Summer Breaking

I've spent a good part of the last year breaking with a group of young professionals in San Francisco. After taking a break, I can definitely say b-boying is once again a big part of my life.

Part of my training regiment is to record, watch and correct. Sometimes, moves that feels cool in the moment look terrible and since we're our own worst critics, who better to point it out than me? So far, so good. I've been breaking since 1998 but have improved the most over the last 2 years. No one told me how bad I was during my first 8 years so I continued down the same dance-detrimental path. But ever since I started recording practice, I've been able to watch myself, cringe and then progress by noting what needs fixing.
