BREAK PERCEPTIONS

This is five part series about the perspective of break dancing through five talented, inspirational individuals. I've been given the opportunity to practice and be a part of the same crew with these people who continue to motivate me as a dancer. Even if you are not a dancer, I advise you to check these videos out... I think they'll inspire you nonetheless. c:

Speak out photos!

I'm kinda late, but these are some pictures from the show I did with UNITeam back in October for 'Ideas worth Rhyming'. Man... I make the weirdest faces when I dance.

Ideas Worth Rhyming

I told myself a long time ago that if I ever got an dslr, I would take pictures with it for my blog, so I guess it's finally happening! Anyways..

I did a show on Sunday with Tafiya, Andrew and Emma for a spoken word event for Speak Out. I have to say that it was a pretty big deal for me since I was kind of in charge without even realizing aha. It was my first time at this kind of event and I learned so much from those couple hours. It actually really inspired me. By the time it got to us it was around 4:30, and hour and a half later than they said we would go on but whatever. With this show, I had the time to think through my moves and I just went with the flow. Normally I would just do a set I've done a countless number of times really quickly and just throw in a six step here and there lol I was really happy with our performance.. and Emma did GREAT for her first show (':

Hopefully there will be pics of the event soon to post!

"Not Giving In"

I think everyone should take the time to watch this. Truly describes the meaning of hip hop... plus it takes place in the Philippines and it's a pretty sick video aha.

p.s. haven't posted in like 4 and a half months.

Session

Honestly, yesterday was one of the best sessions. First, I had perfect timing with busing there and I got there early at around 4:40. Bought myself a snack and went to the class. We learned about circling and traveling with top rock. I was so glad that Kareen could teach us. At session I was practicing my set and I actually used it in a couple ciphers. A couple of people came up to me and complemented my footwork and threads which made me really happy. I feel like I could only see my improvement when other people see it. Many other people also helped me to improve my set and learned some more stuff from teacher. And I love how they played capsule and everyone was all hyped up. Yesterday was like a make-up for last week's awkward session aha

First Battle

Today was an awesome and fun day, even though I didn't make the top 16. This battle gave me a lot of experience and i'm glad I signed up. At least now I know where I can improve on. Joined in ciphers a couple times so hopefully i'll be able to cipher more at sessions!

I start in the second half of the video.

p.s. The fumbles on the chairs and the ending bothers me lol

Wow so goooooooood, I am now  motivated for Saturday. First battle! Hopefully I'll be able to go.

I can do a pretty solid head stand now, woohoo. I actually feel really good when people say I did well or improved when it comes to breaking. c: hehe but I feel that i'm making breaking a higher priority than my art right now... I better have time to draw this weekend.

Last session at yordale

... for a while. Fun session like always and learned quite a few things that can come in handy. Did my first battle but I don't even know what I was doing lol

Five minutes of cyphering at Unity Kickoff. (:

Unity Kickoff

Came home from unity kickoff. It inspired me so much. lol Amazing job to all those who preformed. I had an awesome time. :) I'll post a polaroid and a video tomorrow. hehe
