Music like DJ Clent

Footwork is a style of house dance/street dance that originated in Chicago in the early 1990s. Footwork music is a blended style of electronic dance music derived from ghetto house with elements of hip hop, first appearing in Chicago in the early 1990s.

The dance involves fast movement of the feet with accompanying twists and turns, and usually takes place as part of a "battle". The style was popularized outside Chicago by inclusion in the music video for Dude 'n Nem's 2007 single "Watch My Feet".

The music style has evolved from the earlier, rapid rhythms of juke and ghetto house, a change pioneered by RP Boo. It may draw from styles such as House music, Hip Hop, R&B. Tracks also frequently feature heavily syncopated samples from rap, pop and other sources, and are often around 160 bpm. Footwork also incorporates the club culture cultivated in disco, Jazz and Classical music.
