Definitely! Its also kinda funny the competition between CHicago and Detroit dancers/ people in the messages under the videos. Like whether footwork came beferoe the jit or vice versa. Footwork and percolatin are some pretty awesome dance moves as well. So the argument about what came first or which one is better seems to be pointless, because they are all good in my imo. Another dance style and music coming up in the Chicago area is the Juke.

BTW- Where did you go to in Detroit -struggle?
