Footworkin' - a little-known, Chicago-born street dance in which feet frenetically stomp and kick a stutter-step pattern that resembles a hip-hop version of Riverdance. Equal parts tap, break and African tribal dance, footworkin' is the Chicago answer to "krumping," the frenzied street dance born in Los Angeles.
A pulsating throng formed a circle and watched the dancers face off in a gladiatorial display of "footworkin'".
