Letter from Bgirl A
Sup Bgirl Peppa,
I'm just starting to get back into breaking. I quit for like 10-12 months after my mom passed away from cancer. During that period I didn't dance for 8 months straight and even after that I only danced three times.
God restored the joy of dance in my life for His purpose, not mines.
I have a few questions.
1. Which characteristic is most important in a bboy or bgirl?
-Overall foundation, Style, freezes, top rock, or power moves.
I know this seems like common sense but I just wanted to see what you would say.
2. What are some battle tips? (Do's and Dont's) What should I NOT do during a battle?
3. What can I do to prepare for windmills and flares? I'm not naive, I know this will take several months but I really want to get into them.
Any answers you provide will be greatly appreciated. God bless
I believe God gives us talent, skills and abilities from dancing to singing to deliver us from hardships like drugs, gang life, alcohol and sin. If we have a creative ability to focus on God uses that to keep us from a lifestyle that would destroy us.
HERE's MY RESPONSE:
Dear Ms A:
I'm really sorry about your mom..I'm glad that you are feeling like expressing yourself through this art form again, and releasing. Dance will always be there for you. It's okay that you take breaks from it because it has unconditional love for you. as does God.
1. Which characteristic is most important in a bboy or bgirl?
It's different for everyone. But i think it's important to have a personality in your dance. to show through to your true self, otherwise your just a clone of someone else. it's really hard for somepoeple to develop their own styles, but once you do, it'
s really enjoyable. and rewarding to let your own self shine through your movements. let the music guide you . translate it through your body and it becomes an art that you enjoy and others will see that truth too.
It's important to learn foundation because it will inspire you and help you with your general flow... Your style is sometimes hard to achieve if you have no vocab yet, although should be something you always work on. Cleanliness and flow are really important to telling your story in a set.
Your entire throw down is a story. from beginning to finish. you could just to a top rocks and trip it if you execute proper, let the music flow through your body, rock the beat and make your point.
2. What are some battle tips? (Do's and Dont's) What should I NOT do during a battle?
those are things you have to find out on your own, but for sure i encourage battling as much as you can, it's a whole training in itself, you learn alot from each battle. you gain an experience everytime you do, and will only learn these things from actually battling.
don't be afraid to just do it, and yes you might be scared or nervous but that will go away with experience and time. that's the only thing i recommend is just enter the battle as much as you can if you want to get good at battling.
3. What can I do to prepare for windmills and flares? I'm not naive, I know this will take several months but I really want to get into them.
work on shoulder rocks, stretch properly your neck and shoulders and upperback. prepare your body by strenth exercises and yoga. do lots of baby freezes but dont hold them for ever or you'll jack your wrists. up.
yes i believe putting your energies in to dance is going to save you from other choices that could potentially be negative to your health and happiness and general well being.
hope this helps
please write me whenever.
love peppa
