Also i like the Bruce Lee approach, cause the dance is the same as the martial arts, a means of selfexpression. And even though following styles is limiting yourself to move within its boundries, everyone has gotta have a foundation.
So be like water folks, and take that wich works for you, and leave out that wich doesnt. Its Jeet Kune Do with a beat, and you gotta find your own flow.
Very wise words. When people want me to teach popping, I always tell them to go back to the foundations. I find it annoying when hiphop dancers go "Can you teach me that robot/waving move?" If they learn the basics, they can make up their own combo's. Teaching someone your moves is like encouraging them to bite.
I think he's forgetting about the impact and the bigness of the internet. Its quite hard to trace back the origins of those who laid out the foundations. Also the internet is ridded with people who know the moves, but they lack the funk that originally came with it, probably because they never seen or practiced the original styles.
Its also a bit of sloppyness from alotta teachers, if they wont teach it right, they pass on a downgraded version of how its original performance.
I cone from a martial arts background and approach learning things from that framework. A good situ encourages and applauds your individual style...but requires that you learn his material first, before you are considered a master of the system. You may be talents in some elements of it, but unless you learn it all and can apply it, you're just a talented beginner
Oops.. Sorry last paragraph. I meant to say a system that has already been proven to work for most people. If you say you are doing boogaloo, you have to learn the system and understand it ALL as the founders created it, and view it. A lot if folks forget, and take for granted, that a lot of what we see did not exist prior to them doing it. At least, their approach to it.
No natter his stylized any given thing is, foundation is important. You see this in boxing with novice fighters who want to imitate complex maneuvers of their heroes without understanding the fundamentals of a system that has already Beemer
I can understand Pete's frustration. People always want to take something, modify it, and "own" it.claiming we don't need foundation, were creating something new. Its human nature to do this I guess because we all like to feel like we "don't need to respect our elders". We feel they created stuff by "accident" but now that we have the technology to decode it, we can make it better "on purpose". It's a subtle form of rebellion, and outright unappreciation.
This doesnt mean that yungies doesnt have talent just they are not orignal to them they are creating who they are as the person they see as an idlo. For example kids see abdc people they wana dance cool so they copy moves they arent being them they are just a wanabe of that person. Therefore not orignal and not creative its not keeping it real.
wow, I guess that's your opinion...it sure ain't mine.First of all, you are I guess, a west coast "popper". I grew up with a whole bunch of real poppers in the Bronx, they created popping as a form of dance back in the 70's. You make a lot of criticism and demonstrate a lot of hate for the new generation. There is a lot of talent out there, and they may not have the "foundation" you talk about but they out-dance a lot of the people that are on TV claiming they are professional poppers now.
1- doesnt matter how many times its been said, we need constant reminders, it keeps us on the right path. so dont hate on the source!
2- boogaloo their chosen style to compliment Popping technique just like G-Style use a Pomona system. at the end of the day their all teaching popping!
3- if you can make money from what you love then do it!! anyone who crys about it being all about the money needs to reevaluate life! if you can make money from something you love, let the haters hate!
yeah ur name is poppin pete but still u do boogaloo more than other styles ...wierd huh ...
to be honest u poppin pete fucked up the whole poppin scene coz u twisted the history of poppin and u claimin that its boogaloo only coz u use wavin ,poppin,tickin etc with it...its all about money n classes bro...
Poppin Pete, keeping it real. Respect.
If you're not a popper, we don't need to here your opinion.
Seriously, ignorant fucking trolls.

@MINTLOCKtw 我个人的了解是，和很多其他元老比较，应该是popnpete，因为当taco还是学生的时候，他问pete他能不能叫popntaco，pete说行， 于是乎，现在就有了popnpete，popntaco，popntod。。。个人认为这样的说法只有老一辈的才有资格使用，现在的基本上都是poppin xxxx。我可能说的不对。。。但是确实是我了解下来的
