urban dance awesomeness

Apr 03, 2009 12:12

So I've been tasting bits of street and club dance - hip hop, house, waacking, waving - at Studio Sweatshop and having a blast with it. So cool looking, so weird, and so good to see these motions broken down. There is a lot to practice to get these things right, whether you want it smooth or broken.

Hee! I am very much considering taking the Popping class that runs from late April to June. It would have implications on my travel plans, but would be totally worth the upper body control I'd develop in the process.

It's funny how much some of these styles really relate to physiology. Waacking is so girly, with postures that emphasis hips and ass, while waving and popping were obviously not developed with the distribution of bumps and jiggly bits that come along with some of us double-X-ers. I think I disturbed the teacher of the latter class because of the extreme way my cyclist's bottom protrudes.
