesn't matter what others think in the 80's I was into Poppin and the things you do takes it to a whole new level....Mad Respect
🇬🇧 David was the first person I saw Dance like that years ago. It's absolutely entertaining. Thanks David. ✨✝️
Nice compilation . He is my favourite . There is no other like him .
The stop motion stuff is my favorite. Bloody unreal!
His footwork is so precise and thought-out. In some places it seems as though his footwork is being used to hold interest while he is transitioning with his upper-body. It is really incredible.
Legend I can remember watching is 2004 video at kollaboration. I still watch it too this day. Classic
Dude is an amazing dancer. He's not off beat. And his flow and footwork I love
insane footwork and style, much love!
I just searched the old original video and I'm so glad I found this. What a gem.
Some people are destined for greatness
Dave completely reinvented the "Mime"... Wonderful!!! A Performing Dance artist all the way!!!
One of the best performer of the world. Just Amazing ☝️❤️ Legend!
Who else saw the Mad Hatter's Flutterwacken and knew it was him?
A true legend. His dance is his identity...
David Elsewhere has his own youtube channel and actively posts new dance videos there. You should check it out.
AnalogX64 thanks for the link
*JERK*
#kanepoe ! Lazy p.o.s.
How is this "not dancing"? No one should get to decide what is and what isn't legitimate and as David says, many, many people enjoy his dancing!
Man... Who's trying to see David elsewhere on a Poppin John compilation though!? Nonstop+Poppin John+David Elsewhere? C'mon bruh. That'd be lit AF! Hold up lemme add one more... Poppin Hyun Joon.... Greatest comp of all time.
What I'm seeing in Dave's dance is a statement about man's continued reliance in automation of his life...
And what's so crazy is his ticking and robot skills are off the charts.
I loved that You Got Served. He's so unique he has to go solo. You can't have him in a group.
2:10 one of my favorite Hecq tracks, nice!
I watched his footwork at 0.25 speed, and I still can’t follow what he’s doing. Unreal.
His dancing never gets old... All the best brother!
His style is unique and Beautiful that people cant cant do or mark it makes them hate because he is different with gift that is unbelieveable
Les Twins defo grew up seeing him.
David you are a Legend !
I can't believe there's this much footage here of this Elsewhere. I only just discovered his name. To see Kollaboration 2004 was cool too.
Dave Bernal, true legend. Period.
Thanks for your art David
@23:32 truly beautiful and completely original!
IMO David is a slept on LEGEND Such a pioneer : ) Peace...
Thank you for putting this together : )
He is totally dancing...just a unique style with several dope elements.
Been watching him since Friendster/Napster days..
He seems to really feel a passion for this and it comes out in his movement so free and unscripted just feeling the flow
Человек масло! Один из любимых танцоров )
7:08….. a minute of visual pleasure….goosebumps and all
Had to come back and see the boss, just unbelievably talented, it’s like he has a brain in each limb like an octopus does, man is a legend .
Truly a wormy creative!!! I remember when we first seen David we was like wth??? He was original n creative we liked that.ohhh he put the Sun Valley footage at Puppets jam on there!!! I was there!! 20:20 we can truly say theres nobody like David!
You inspire many my friend , keep it liquid, RC Rock.
My older brother figure and I were highly inspired by this guy. I'll always dance like this Elsewhere. I call it busting out.
One of the Legends
my favorite who deserves the name of legend.
Amazing
Contemporary dancing doesn't exist without Elsewhere
always wondered who this guy was!

Brilliant.
In my estimation, the greatest dancer who ever lived. If I could dance like any human, it would be like this.
IT IS DANCING!
You, Robert Muraine and b-boy junior are my childhood heroes!
I even copied few of your moves for my robot dance and everyone enjoyed them!
I thinks is better than dancing
Is another level
this is good
No one can beat him... most dancer in the word...
KEEP DANCING BRO.. GOOD JOB!
One of my favorite dancers 🌻
One of the only dancers I know of that can transform into numerous species that don't exist.
Imagine this guy in. He was doing moves no one did when he started. Original.
The One And Only Liquid Robot:
David Elsewhere
Yo I do love your way to dance and been following you from childhood, keep it up! ❤
The master.
3:00 was when I realized. . .
"Wait a minute. . . HE WAS THAT DANCER ON YOU'VE GOT SERVED!!!"
Really ahead if his time
dude cold as fuck
oct 25, 2003 - best set forever!)
18:46 one of the fuckest moves he has done, always flips me
Real genius
Amazing dancer i ever seen
I remember the first time I heard daft punks around the world track i was at a rave called flavorite yellow, and i was tripping on acid and everything looked like a cartoon. Like the road runner going around the world... it was heady af
MAN.!! u an alien?? or what?
Ahhhh!!!! HIs strobing is so out of control!!!!!
Me: can you do the moon walk David ?
David Elsewhere: lol
Well **** those dancers that are hating. I appreciate you
unmatched

He is not a fuckin legend...he is the legend
legend never die
@1:20, to those other dancers that concider elsewhere's form of expression not dance are just plain haters because they didn't come up with this style of dance. Gotta love those haters ....
Legend !!!!
Legend
What song is playing in the background of the 2003, orange shirt clip @ 7:44. For the last 17 years, it's been a mystery. Hopefully, not any more...
You can ask the man himself. Look up David Bernal on facebook.
@@UrbanDanceLegends Eh, that may be kind of weird and awkward.
The guy never did a routine cleaner then what he did in the Orange shirt at Kollaboration IV in 2003 7:42 The planets really aligned for him in that moment.
He is a badass dancer but his moves looked way better when he was a teen ... Maybe because was more flexible.
You gotta go on... AMERICA's GOT TALENT!!!
L E G E N D ! !
Do people agree that David Elsewhere invented / pioneered the 'Animation' style?
the orange sweater one was the lick
vc ja era o poppin de hoje ja na frete a tecnica so sua igual a minha que eu vejo hoje estamos na frete caraio pra danca
David vs Golioth... wait. David vs Autechre!
ja danca vamos o popping de hoje 2021 ja estavamos na frente a anos sou seu fan

Insane
I knew him as "sidewinder"
7 dislikes, probably the same amount of people who think they can outdo him
Good job man!
