You Need Love - Gladys Knight and the Pips

I heard this song at 24 hr fitness Slauson today... the Black 24hr which is near Baldwin Hills...
THey play the best funk sometimes!

Workshop with Petite Explosion Youth in El SEGUNDO, CA

I had a great time teaching a workshop and working with the girls of "Petite Explosion" Dance Crew in El Segundo, CA.

These girls were so free and down to learn breakin, and open to my instruction. We also had a little cipher get down, where they all freestyled!

Lead by a bubbly woman named Shawn, they range from age 9 to 15 and really love to groove, dance and push them selves.

By the end of class I had them doing a breakin routine that made them all sweat, but they were all down to learn to ninja freeze, and battle each other!

Thank you Shawn for putting me in touch with these young girls who have passion and heart and dedication for dance. After Three hours of fun, I left feeling satisfied that hopefully one of those girls will stay outta trouble and focus on dance as creative release and expression to empower the true meaning of a female dedicated to HIP HOP dance!

Thank you Caddy One, for some dope fliks! Thank you New Breed Girl for the Tshirts!

"Thunder Soul"- Documentary about the Kashmere Stage Band!!

For those of you who LOVE FUNK MUSIC! I just saw one of the best documentary films ever about a high school band in the 60s and 70s in Texas (Known as the Kashmere Stage Band)...at the Museum of Tolerance.


Here's one popular well known song in the Bboy community:
Super Strut Pt. I (Kenny Dope Remix)


The documentary really was a great example about how having Arts Education in Schools is so important in cultivating youth, and enriching peoples lives.

It showed how one man, one teacher, known as "PROF", was able to cultivate these young highschool students in to creating a professional sounding band. So much Funk, So much Soul!!! Little did I know the history of this band!

I've been breaking 11 years now, and I've heard many of their songs, not knowing they were a high school band!

Thanks to Stones throw Records for helping let this music continue in it's legacy.

Some other of my fave songs, some are re-arrangements

Breakin the Law in Madison Wisconsin 2011

entered the 2 on 2 with Rokafella!

the audience gave mad love!

hilarious

on the mic giving love to the Bgirls!

Breakin the Law Event in Madison , Wisconsin, is one of my favorite events I've been to, last year and this past year. 2010 and 2011. Jairius and Katrina , who both are fluent in Mandarin, Flew me out last year to enter the Bgirl Battle, which I won, and they flew me out this year to enter the Allstyles, and to just be a part of the event.

My Workshop! the kids were down!

I taught a free workshop, and sold some tshirts, and saw some upcoming new bgirls I've never seen before.

I randomely entered the 2 on 2 battle with my first bgirl teacher ROkafella. It was a blast. Picture #3 is from that battle, this bboy took his shirt off when he was hand hopping.

It was a funny moment…

I really felt the love and energy from this event. I love the way it was set up.. and the after parties are always crazy and fun!

This year I got to walk around more at state street and go shopping, eat at a super yummy Meditteranean kabob spot… and met some awesome DJs like Kid CUT UP, and LESTER BURNER .

The Allstyles battle I entered was kinda crazy, they ran out of time, and could only host it for 20 minutes, and there were like 8 of us.

Here's the footage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4XWZovyJDE

I was super jealous about not being able to dance to POISON. LOL

Ashtar killed 4 wins, and It was dope I got to even battle :)

Here's footage from Last year, 2010 when I won.

http://bgirlpeppa.blogspot.com/2010/05/interview-from-breaking-law-and-little.html

IT was the first event last year that had 4 bgirls judging all breakin battles.

4 well respected and very skilled bgirls:

Narumi, ShieChan, Rokafella, and Abigirl… all whom I look up to.

Me, Lady Champ from Chicago, and Rokafella, my first bgirl teacher!

bgirl Dalki from HONG kong, entered the bgirl battle!

Allstyles 7 to smoke, yea i did this... i like the expressions on peoples faces in the back! 

boys from Puerto Rico!

I got to walk along state street and saw this store called KNUCKLEHEADS, the name of one of my favorite bboy crews, and friends, Flexm, Thesis, Bert, Minnesota Joe, etc...
