i could say dance since there is a character in bust-a-groove 2 with that name, and i could say a sport other than i see no ball or anything...fighting style? the fling your feet in the air game? hehe

and in advance: please excuse my stupidity

hi gigantic hamster

many ppl don't know what capoeira is so i will enlighten you- it's a brazilian martial art that envolves acrobatics and something that looks a little bit like dancing movements. check out the site in the buttom of the pic for more details. (http://come.to/abada.israel)

take care

Martial arts was illegal in brazil or something so they 'disguised' their martial arts in a dance form, and created capoeira. Awesome to watch, and still an effective fighting syle.

A nice pik dude, like the way you tried to capture motion.
