Electro Dance/"Tecktonik" (often abbreviated as TCK), is a French style of street dance danced to electro music based on a blend of techno, rave and hip-hop styles – (late 80s vogue, 90s waving and old school breakdancing, and 70s disco). It started in the 2000s and originates from the southern suburbs of Paris, France, mainly from club Metropolis. It has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube. The dance is based on electro music imported from Northern Europe.
The term Tecktonik is a registered trademark, and this has created issues for dance events or other uses of the name. The creators of the Tecktonik brand (most notably, Cyril Blanc, the artistic director of Metropolis) sell official products, such as clothes, CDs, energy drinks, etc. Tecktonik was featured prominently at the 2007 Paris Techno Parade on September 15.
