“Groovaloo” brings b-boying to the stage with mixed results

Posted on September 26, 2009 by

Got to see the Groovaloos stage show at the Joyce Theater last night with some friends. It's a very impressive hip-hop dance show with the most fully realized combination of dance performance, staging, sound, and theater that I've ever seen staged.  For someone who wants to see an energetic, well-presented demonstration of b-boying, you can't…

Posted on May 3, 2009 by

Today I performed at my first paid breaking gig: a kid's birthday party in Queens.  The spot was one of those party spaces for toddlers complete with themed decorations (from Power Rangers to Hannah Montana), lots of group games, gift bags, and everything else that a six-year-old wants to celebrate his or her special day. …

Posted on April 11, 2009 by

Here's my solo that I'm working on for the breaking performance I'm doing with my group at PMT Studios next week.  Yes, the ending is still not done yet, and my swipes need a lot of work. The song is of course "Body Movin'" by the Beastie Boys (1998).

Awesome breaking performance last night!

Posted on November 22, 2008 by

Last night at PMT Studios, my breaking performance group and I were the opening act for the Fall Dance Showcase.  It was a packed audience — including a good 15 or so of my friends, family and co-workers, which was super awesome.  It's both great and nerve-wracking going first in the lineup because you don't…
