Trac 2 on this interview sums it up beautifully:<br /><br />"A power move to us is taking the intricacies of what was goin on around you and packaging it to make that one routine--that one go-down--become power" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSjsgKZdwXs)<br /><br />as much as hiphop heads, bboys/bgirls and funkstylers, youngsters contend what's "foundation", it's a beautiful opportunity to understand all our communities, after all dance is a social language.<br /><br />Much love to Dennis, doing workshops in the Midwest anytime soon?<br /><br />Also I was in Manila last year and got down with Jay Masta, true legend in the scene and still gets down as fresh as ever!boogaleohttp://poplockpoetry.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
