David "Elsewhere" Bernal (born August 2, 1979) is a popping dancer from Santa Ana, California. He became known through a viral video clip of himself dancing to Kraftwerk's song Expo 2000 [1] recorded at the Korean-American talent show Kollaboration in 2001. The clip showcased Bernal's characteristic take on the contemporary dance styles of popping and liquiding. Performances of these dances were rare at the time, and the clip became very popular and circulated on the internet.
Bernal was later hired to participate in advertisements for Heineken, Volkswagen, iPod, 7-Eleven Slurpee and Pepsi. He also made a cameo appearance in the movie You Got Served and TV performances including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. [2].
