NEW GET DOWN CLIP
sup yall its been a while but we've been working...
I (SUGALOO) been going out for a lot of events for the couple month and picked up some new concepts about POPPIN
What I found most interesting was the knowledge I got from Kid Boogie(Machine Gone Funk).
What I learned was something called "Pop Separation"
Basically what it means is that you learn how to pop ur body parts separately.
If its the forearm, u only pop its muscle.
If its the triceps, u only pop that muscle.
If its the chest, u kno what I mean. lol
By doing so, u'll gain more control of ur body bc u'll be more conscious about how u body moves and that will help u to have more solid popping.
So me and poppin ill been worked on that for couple days.
Trying to dance using the pop.
and it actually dramatically changed the way we dance(especially Poppin ill).
We were more calm, relaxed and were taking time towards the music.
It may not look that amazing to u yet since this was after 3day's of training. But hope u can see the difference between ourselves in the past.
P.S btw Poppin ill edited the clip so it looks stupid LOL

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
