Keep Breaking for Summer

In the summer I am going to have some scheduled times for us to meet. I will be finalizing the times very soon and I will let you know.

Breakdance, to me, is a challenge. It is something to achieve, refine, perfect, and invent. I strive to perfect a move. When I feel that I have mastered the move then I can see a differnt angle or point of view and I will work on refining the move. It seems like when I hit my ceiling then I can look again and my ceiling has raised higher.

I hope to see you this summer. Check back to this blog and I will post when we are meeting.

Keep on breakin'

BBoy Psyco vs Walid

Ok now this video you can really see some of the moves very clear. You have popping, locking, power moves, and freezes. You will see some other moves that you might be surprised to see. This video really shows the technique of the moves.

Be Impressed by some of the best

These BBoys are terrific. Batteling with a smile on their face. That is what breakdance is about.

The Breakdance Lingo

Yo, phat Bgirl. Did someone bite your moves? Those are phat trainers.

Definitions:

BBoy/BGirl = a guy/girl breakdancer
Biting = When you copy (bite) someone elses move.
Phat = Something that you find appealing
Trainers = Your shoes

Translations:

Hello, beautiful lady. Did someone copy your dance moves? Those are nice shoes.

Ok, my Mom wanted me to post this. She said these dance moves can impress the ladies.

In my oponion, oh yes they can. You get your moves down and put your own signiture-style on your skills and you will be gathering the attention of the females. Check out the video for the evidence.

This is worth watching a few times

I saw this video a couple years ago. It is still just as amazing as it was when I first saw it.

You can tell this little guy has seen these moves. Watch how he is persistant and keeps trying. That is what Breakdance is about. When you hit the floor you try some more.

A little Call of Duty to Break... dance

I love this game and I love break dance. This is what happens when you put two of my favorite things together.

Breakdance

A one year is ending and another year is beggining in the world of school. Those of you that are moving away will be missed. This summer I still want to have practice but I also want you to join a class at Center Stage because we all know one day a week will not be enough to increase our ability as much as two or three will. I will post the schedule when it's out and hopefully you all can join.

It's been loads of fun. Your Instructor,
Evan Ketler

Popping

This video I posted is to show my class that I am not only breakdance. I enjoy popping as much as the next guy. Another reason I posted this is because its fricken awesome! Click play to see what I mean.

Breakdance.

Kyle was back in town for an epic class of Breakdance at Center Stage! He never even told me he was in town but thats ok. We all had an epic time anyways.

Any more moves?

Please list the moves you would like me to post below. (this is to test that my students actually use this site)

Thanks

Backflips

Breakdance is now working on backlflips! We did many of them today. It is a good move to do by yourself so practice by yourself. CAUTION: Practice with mats and have a spot or practice on the trampoline. (Braden, I hope your head is feeling better. I shouldnt have let you do it by yourself. If you are gonna fall on your head make sure it doesn't miss the mat.) We are still trying to go to PPT just to work on solid flips. Have fun and I will see you next week! Peace.

Windmills

Hope this helps students.

Breakdancing in Church!

I just got back from a dance class where my scout troop did salsa for our tuesday activity after which my friend (Andy) wanted to see some moves. I did moves i had never done before! Practicing really works you guys. I can testify to that.

Windmill Update!

I did 3 windmills on saturday! I may have hurt myself in the process but it was worth it. Now all I need to do is practice what I preach and do them 30 times everyday and I will have them smoothly by next month. Now that I am doing this I expect my students to do the same and practice one move of their choice 30 times a day (I suggest a power move but its completely up to you.) Hope everybody had a great week and I will see you on wednesday.

Breakdance Re-schedule

We have added a class to our week! Now every thursday there is class as well. That is the only day my teacher can make it so I am doing this just for him. It will be good to have a guy there who can actually show you what you need to do rather than just tell you. I will see you all wednesday. Peace!

Breakdance!

Has everybody been practicing? I want to see sets on wednesday. In your set I want: 1. Top rock 2. go down 3. 6 step with a veriation 4. a freeze (stall). We will work on power moves but you dont need to do them because they take longer to master. Thanks everybody and see you wednesday. Peace.

Breakdance feildtrip

PPT! This is a reminder that the breakdance class is going to go to PPT. If we cant get in for free then we will just need to bring $6 to get in.

Also, we have to make a dance for February so if you are in my class let me know that you want to be in it or not. I will assume no until I am told otherwise. Thanks and I will see you Wednesday.
