HUSHPUPPIES EXPERIENCE

Well, call me a clone, but I purchased my first pair of hushies off of the eBay store mentioned in the last post. As I understand it, the store is based in California, but it only took 3 days for me to get my shoes. The box was a bit bent, which is surprising since there is a huge amount of protective wrapping around the box itself, so your shoes should be safe. Now, onto the actual product...

LIME GREEN is the way I rock 'em. Personally, they are a tiny bit too big, but thats just choice. The shoe itself is the real deal, flexible, soft, and super light. The sole is both smooth and supportive, and the heel is at the proper height. There's not much else I can say about these babies, as far as my inexperienced eye/body can tell, these are the real deal.Another thing to point out is that it came with a complimentary wallet made by Timberland. Its simple, 6 slots for cards, 1 for license and such in the middle, and 1 large pocket for cash. A bit small, and does not have a button or something to close, just folds over from 3, like a brochure.

The price aren't friendly, but I gotta say if u ar a true FUNKSTYLE POPPER, these shoes are A MUST HAVE!!!!!

Also,considering the fact that these colors are now nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find in the United States, and if u were to buy and get them Hush Puppies look-a-like shipped from Japan or korea like I mentioned on my prior blog post, it is somewhat cheaper and fair priced.

Also these shoes comes with multiple colors AND different design!!!
Some have Hush Puppies Logo on it, some have Croco skin, and some are laced or not.

By the way, my boy Poppin iLL already bought one of these cuz he's been obsessed w lime green hushes for a loooooong time lol

What The Funk?! Crew Street Performance!!!! POPSHOP!!! in NYC!!!

sup yall! Sugaloo posting this when he should be working on his final project but F**k that and hear me out!!! LOL

On Saturday, 24th, me and Ilya "Poppin' Ill" will be street performing in manhatten, NY!!! XD

I often go to the city to teach or practice and have seen people street performing but never actually done it
I've always had interest but never wanted to do it by myself lol

But since Ilya will be coming all the way from Parsippany,NJ,by train, I thought it would be a good chance to try it.

I'm really excited about this because of two reasons

1. Want to find out how much our performance is worth lol

2. Performing on the streets means performing in front of audiences that are NOT familier with Popping. In other words their feedback is PURE AND REAL. How COOL IS THAT!!!!!

We would probably be performing at Union Square from about 3:30PM, so if u happen to be around, come check us out!

We would be dressed some what formal and will be popping :D lol

And if possible, we would record some of our performance and post it here or on our youtube account

Also after street performing, we would be going to POPSHOP to practice with dope poppers in NYC, Popping Tito from philly, and Crazy Son&friends from D.C!!!!

POPSHOP will be at PMT studio from 5~7PM! damage is $3!!
The address is same as SUGALOO's Popping Class

And then we are going to a club event @ THE PARLOUR!!!
Its open from 8PM but we would probably be going around 9 or 10.
The address is
247 West 30th Street,New York, NY!


wooooo its gona be a LOOOOOOOG day!!!!LOL

If u wana get down with us, feel free to come to these places on Saturday!!!

oh Wish us luck on the street performance!!!XD

Peace

Mentality

I have a problem. Multiple problems. I kept blaming my physicality. As I mentioned in my last post, it is an incredibly important part of dance. However, it is through constant practice that I noticed my biggest problem, and now am man enough to acknowledge it.

I'm a little bitch.

By that I mean that my mentality is lacking. I get frustrated easily, and when I am, I lash out against anyone and anything. I blame my body for the weakness, the lack of control, the false movements. But where do all the original commands stem from? THE MIND.

So let me put it this way, I am young and inexperienced as a dancer but I'm sure most cannot argue with me about the following statement. Dancing is mental first. If you are unclear or unsure about your dance, then it will most definitely show in your movement. Just as you train to control your body, you must train to control your mind.

This is not to say that everyone must be at the perfect level of balance and mental peace. Frustration is normal. Frustration is good. It displays the desire to improve, the will to surpass an obstacle. It becomes bad when the frustration turns you away from your goal. When you let it get to your head and end up feeling upset with yourself. All those thoughts must end. Remember, control your mind to manipulate your movement the way you want it to move. Master the mind.

Hanna VS ???

Keep it Fresh!! Review~~!

Sup yall!!

Hope yall ar enjoying a great weather we ar having today!

So last weekend I went to Baltimore to Judge a popping 1 vs 1 competition (also reppin What The Funk?! to the fullest like u see in the pic with 2 other popping judges Mike the popper&Jett Jaguar from the Regulators).

The place where the event took was really nice but the size of the event were small.
This was due to lack of time and management to put together an event(that's what I heard from the organizers themselves) and it would've been much better.

For example
-The place were steaming hot cuz they could not open the window due to the fact that the building right outside had a Easter ceremony going on.
-With the size of the space they had, they could've sold some goods like drinks and maybe sponsored T-shirt or smt to improve its financial planning.

Although it seems many people had a great time at the Jam:)
I believe this was due to the unexpected high level battles on both Popping and Breaking Battle.

There were less than 15competitors on both sides but I saw something very interesting and fun to watch on every battle.

Popping side was especially interesting since the competitors brought many different styles and flavor.

There were Animators,Funk Stylers,G-Stylers,and straight up trick dancers;D lol

One of the epic battle of the day for me was

Tito(Philly)VS Wookie(Baltimore)

This is Tito(somehow I had his pic but not wookie lol)


The two represented there style to the fullest and it was really hard to judge.
Tito had west coast funkstyle mixed with animated feeling.
Wookie had Asian flavor Beatfreaking Animation style.

Tito stuck to the basics while wookie presented his unique style and was the crowd pleaser of the battle.

Tito changed his style as the music did from round 1 to 2 which was amazingly done, however, I thought he wasn't able to maintain the energy and the intensity he brought on the 1st round.
Wookie stuck to his favorite style on both rounds. Although he managed to maintain the energy and was able to change the way he approached to the beat.

This was a REALLY CLOSE BATTLE and now I think back, I feel like we should've done a tie breaker since both are great poppers

The winner of this battle was WOOKIE

I gave my vote to wookie because of the reasons written above and cuz I thought wookie attacked to the beat more.
It is really important to go with the flow of the music in dancing, no doubt. But when u are battling u have to attack the beat with ur flavor and show supremacy against the opponent and prove that u can rock the beat better than the opponent.

Overall I had a good time at the event!!
I kinda regret that I judged cuz there were a lot of great poppers to battle against!

so NO JUDGING FOR A WHILE!!
gona stick to practicing and battling :)

Big props to the organizers for putting together a good event,all the competitors who is keepin popping and breaking scene on MD real and to those who won the event!!!

Peace
