Promoters following

Yo,

I'm chilling at 7$-Pepito's house and he starts to laughs and scream....and i'm like wassup man

Then he showed me this ad on bboyworld for this jam in Blegium

RAW CIRCLES 2011 ( rocked to be remembered) 2vs2

The main event will be an international 2v

s2 bboy battle. There will be a qualifier held that day from which the two best duo's will join the 14 invited duo's.

CIRCLEKINGZ 2010 AKA QUEST FOR ETERNITY 2VS2 RAW BBOY J

AM....

well whatever...

First of all i felt surprised...not only bboys bite but also Promoters..

Anyway i feel honored of it but i just have one fear

To all the promoters in the game:

I see a lot of promoters following the trends of the circles etc....which is really good. Now the scene is changing a lot and some people really feels a difference between going to a jam on a stage in front of an audiance that a called CIVILIANS (that don t know about breakin

g) and a raw jam with 90% of bboys on the floor with more family wibe.

I just hope thoses promoters understand what they do and really gives a family wibe and TIME AND SPACE for the Cyphers...if not it won't really change from the classic jams. I hope they don't just want to fool real bboy with

a dope name (now it's so fashion to called your jam Cypher something, circles something, etc...)

And please....i'm really proud the scene is changing but FIND YOUR OWN CONCEPT AND YOUR OWN NAME....it's as toy for a promote

r to byte than for a bboy!

Salt, pepper & Spice

Yo!

i was recently chilling in different countries around the globe and i noticed something really interesting.

It seems that SOME (not all, but a majority) of people that learn break in dance studio (even if the break teacher is a Boss with knowledge) will have what i called a sterile style...They have some moves, it looks pretty ok when you see it from far but SOMETHING is missing. It's like eating plain rice with no salt in it....

I met some people in Cuba dancing in the street learing hardly and with allmost no moves...but it felt different, same in Mexico. So i ask myself what was the reason...

What i noticed is that people that learn dance in a studio sometimes don't live like bboy in the everyday life (checking the tags in the city, wanting to have some dope shoes, collecting records, beeing music lovers, doing dance session in the street when they feel it, having that bboy character in them...etc etc..). They just decided to break for other reasons like (fashion, sport activity, to impress girl at school...) but not for the love of the culture.

And i checked that people that live like bboys in the everyday life have that essential flava when they dance, i can see it when they dance...they might look like a shitty fried rice but i can feel some spices.

Discussing with Poe1 about it yesterday and he felt the same and i though it might be good to share it on bboyinsiders

so If you're a studio bboy try to live the bboy life everyday (dig the history) that would put spice, salt and pepper in your dance

and if you're a break teacher in a studio, try to get your student to embrace the culture by doing extra studio activities to show them the lifestyle....
