Hey yo peeps...

Just wanted to drop some science and a few words of wisdom. I'm 33 and got in the game in '83. I've been doing my thing seriously from 13 to 18 and on and off since cause off work and family.

Todays cats have taken it to a whole new level and i see a sweet revolution comin in b-boying thanks to hard innovators and artists true to the REAL hip hop.

Anyone thinking of getting in...go for it. Breakdancing is accessible to all. It takes hard work and patience and above all, PASSION for dancing. Kick the wardrobe, the lingo, the bad attitude...breakin' is all about self- expression in movement through music and tempos. Feel the rythme and let your body move to it.

I was self taught, and i got pretty good. Enough that i was doing shows and teaching. If you have a local teaching...cool. If not, but you see a street cat droppin' some moves, hook up with'em and express your interest. Last option is to view music videos and record them and rewind/play them to hell trying to get the moves down. Word of caution: as there are basic moves in breakin' for all to do, there are signature moves for each dancer. Taking these signature moves for your own to use publicaly will label you as a biter and that is not positive. Take those moves and improve or modify them and bring them to a higher level. That is fresh!

Hip hop has 4 elements: DJing...MCing...GRAFFITY and BREAKDANCING. It's not the outerlook that matters, but what you bring to the floor that counts.

Keep it real!
BMR
