LIL BUCK - "PRIMETIME"

We've recently come across a few videos from this very talented young dancer.

Lil Buck is a Los Angeles-based dancer and occasional model from Memphis, Tennessee who specializes in a style of street dance called Memphis jookin'. He gained popularity after director Spike Jonez used his cell phone to record an interpretive performance of "The Dying Swan" by Lil Buck and Yo-Yo Ma. Jonez uploaded the video to YouTube and as of February 2014, it had amassed 2.4 million views!
Lil Buck was born in Chicago but raised in Memphis,

He discovered jookin when he was 12 years old after his older sister showed him some basic jookin dance moves in their living room. After learning more about the dance from neighborhood mentors he spent less time doing his other hobbies, including drawing and basketball, so that he could focus solely on improving his dancing. While attending his last years of High School, Buck began dancing witha dance Group called Sub-Culture Royalty, headed by Mrs. Terran Cooke Gary. When he was 17, he appeared in a number of locally produced by natioally distributed Jookin DVD's entitled Memphis Jookin Vol. 1-3 which was produced by his good friend, now Manager, Jai Armmer. Being a stand out dancer in Memphis on the DVD and youtube.com, Buck began gaining his international dance recognition While mastering Memphis Jookin, Terran Gary introduced Buck to Ms. Katie Symthe of New Ballet Ensemble. Lil Buck studied ballet for two years while on scholarship at the New Ballet Ensemble in Memphis. He accepted the scholarship under the condition that he would not have to wear tights, but he eventually relented so that he could perform with the company in a ballet show.
