When you  become a hit dancer performer and videographer and fly to France to shoot commercials for Adidas, what's the next step?  If you're YAK Films and the Turf Feinz crew, the answer is--start shooting and distributing a twice a week dance  instruction video series via YouTube so folks all over the world can see how you break it down.

Since March 11, 2011, the crew has published 15 videos (which feels more like a new video every few days)--and even without a lot of publicity, over 60,000 people have watched the shows, with most of the getting between 10 and 20,000 views apiece.

The viral dance videos, and dance tutorial videos are meant to teach dancers moves featured in YAK videos--and keep the crew sharing their skills with the world.

Does this mean we're going to see more adults popping these moves in Oakland?  Maybe down around City Hall, or out on High Street? That wouldn't be a bad thing--and it is cool to see the YAK FIlms and Turf Feinz franchise continue to build.

Got your own moves? YAK asks you to post responses..or just keep watching!

Nice to see these young men using the art they create and the their natural leadership abilities to teach.
