As usual, the West crews BROUGHT THE HAWT. Although my massive love is for Poreotix because they're so fucking adorable, I just can't crush on them. But I CAN crush on Hype 5-0, oh yes, I can. They're a crew from Hawaii. There's seven members and I can totally crush on at least three of them... two more Girl Crushes, and finally this season's Boy ( Read more... )

Fuck, that's cute. Although I really wish they'd given the kid a better song to dance to than "Stanky Leg". Everybody knows I loved We Are Heroes on the last season of America's Best Dance Crew, and WAH performed to this song... but not even they could make it good. This song sucks too much to be redeemed, even by an adorable toddler. (And srsly, ( Read more... )

I just read the BGirl Guide on bboy.org and you know... fuck it. I could totally be a bgirl. I'd written it off because I'm 28 and I have wussy arms but yk, wussy arms are fixable, and 28 isn't using-a-walker territory or anything.

Next few months: working on locking and doing lots of pushups. After that: attending local breaking drop-ins.

By request of persephone82 and philady, some videos showcasing the styles I've been discussing. :)

Locking: Hilty and Bosch at the 2005 Red Bull BC One.
Locking: two Korean girls (Min Young and Hyo Yun) kickin' it up. They look so awesome. <4 This is what I want to be able to dance like, eventually.

Popping: Hyun Joon kickin' some ass.
Popping: Salah at KOD Beijing ( Read more... )

I'm currently reminding myself that there was an adjustment period when I started bellydancing and had to start listening to Middle Eastern music. I'm reminding myself that I really disliked ME music then and it did jack shit for me. But after I listened to it over and over I started getting used to it. I never really came to _like_ most ME music ( ( Read more... )

OMG popping and locking class was so much fun! :D cybress and I headed out to the Fantastic Poppers drop-in class. They were super-friendly and helped us start learning some of the basic movements like wrist pops, arm waves, etc. We stayed there for the whole session (around 3 1/2 hrs (ETA: actually it was 3 hrs)) and when we got too tired to continue ( Read more... )

So last night Frolic's uncle Yuri gave us a Wii as a combined Moo's birthday/baby present. So ask me what I've been doing with it today...

yeah, watching videos on my TV. There's an "Internet channel" on the Wii so I can go to youtube and watch videos on my TV, and of course, who else would I be watching videos of these days...

I heart you, ( Read more... )

We wants him, oh yes we does.

I was planning on returning to bellydance classes, hopefully in September... but I'm seriously considering seeing if I can find pop & lock classes and breakdancing classes first. I'd return to BD eventually because I love BD (and the costumes are way more awesome than the hiphop style clothes), but I'm extremely intrigued with the idea of learning ( Read more... )
