Due to my lack of experience I was not aware of the social impact that pursuing  a dance in 2021 can be. In an open communication, I learned not only is this something that is currently  happening, but that people believe that organizations are targeting Bboys & Bgirls  for separate agendas. I am not too well versed in this area, however this is an eye opening reality we should not take lightly and become more educated in to better our people.  In support of The Hip Hop Association of Advancement and Education (HHAAE) they have taken the approach to help those people believed to be targeted. If you  know or believe someone is being targeted and you would like to help support them, please email  hhaaeboard@gmail.com HHAAE.org

​[The Washington Post] How break dancing made the leap from ’80s pop culture to the Olympic stage
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/02/09/break-dancing-olympic-sport-paris-2024/


On Feb9th, an article was created to bring awareness to a subject matter , has now created more awareness than perhaps many have recognized. Being a practitioner and avid Bboy Bgirl Community , Hip Hop advocate  I am continuously  learning the many perspectives that people in and out of our community have of these new pursued professional  moments.  To communicate even more directly the evolution of our dance and its practitioners in this day and age is setting a  tone for more than just a new move or group of movements  in our culture. 

Seeing how different groups  can come together under the mere fact of open communication, has lead me to believe we as a Bgirl and Bboy and open dance family and community , have many similarities that at least can lead us to have open dialogue amongst ourselves. This is spawning a new moment in time where our voices may truly be heard. 

Seeing ,reading, listening and being part of our communities clearing up  of scenarios on many different topics over the past month;  I took the time to look back at this popular post. While re-reading the post I read some (118+) comments  and found some random thoughts  and comments shared in its original platform.  These thoughts, be it  internet trolling or not, give an opportunity for all the practitioners to re-educate a larger demographic.  We as a HIP HOP,  Bgirl & Bboy community have  a different generational approach on  how we want to lead our lives.    Let's keep forward thinking and revolutionizing our stances. 

Take a look at the article to read what I mean. 

QuestionS of the month

Are we the Bboy and Bgirl community ready for the responsibility being bestowed upon us as the dance re gains it popularity ?  What are you doing to preserve  the bboy and bgirl  dance  so it can   persevere ?

 Being able to SHARE TIME  remains a constant in our exchange.   Choosing not to measure  and value  each experience more so being in each experience and remaining non judgmental to life's processes is WORK. To choose and not choose is a liberty not taken for granted. The harsh reality of *observing  from a third person perspective (*The inner voice that checks my reality), Moment to moment I awaken daily, carry on and then  take it down in the constant daily cycle.

MOMENTS

IS THE MUSIC ON ?

Two Step


Head nod,
bend at the knees,
​bounce in place ....
​Shifting my energy from side to side

I open my eyes

focused on my interlocking grasped fingers

So much has happened

However

the shared human experience continues, senses awaken and a moment continues .


The constant is a breath, change & perspective.

With technology bringing us closer together , data being collected, discoveries being made, a constant question I ask myself is :

Why when all our liberties are taken, and catastrophes happen, we as humans tend to lean on each other to figure it out; As soon as that moment seems to have passed ,
A change occurs and a disconnect resurrects.


What happened?


This same idea arises as the global Bboy Bgirl scene sees more popularity, in the eyes of an audience that had no idea what was going on and still yet to date there is a disconnect that people have yet to look into.

Meanwhile, the same kids' dance that created the movement continues to attract the eyes of the same youth and youthful energy the dance was created upon.

On September 11, 2001 during and after the incident IN NYC OF THE TWIN TOWERS, that caused many to lose their lives, lively hood, and families ...
and then again on Oct 22, 2012 – Nov 2, 2012 during Hurricane Sandy I witnessed these moments of uncertainty. I experienced the moment where people chose to work together to figure it out , to then a few months past by AND THE disconnect CONTINUES.


This doesn't make sense !



THIS IS ONE OF THE same reasons Why I have chosen to give my service ,of offering my knowledge, of the dance we share in common for Free.


For about the last few months I have focused on sharing our dance, in the human to human interaction, with a deeper route of Self Awareness. Witnessing many scenarios daily and honing in on a greater purpose has been very eye opening.


While on this new transition, this summer has been remarkable. Our Bboy Bgirl Community received word that our dance of Breakin is scheduled to be in the 2024 Offical Olympics. Our dance community continues to host many memorable moments of dance events. In our BBOY BGIRL LIFESTYLE dance program we have seen many of our young scholars, evolve to a new stage in our program. We continue to build with families in creating moments of value through shared learning experiences.
Sharing and building with our dance communities Bgirls and Bboy to express our Lifestyles, to even creating wonderful moments with the Youth community of The Institute of Music for children as seen on Youtube link .

Let us not forget , that we don't need something bad to happen to us for us to stay united in the movement of being human.

stop & relax / Bboy Bgirl Lifestyle

Stop & Relax
"If your pushing through your life when you are displeased and unmotivated, you’re maybe likely to repeat errors. Have some downtime to refresh and clear your mind. Focus on what is right and think about how you got to that." ​


The sounds we hear translate into the words we use . With its origins having a deeper meaning then what's at first glance . Similar to the origins of our emotions that are a collection of experiences. TO create upon yourself, the ease of use, of your mind to reduce the cycled process in the illusion of time = Relaxation.

Our own first person judgment creates the sensation of not wanting and needing TO, however another perspective maybe, a reflection of ourselves saying to stop trying so hard. Not to be confused with doing too much
Picture
For instance in the pursuit of learning more about this dance we call Breakin, I have encountered many instances of displaying My interpretation of this Cultural dance in a Circle, Cypher. I would tend to see someone with a natural ability to move their body with less struggle then what I felt. Some of these individuals seemed to gracefully do things that from my perspective  seemed very hard. Using the moment of what I experienced to duplicate that same ease in creating or obtaining a certain movement or move was easier thought of then actually done. For example: when learning windmills the bumps and bruises on my body that somehow always seemed to hit the floor and cause pain, to then practicing combinations of windmills ( windmill to 1990, windmill to airfare ) and pulling my groin muscles in the process, to practicing halos and dislocating my fingers or better yet learning a headstand or headspin and getting the little electric shock in your neck and then spraining my neck muscle , twisting my ankles while trying to get better footwork , or losing balance when top rocking.

IN these processes , in our own perception, we adapt ideas then shelf, throw away, and dismiss the Gift of an error , mistake, accident as imposed vs a subconscious proposal or suggestion.

Being able to simply just Be while decluttering my experiences helps to refresh while giving grace , gratitude, & thanks for what is .

​Have you ever felt like quitting  after pursuing something  without achieving the  results expected ?


Bboy Rival Bboy Bgirl Lifestyle
I.e from the most foundational life source ( my life ) , other peoples lives (family), personal relationships with others or things , career choices , and simply being able to obtain a desired Breakin' move I have been working on.

"(exhale, next Breathe)  , (mental recognition) I experienced it ..."

At every next moment my repeated friendly reminder is to Be able to reel myself in and organize the natural order of moments / chaos.  I reflect on moments with individuals who communicated a message  that struck a pause for me to listen more
( time seems to  freeze and then I breathe again)
, such as
" we have stages in our life " " everything we need to learn happens in kindergarten " " time heals all wounds ".

I Accept the functions of my  curious brain, to Listen to other people and what they share  with no judgement . While tears run down my face because of my mixed emotions , I Polaroid  ( capture ), the moment and move in the moment affirming it is a new moment  to breathe and express freely with no harm.  Knowing there is no wall solely the illusion I have set myself .

The idea and duality of:  People , Family , Unity , Separation, Extreme shock,   Happiness, Sadness, Anger, acceptance of Communication, Lies, Truths & the Pursuit to better  all these moments,  has always been a recurring cycle and matter embedded in how I am.

My  most recent  impressionable moment  was choosing to separate my self from  environments that  my physical and mental well being  were at jeopardy ( being around certain family members : from immediate family to extended family (community of friends ))  

For the Last 3 years  while in the middle of a  one sided feuding divorce,  my home locks were  illegally changed, & to avoid all conflicts I have  went from resting at friends and families locations, to living out of my car for the last 2 years and a half. This all While being present for my son daily, still paying my half of the rent to the landlord , & explaining to my son that for our well being staying faithful to self  preservation is the moment we are both enduring because this whole process of divorce is not my personal choice nor even thought.  


Rumination of previous experiences and my constant will to want to hold on to these relationships is always at a clash.  Balancing the duality,  of my perception and   someone else's interpretations and communication does not seem to  be reciprocated.   I used to accept other peoples' behaviors.  At one point I Believed constant  communication and sweeping under the rugg  previous  experiences solidified our true positive relationship because  the value of Our  human personal relationship is greater and these moments mark another positive evolution in our relationship. However this acceptance  leads me to realize I am setting my emotions up to be hurt once again.   Realizing as open minded and non judgmental I work on being , not Many people that ARE my family and friends are the same with me .  

I've noticed Relationships go out the window  after  others seem to label me,   for the thoughts  I share and for actions such as abruptly separating myself from instances that don't resonate well with me, to then even being ridiculed. 

Learning to be experimental at different moments when my circumstances change  has help me see  that no matter how  I was or am with someone the moment something clashes with THEIR belief  the idea to hold onto certain relationships ceases and the want to remain in a relationship is not reciprocated as I have always done.   

This leads me to  realize that I have an  INSECURITY TO WANT TO SATISFY OTHER PEOPLE  especially family and  friends  before myself. Being unaware that  my present action or no action  may have triggered  a prior experience in someone without us knowing is now reflected on me. Coming to terms  that  the reality of  other peoples actions are a product of their experiences &  thinking has been a valuable lesson.  As we,  each and every Human is Responsible with how we deal with an emotion that arises in us. Sometimes our emotions come from a gut feeling  and other  emotions come from a previous experience.      

However either way as I realize that I wake up , I remember to keep showing up, & keep making it happen
This becomes consistency and unfolds another mindset of thoughts captured that : 


I by my ability to change my environment 
and by my ability to change my perception of the environment 
have the ability to control
my genetic activity ,
mental activity 
and process of things occurring 
to problem solve effectively 
As soon as I  believe  that what is occurring to me 
is happening from a place of love and evolution 
my perception, body , and moment 
will be where  I need be 
So I give thanks to the healing  gift 
in being present 
So it is !



This is a lifestyle , NOT a gender, a move , a competition, or a means to an end , the only prize in how I value my life and moments in them is my well being.
​Be Well
