Dance Workshop
SpandyAndy took his first dance workshop last week. My classes were Mon – Fri, 10am – 4pm and they were in the styles of Popping, Locking, Boogaloo, and House.
Up until last week I had very little dance training. I had taken a few break dancing classes since I came to Vancouver, but I rarely break when performing SpandyAndy. Most of SpandyAndy as you can tell his freestyle.
The classes I took were taught by members of the group that founded the popping and boogaloo style of dance. The Electric Boogaloos
The classes were amazing. One of the things the teachers continued to remind us was that you have to feel the music inside of you. The techniques and dance moves are secondary to actually being FUNKY. I think that is a reason why my dance is enjoyed by so many people. I always put myself in the music and let it control my body. Now I need to practice the techniques of different styles of dance, so that I can perform them cleaner.

It is supposed to rain all week, but the forecast is for sun this weekend. If it continues that way, I’ll be sure to see you on the sunny beaches of English Bay Sat. and/or Sun. Until then, keep on dancing.
