Dance till ya crip-walk
April 28th 2006 01:31
So I was at the bus stop today, and there were two school kids just being their loud, young selves – boys in early highschool years on the way to hang out at the local shops. After offering me candy while pointing out the flash of purple in my hair and asking if they were being too loud, I heard one of them recite 50’s “If I Can’t”.
Naturally, I turn to the boy and ask if he’s into Hiphop. “Yeah… are you a dancer?” I nodded. The other kid goes “well duh, look at the way she’s dressed, you can fully tell bro!” Hmmm. I like that. Wearing my black pink-striped Adidas trakkies, black and pink-lined Skechers and cropped pink Babydoll sweat jacket, they thought I was going to teach a class when in fact I was on my way to an Accounting exam at uni.
“Wow! Can you breakdance?”
“A bit…”
“Oh oh! Can you crip-walk?”
“Yeah.”
When I get asked to show some moves, I oblige. Why? To show I ain’t all talk.
They were highly fascinated and as the bus was approaching, asked for my number (to learn! I swear.)
I know that the most popular “Hiphop dance moves” right now is the crip-walk and krumping. Oh don’t forget the booty shaking that females are reduced to. There’s a lot more to Hiphop dance than that. Check out the old school funk styles like popping and locking. Add some house to ya steps and Harlem shake it like a Polaroid picture. Don’t bite – the way a copycat does and not an angry dog.
Speaking of which, I have an extremely important urban dance competition (GROOVE) tomorrow. Go Groovesteps!
