Clogging and Hip-Hop?

I remember us talking briefly about clogging during one of our more recent classes and it reminded me of Brandon Norris, a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance and America's Best Dance Crew as a member of Dynamic Edition on Season 3.

Brandon and his group of dancers are known for their fusions of clogging and other styles, particularly hip-hop. Most of their choreography shows off their fast moving feet with clogging, but also stops to incorporate sharp, crisp movements of hip-hop, particularly in the arms.

Click here for a video clip of Brandon's moves and tell me what you think of the fusion. Do you think that it's good for clogging to be infused with other styles? Is it compatible? Or do you think clogging should remain by itself and more 'traditional'?
