Who The What Now?!?!

Sup ya'll my name is SUGALOO, Member and one of the creator of What The Funk?! Crew.

many of u might be wondering why we chose such ridiculous name for our crew, well since this is beginning of another new journey for us, (well just something I have to do for skool LMAO)
I would like to explain how we came to be who we are now.

April 2009
At the time I had no knowledge about the area and its dance community,thus, the only reliable source was the Breakdance.Org. There I finally found a session spot where I can drive up to and that was called P.A.L of parsippany.

At first, I was kinda disappointed by the low level of the dancers there lol
However, I stuck around cuz the guyz were all nice and I felt at home instantly, and perhaps cuz I met Ilya(only white boy in our crew lol)

He was the only popper around the area and when I saw his dance, well let just say he wasnt a popper at all lol. But that was only cuz he never had the chance to actually learn from anybody who know how to dance poppin.

Although he had energy when he danced and also was seriously curious about poppin. After acknowledging that he only need another popper/teacher who can teach him, I decided/promised to stay and cultivate his skills to make him a sick popper

May&June 2009
Surprisingly, the number of dancers practicing at P.A.L gradually grew. They were mostly B-Boys(Since the session was called P.A.L Breakin Session) but we were blessed to meet E.T,Karlo,Ray Mak,Charles and Rezno.
Unlike Ilya and TKO(My little brother), they knew how to get down.
Since we were the only poppers they've met in NJ, we soon began to get down constantly and share knowledges,concepts,techniques and battles.

Now here comes the reasons for our crew name!!!!

one day karlo started a conversation about forming a poppin crew since there wasnt any in NJ.

At first, we(E.T) came up with the name cuz wanted to show/introduce the NJ dance community a pure and original form of poppin, EB Style/Funk Style. So that when they see us poppin, they would say "What The Funk!?" instead of "What The F**k!?" lol
and also we thought it was really catchy lol

Although now I feel like we have another main reason for having this name.

WTF?!Crew have diverse styles of poppin
and they all have original flavors.
Right now we all are trying to cultivate those flavor to be UNIQUE

We want to be DIFFERENT.

We want to be UNIQUE

so UNIQUE that when u see us get down, u will be flippin out shouting our name,,,,,,,


WHAT THE FUNK?!?


Peace
