Shaolin invented breakdancing! Yes.

Giant Robot magazine did a great article about this 10 years ago or so...if you can find it.

I went with my partner to watch a contemporary dance performance, the following clips are of one of the dances we saw. The choreographer Russell Maliphant has studied Tai Chi and Capoeira which you can see in his work. As you can guess I was well chuffed when I watched it.

There's always at least two martial arts influenced performances at Sadlers-Wells each year. Akram Khan is doing some stuff with the Cloud Gate theatre company from Taiwan at the Peacock I think later this year.
