Six-year-old B-Girl Terra holds it down. I have been totally smitten (and slightly obsessed) with this sultry, groovy and soulful funk-rock extravaganza. 

(Slightly belated) Happy New Year from Tokyo!

  3. … another trained monkey. poor kid!

    1. fuck you politely dude, you’re monkey and your father was a hamster

    2. Pan, you are a piece of garbage you racist pile of $hit.

    3. And you’re an untrained cunt.

    4. His comment wasn’t racist. He was saying that having a child so young performing in such a way could possibly be the results of overbearing parents; thus the child becomes a “trained monkey”. I believe he would have said the same about a similar, white child.

      1. “I believe he would have said the same about a similar, white child.”

        I trust you’re being sarcastic. If not, you might have a problem with naiveté.

    5. Bright future for this kid, good luck !

  4. What is the name of music. Very Good…

    We all wish we had these moves. Funk is indeed not dead.

  18. She’s amazing – better moves than many ‘adult experts’. I wonder how long it took her to learn? Hope she’s not exploited, her parents need to keep an eye. She’s also a real cutie – love the end look – hehe.

  19. she is amazing

  20. TO EVERYONE: IT`S A GIRL NOT A BOY!!! 😉

  21. AWESOME LITTLE GIRL….GREAT MUSIC TOO!!!!!

  22. What a fabulous little girl! So strong and so talented!

  23. Terra you are beautiful and talented. You got a bright future ahead of you.

  24. Keep it fresh. 🙂

  25. Fuck the asshole nice video the kid istalented

  26. This little girl is so amazing!

  27. That baby has skills. Pans mother can spin upside down like that, but we would all prefer her to keep her legs closed..

  28. Fresh. Crazy. That girl has some crazy power moves for an adult, let alone a 6 year old. She’s also got some flavor and musicality that can’t be taught.

    Great moves, kid. Seriously impressive. But THAT is not funk. James Brown, George Clinton, and a host of others would clown that track. Smooth, but that ain’t funky.

  30. SO the writer is smitten with a sultry 6 year old….fucking pervert

  31. Fabulous performance – the world is her oyster – I hope she keeps enjoying what she does so naturally 🙂

  32. Awesome she is

  33. Great piece if art.

    ps. such a shame there’s so much unlove in these comments.

  34. beautiful when you see a child doing things 🙂

  35. she is so good!!! people need to stop with the negative comments. this young girl is very talented!! i’d rather see a six year old do something like this than be in a beauty pageant! awesome!

  36. wow. amazing talent. do her parents dance? where did she pick up such great moves? she is going to go far in the business if she hooks up with the right people. Keep her real folks, don’t take your eye off this one

  37. just to add to my comment. I messaged Luther Brown who is a choreographer and well known for being a judge on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA. i sent him this link. Dont be surprised if he contacts you little lady. You are amazing

  38. My back is killing me just watching her! Very talented!

  39. Great moves, but why so serious?

  40. I’m just so happy that this is not another video teaching a little lady how to twerk! Her talent is amazing for being so young. Keep your head in the sky young lady,you will do great things.

  41. MARAVILLOSA NIÑA !!!! ME EMOCIONÓ MUCHO VERLA BAILAR ASÍ. BELLA BELLA !!! TENIA QUE SER AFRO PARA SENTIR LA MÚSICA EN SU CUERPECITO Y MANIFESTARLA DE ESE MODO . ARTE ARTE !!!

  42. Loved it funk is not dead!!!

  43. Cannot wait to watch this little girl grow up. So much talent!!
