Tecktonik (often abbreviated as TCK), also known as Electro Dance, Milky Way or Vertigo, is a style of street dance danced to electro house music based on a blend of techno and Hip-hop styles (late 80s vogue, 90s waving and old school breakdancing), and 70s disco, started in the early 2000s in Paris, France, at the club Metropolis.[1][2] It has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube.

 

The term Tecktonik is a registered trademark, and this has created issues for dance events or other uses of the name.[3] The creators of the Tecktonik brand (most notably, Cyril Blanc, the artistic director of Metropolis[4]) sell official products, such as clothes, CDs, energy drinks, etc. Tecktonik was featured prominently at the 2007 Paris Techno Parade on September 15.[4]
