Dance Community Wiki?
For the past 4 days, I’ve been hooked on this comic book called “The Walking Dead” (which I highly recommend to anyone who reads manga, likes zombie stories, or just wants a good psychological read). I got to the 72nd issue, and couldn’t find anything after that. I got to this website that was basically the wikipedia of that series. It was a page, dedicated to only that series, filled with articles and facts. It wasn’t the first time I had come across a wiki-something, but then it got me thinking…
I asked myself, “Wouldn’t it be cool if our dance community had a wiki page, with just history and records of all that has happened since the 90s?” I know there are already wikipedia pages dedicated to more well-known teams like Kaba Modern, the Jabbawockeez, and Quest crew, but a wiki page dedicated to all that goes down in our scene would help educate and keep an account of history of all the things our WHOLE community has accomplished.
Children are the Future
June 26th. Save the date. Watch dancers as young as 5 get their groove on.
Last Saturday, Studio 429 hosted its 2nd annual youth dance competition, K-12. It was an amazing show that showcased some of the best youth teams in our beautiful dance community. If you haven’t watched some of the performances from that night already, I highly recommend you go to youtube right now and watch all of the groups that performed because it’s so refreshing and inspiring to watch talented kids at such a young age do what they love.
While I was waiting for TM Juniors to perform in the 2nd half, I watched Breakthrough’s performance from the audience. There was this kid who had a deformed right arm dancing among the others who really stood out to me. My eyes went directly to him and I couldn’t take my eyes away every time he hit the stage. Despite his handicap, I could see his passion for this art through his performance. I was so touched by his dancing. I thought to myself, “Now there’s a dancer who’s fearless.” It’s kind of cheesy, but he left a lasting impression on me. He reminded me why I love to dance. Dancing is one of the truest forms of expression and creativity, and nobody can tell you what you can or can’t do. Props to that kid. If anyone knows his name, please tell me!
Hope to see you all there on June 26th! It’s going to be magical…
God bless
Body Rock 2010 Videos
Body Rock was a huge success this year, and we were lucky enough to be apart of the production. The San Diego Civic center was definitely the spot to be at this past Saturday night. Every team that performed there definitely deserved their time on stage, and the energy was something definitely left you shaking a bit after the crowd calmed down after each “oooh” and “aaah”.
The placing was as follows: 3rd GRV, 2nd Choreo

Competing Teams:
Hello, new world.
This post is dedicated to all the freshmen out there. My last entry was dedicated to everyone with a sentiment of departure from doing something that I loved. I received many messages from people that I didn’t know, respected peers in our scene, and very close friends. The response was overwhelming, so thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
After much thought and reflection, I have decided to come back and continue filming the
Goodbye Old Friend
Update: 4/1/2010, 2nd revision
This is not an April’s fools joke. I’ve been getting a lot of heat from indirect comments about this post. I want to make this absolutely clear this is not a critique on any team in particular. This is a trend that I have noticed over the past few years. I am not stating that artists do not retain the rights to their own work, I am critiquing what we now consider
