“In a common rhythm that unifies us all …”
I tend to fade into the background, but sometimes the greatest things come when you aren't even looking. Dancing saved my soul, I have a serious case of wanderlust, and my life is a quiet mess. I love it anyway.

Who Can Roast the Most?
If anything, I can definitely say this event was entertaining. Coming out to a different city exposes you to a whole different scene than you’re used, and it is entirely refreshing and inspiring to see some new faces. This wasn’t the perfect event, and there were definitely some issues that needed to be worked out, but all in all I can at least say I enjoyed myself.
With any event, it’s still important to learn something. So here’s my random observations:
You need to dance to improve. Standing there just watching a cypher for awhile, you can even see certain people getting better. The one kid that starts off timid not being able to get started, and slowly builds bravery to actually come out.
Also, there is a specific culture that exists, and you need to learn to respect that. Obviously I don’t know everything, but with battles there is a certain amount off custom and tradition that plays out, if you want to show up you should at least learn the basics and show respect. Oh, and definitely learn your history.
And more than anything, it’s not just knowing how to dance it’s knowing how to battle.

Sundays in San Francisco, bay breeze and a whole lot of breaking. Just got back, but here’s …

Another day in the bay.
This was way last weekend, but here we go … this was just a good day in general. After work I went to pick up all the crew, then we went to a buffet for lunch and drove to Feeling the Funk. Mini-road trips are fun.It was just cool. You had mostly good vibes, a nice studio, and there was a decent amount of people. Enough that things were still cool, but you could actually move. The battles were entertaining, and the boys ended up winning, which meant they were super happy the whole way coming home.
It’s also super hilarious to see them going from obnoxiously singing the whole car ride there, and then turn into aggressive b-boys turning the battles.

I’ve heard this song about a kazillion times this weekend because the boys just wanted to watch their video the whole way back from the bay, but here is Airsteps winning battle from Saturday.
Good weekend for sure.
I always find it interesting how when battles are going on there are people still dancing in the corners of the place. Sactown Underground!

You know it’s a good battle when you run over until 1 in the morning and this much of a crowd is still supporting, plus all the people overflowing outside the building.
