How Turf Dancing Came to Define Oakland Street Dance
Briefly

Turfing is a form of dance that originated in Oakland and has gained recognition and popularity through various platforms such as Red Bull, GoDaddy, and the Oakland Museum of California.
Turfing combines elements of boogaloo, expressive storytelling, and unique moves like backflips and bone-breaking. It is known for its balance between upper and lower-body movements and often does not incorporate traditional breaking footwork or power moves.
The viral success of a video featuring turf dancing on multiple online platforms has played a significant role in the growth and exposure of the dance style, leading to opportunities and recognition for its practitioners like Savion and Zeus.
