Posted on July 17, 2014 by

I'm on a dance video tear lately, I know. But this one has been waiting several months to be posted. In March I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Sharon Jones and the Dapkings perform at the historic Fillmore in SF, along with my friends Jeremy and Kirk. It was a concert I was frankly…

My sis Cori and her boyfriend Fadhly got married recently, and we celebrated with a wonderful party at their home in Alameda last Saturday.

Mixing Up Hip-hop, House and Swing to Gabin’s “Doo Uap” (video)

Posted on June 16, 2014 by

What would happen if you tossed together four different street dances with one infectuous electro-swing song?  You'd get this routine — "It Don't Mean a Thing"!   I am excited to share with you this video of me and my friends performing at Wednesday Night Hop in Mountain View last week.  Dancers Shawn , Jeremy,…

Cookies Crew (aka Keone and Mari + 30) at WODLA 2014

Posted on June 5, 2014 by

Keone and Mari fans (and if you aren't, you should be), check out this sick group routine featuring that duo, plus a small army of other amazing dancers called simply "Cookies." (Formerly Choreo Cookies from San Diego, I'm guessing.)   This understandably placed first at World of Dance LA.

Posted on May 30, 2014 by

I unfortunately missed this superb performance by French dancers JB Mino and Tatiana Udry on Monday May 26 at Frankie100, but caught the YouTube video later.  This routine has musicality, grace, perfect timing, clever choreo, all delivered with style and character. The whole nine yards. I can't get enough of it.   Keep an eye…

Posted on May 29, 2014 by

So here's a little story about what me and some buddies did last weekend.  We took a trip from San Francisco to New York. We might have overpacked a little.   Not Pictured: Patrick and Natasha's luggage and our backpacks full of electronics. We were there for a modest dance event called "Frankie100."  The purpose was to…

Club House at World of Dance LA

Posted on May 1, 2014 by

So much to love: flawless group choreo, lots of dope little kids rocking it so hard, great music choices, and the electro-swing / house set at the end is the sickest.
