Tecktonik(also known as "tck","electro dance"".vertigo", "Milky Way") is a form of dance based on a blend of hip hop and techno styles.
Tecktonik style also borrows heavily from cyberpunk. The music goes by a lot of different names: Electro, Jump style, Hard style, Hard core, but the only dance is the Tecktonik. It originated in Paris, France and has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube. Hardstyle is the main music style associated with Tecktonik. However, it has also become a prominent style of dancing to Electro house.
The term Tecktonik is also a registered trademark. This is the first time that the name of a dance has been protected in this way, and this has created copyright issues for dance events or other uses of the name. The name refers to the clash between music styles from Belgium and the Netherlands (hardstyle and jumpstyle) and more southern influences, similar to the collision of tectonic plates. However, Tecktonik is not a music style. The creators of the Tecktonik brand (most notably, Cyril Blanc, the artistic director of Metropolis) sell official products, such as clothes, CDs, energy drinks, etc
