Poppin Pete, keeping it real. Respect.

If you're not a popper, we don't need to here your opinion.

Seriously, ignorant fucking trolls.

One man not know the meaning of basics dislike!

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.

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.

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.

But isnt that just the character of evolution?

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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.
