Hi All
I found this at the BBC:
By John Laurenson
Paris
An electro dance and fashion style called Tecktonik, born in the mainly-white, middle-class southern suburbs of Paris, is a hit in France and much of Francophone Africa.
But the commercial interests attached to Tecktonik - which is also a registered trademark - are turning some people away from the first original street style invented in France for a very long time.
On a stage above the dance floor of the Grand Dome, a huge music and sports venue south of Paris, the DJ kicks off this all-night Tecktonik party with the French national anthem. That's because Tecktonik is - so it is claimed - the first new dance to come out of France since the Can-Can.
It is almost as athletic as the dance of the energetic ladies of the Moulin Rouge.
The full story can be read
