Man. I feel they really reversed roles as time went on. Classic Larry was so free and animated in his dance but he still had the same understanding of music he does now. Though in straying from this more chaotic/unconfined style I definitely think he became a better all-style dancer over hip-hop because his structure and technique is extremely well pronounced and more identifiable I'd say. Laurent's progression is crazy because he assimilated so many different styles as time went on and managed to adapt them all really well with his own. Giving him extraordinary creative control. Laurent got that soul and groove. Which imo made him the better Hip-hop Dancer. So I got classic Larry over classic Laurent but modern Laurent over modern Larry imo

​@@rihaan4619I didn't know you replied, I came back to this randomly😂😂. Larry was a fan favorite cause he's masculine & his musicality was easy for casuals to understand. With Laurent, he's so expressive & if your ear isn't trained it looked like he was "just doing shit" thats y Twitter went crazy when danced to Virgos Groove on tour, he was getting ROASTED, i was like "Noooo"..😂 back then I was close minded & thought his dancing was "gay". Now the lvl of IDGAF, fearlessness & the 10+ styles he mixes is part of y he's the GOAT to me🤷🏿‍♂️.

They both unreal but when Laurent gets lost in the music it’s goodnight for everyone🤣💀 Larry it’s safe to say is more of a animated/beat killing genius lately and he’s the best at it 🔥

ALWAYS has been Laurent for me! Old Larry is my favorite version of Larry even though I LOOOVVVEEE him now, but LAURENT?????? Old Laurent, new Laurent, in between Laurent, always has been my favorite Laurent. He is always so creative, so unpredictable, so exciting to watch. But I always say, Larry, live and in person, is a phenomenon to behold. The energy that comes off of him is electrifying. They are both more than spectacular! But why Laurent? When I watch him, I'm mesmerized by his flow, his movement choices, and his creativity. I cannot take my eyes off of him or even blink or breath sometimes because I don't want to miss whatever he might create! He makes it all look so easy, so fun, he seems joyful when he dances. His technique is every bit as intricate as Larry's, just different. Laurent's connection to the music, and the kinds of music he chooses to dance to, is particularly extraordinary. I just think he is willing, and effectively able, to explore any genre and to appreciate what the music has to offer to him as a dancer, and along the way he helps me to appreciate the music in a new or better or different way. I think he is an extraordinary talent that I'm fortunate to get to experience.

They are more creative together. Wat are u talking about lol

Can't get enough of Larry!!! But Laurent takes you somewhere. Laurent can make you get lost and when it's over you realizing 'damn' was I holding my breathe. Laurent is an experience.

At the end of the day, they are different. But the freedom I see in Laurent's movement makes him have no bounds for where he can go. Larry to me is still sharpening the same spear, and maybe have shed off layers in the process.

Laurent is my favorite dancer. He's Larry with all of his extra theatrics. By that, I mean Laurent can do the same things as Larry. But I think Laurent knew if all they were presenting was the same type of dancing, that that would be boring and fizzle out quickly. In order for them to stand out, they needed to show that two dancers can hear the same music and give you a different vibe and look. That's why I believe it took him a while to develop a new style and make their styles different. I see Larry in Laurent occasionally when Laurent dances. I don't recall ever seeing Laurent in Larry. In fact, when Larry tries dancing on the floor, it looks awkward, unnatural. Laurent's a risk taker. He's goofy, weird. He tries new moves. He misses at times, but I must give him respect for trying. He builds up the dance and pulls you in. You're holding your breath because you have no idea what he'll do next. But when he delivers, the performance is breathtaking. I remember other dancers moves, but once I've seen them I'm good. But, Laurent's dancing makes me want to see and feel the performance again and again. He's so free that it makes me ,an essential non-dancer, want to get up and dance. Dancing is more than technical moves. Dance encompasses so much more. When I think of basketball, I think of Michael Jordan. When I think of dance, I think of Laurent.

i hope his knees be strong enough with all that years risky moves. Very nice analysis. Agreed. Lau is something else

First-your reactions are the best. Hands down. And funny 😂 But on the twins-It really depends on who’s watching and what they’re looking for. And time period. They switch it up so much-and it also depends on the music. And then they usually compliment each other too. Other dancers look for certain things. Fans just want to be entertained. They’re both dope af. It’s name your poison. They’re both good separately-but together-that shit is crazy 🔥 💯

You WILDDD for the Reggie comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let me give my two cents. I have been watching the twins for 3+ years. I prefer Lau's style because I relate more to the humour, sassyness and versatility it comes with.. Larry's style is gangster, smooth and controlled. To get 100% from Larry's style u need to listen to the music in 4d. Not even 3d😂cause sometimes he goes into that inhuman level. That's y Lau accepts that he is better than him, and most of the time he is. Lau gives u unforgettable experience. Larry gives u an awakening of the mind. Enough with the philosophy, I chose Lau' style anyday tho, it's a personal preference.

14:57 Do something Do something Larry....ah thats not Larry thats Laurent😂😂😂 Nice reaction, my favorite is always larry because i like his cleanness and technics. I‘m reacting to them sometimes and they make me speechless every time.

I got laurent all day👌🔥 Just like you said...he's always looking for sumn new...and he always coming with surprises

first of all, thanks a mill for all your great, entertaining and educational analyses of les twins, i enjoy them enormously. as to your questions... part two, yes please! secondly, larry and laurent are both extraordinarily talented and unique dancers. i love them both, but i do find that laurent reaches (or falls into) another dimension when dancing and it touches me deeply on an emotional level. basically, i would go as far as to say that they are the best dancers of this century and we are simply damn lucky to get to witness them in our lifetime. keep up the great work!

I like Larry for his cleanliness and Laurent for his grooves

Videos like this where you get to cover multiple videos and deconstruct the dance in small intervals along the way are some of my favorite. I know a lot of us wish more people cared about less popular dancers(especially ones outside of European battle scene) but this is quality content and knowledge regardless. The only other channel I know that gets into the intricacies is BTM, which still makes you stand out because they have an entire team. You're doing great stuff here and with time I'm hoping it inspires more eyes towards what dance has to offer beyond fan favorites and big events.

Love to see the same emotions coming out even when we revisit that first battle years later. Thank you so much for helping put your viewers on this (I know a good majority of ppl prolly already seen it, but just nice to help show it for maybe the ppl that ain't know)

The videos are awesome but I absolutely love your energy as you react. That energy enhances the experience. Great show, keep it up. 👍😊

bro you’ve gotta react to the twins dance in their more recent workshops and the participants as well id love to hear what you think

Equally good. Lau has several different layers while Larry stick to technique. The musicality in Lau head shows the different personalities and anticipates the beats. Borderline genius and crazy. A joy to watch.

As someone who's been watching them for over 10 years It all comes down to preference. Laurent is more experimental meanwhile Larry tends to stick to his style/strengths a lot more. This is what makes them Great above any other duo. They both bring something unique to the table at a high level. Overall it's hard to tell who's better because they both tend to stay away from each other's style but occasionally I've seen them pull off each other's moves which shows either of them can do what the other is doing. If I was forced to pick I would go with Laurent currently but if you asked me 3-5 years ago I would go with Larry.

Hi Metal! thanks for these amazing analyses! Ever since I started practicing dancing seriously in 2013, I’ve watched videos of les twins so many times. Like I could’ve become a doctor had I used the time to study. At some point I thought I should make the most of the time I had spent on watching them all these years and start a KZread channel myself. But then I found you and alas your analyses are so on point I really don’t have much to add😭😂 I’m just so glad to know there are people like you and some people in the comment section who have watched them for years and analyze their development in detail. I don’t know anyone who does that here in Japan. Kinda sad especially cos les twins have come here quite often as seen in this video too. Also I’m a popper myself and I appreciate your other videos too including your own dancing! You’re such an amazing dancer/dance doctor!

Love brother. Thank you for this comment for real

Personally I think they both have stretches of being better then each other. I honestly like Larry better overall but recently Laurent has been better. But I finally feel like Larry is making progress in his dance and really improving recently and being more creative.

One my favorite rounds from Laurent is juste debout 2011, semi final. I thought for sure you would react to it. I have got Laurent though. Then and now. Iv always loved the versatility, uniqueness and randomness over technicality and beat kill, but love Larry too. Definitely part 2. Maybe even one on modern les twins.

Hi metal's. U have probably seen the video of Larry dancing to My Mind by Yebba. Very emotional song and Larry brings this song to such life that u will end with tears in your eyes if you are going thru any kind of thing. I will post the link here in a minute.

Classic larry is def my fav. I still prefer his style over laurent because it's more aesthetically pleasing and smoother to watch, but right now laurent is better to me.

That last clip, forever my favorite from them

Yooo didn't think you would react to these two classics. Awesome man

I love watching both of them! I especially like to see them dance together when their magic becomes almost indecipherable. (How many slo-mos do you have to watch over and over?) Laurent will always be my favorite because he is the constant creator and poet who draws on and elevates so many kinds of aesthetics and from so many art forms. I have seen Laurent float and execute footwork that rivals Larry’s, but it is true that Laurent’s performances do not not rely on those elements. I have always wondered about Larry’s back injury from a plane flight years ago. I don’t know the date. That may be a factor in their styles being so differentiated. (Laurent’s dance in the video when he was wearing the Tom Ford shirt was done in a period of time when Laurent was dealing with a couple of injuries.) Laurent’s core movements are much stronger than Larry’s and lead to a much richer range of expression. His vocabulary seems to be much greater, as has been mentioned in previous comments. Larry connects to the music very well, but it is undeniably Laurent who connects his audience to the music. It has been said often that Larry murders the beat while Laurent hugs it. Laurent also uncannily hugs the eye of the viewer in recordings and in still photographs. Laurent is great at enhancing what Larry doing in his performances and turns up the spotlight on his brother.

Part deux, s'il vous plait!!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌

I’ve watched the twins for almost 6 years now. Lau is slightly more sensitive to music and has better fluidity. Larry used have this stop motion style which made his rounds flat but he has learned fluidity especially after learning from boogie. But the only reason Larry stands out cuz he has full mixed in his personality with his style of dance so every move looks like his own and gives him room to do anything and it just looks clean. A lot of dance have the same type of dance but there’s no personality in it

WATCH 13:15 your "zzz" sound was fitting perfect and for a sec i thought he was dancing to it...

It's The Doc... Meeeeeeeee

LARRY ALL DAY, SON

No resets, no stiffness just pure freestyle that’s all because of one thing GROOVE if current Larry had this type of groove he’d be on par with Laurent maybe even better since Laurent’s pretty creative. But this is why GROOVE is important it builds your connection to the music further enhancing your musicality, allows you to go places out of a pocket you’re in, being able to change rhythms so you’re not stuck on a specific pattern that makes rounds flat, and just dancing allowing the rhythm to take you so all your freestyles don’t look the same because of the same beat killing pattern, solely beat killing is impressive but it becomes repetitive without that sense of creativity and freedom groove brings
