There's a very big dance scene in Shinjuku. Mainly on the weekends, dancers of all different styles hit up this one office building courtyard that's only a couple minute walk from the station. Crews practice their routines and individuals work on techniques. Many people pull all-nighters to practice after the trains stop. A good friend of mine from America is a popper and he found this place so I've been going with him to check out the dancers. From what I've seen and what he's told me, there's a HUGE difference in western and Japanese dancing. Just watching him pop and a Japanese guy next to him do it looks like a completely different style.
