Red Bull Dance Your Style in Mumbai
More than 5,000 spectators gathered in Mumbai on Saturday to watch 16 dancers compete for the big prize at the Red Bull Dance Your Style finale. There were no judges at this event - dancers needed to win the crowd’s approval to proceed through the ranks.
Popping sensation MT Pop became the first Vietnamese dancer to claim the Red Bull Dance Your Style title with his high-octane performance to Punjabi track ‘Mundian to Bach Ke’.
MT Pop drew wild cheers from the crowd with his freestyle dance inspired by India’s ‘nagin’ dance that’s a mainstay at wedding processions. In fact, many viewers compared his steps to baraatis dancing with abandon, saying his performance gave “full baraat vibes.”
The crowd evidently approved, cheering and applauding the Vietnamese dancer as he set the stage on fire. Towards the end of his performance, many got up to join him onstage.
