Jukebox Presents “The Gift”

Thank you so much everyone who came out, to Mel for taping, and of course the awesome dancers who made this project happen! I never imagined I’d take this piece to an actual show so this is really cool for me to see.

RFH/Fusion Iowa Battle + Jukebox thoughts

This video sums up our entire trip pretty much.

EDIT:: See below the the videos for random thoughts about the trip.

The video you’ve all been waiting for! DopeSauce Crew!

Watch as Nick Kim tears  it up during the funk showcase.

I know for me, it was after battling that I was the most motivated to work on my skills. I think everyone who battled felt that way. First time battlers Josh and Joe, but they had a good opening as you can see. Made some friends through breaking, Chi town Crooks crew haha. Even Nick, who didn’t break, but hit up that funk styles showcase came back with a new love for popping and locking. I had a dream the next day after getting back that I was in a bboy battle haha. It was about 8 hours round trip, but it certainly didn’t feel that way (except for the butt cramps). That first video sums up our just messing around, talking, listening to dance music.

If you want to take your dancing to the next level, you’ll need to get off campus. Take classes, meet chicago crews, go battle, go to shows. If you’re shooting to be at the top of the NU level you won’t go far. I believe that this is something Matt tried to inspire in us when he was still a student. He saw something bigger and took ReFresH to new levels of dancing than there was in the past at NU. But he went to those classes and shows and then brought it back to NU. Same with Jason, since he’s been here, I’ve been to three battles with him (partner in 1) and in that time, I’ve seen my breaking go to new levels.

As for me, I recently took a house class because I’ve always wanted to try it out and now I’ve found something new that I love and want to pursue, but it never would have happened if I didn’t get off campus, out of what’s comfortable and usual. For some of you, the next steps will be doing show, choreographing a piece, for others it will be taking a class or auditioning for a group. If you never stretch yourself, your growth will be hindered, and of course it’s easier to do things together. That’s why RFH is here =). Seriously, rely on each other, if you see this jazz class that you want to take, be like “hey debbie, want to go take this class with me?” and then we’ll go and get owned together (“wait that rolling thing u just did… can u break it down?”). This pretty much applies to anything, but since this is a dance blog, let’s talk about dance.

Peace,

Kcheung!

Red Bull BC One in NYC this year!

For those who don’t know, the red bull bc one is one of the biggest international bboying events. Controversy and anti-BOTY/BC-one sentiment aside, it’s certainly going to have some exceptional talent from all over the world. Last year’s winner was one of my personal favorite bboys, Ronnie (yes, of Super Cr3w on ABDC).

Anyhow, I’m thinking of putting together a group to go watch it. It is unfortunately on November 18th, which is a Wednesday, but for anyone who isn’t above being truant for a day and has the cash to travel to NYC for a day, respond in the comments below or hit me up. Tickets go on sale Oct. 9th, so you’ll have to make a commitment to travel by that day. Tickets to the event are $15 plus tax and fees. More info can be found here:

Sorry for the bad lighting.

Congrats to Jason on his first show with usssss!!

BTW the better version of the vid is up on the sync in sync2RFH(kcheung)>videos

Syncplicity

I feel bad writing over the Dopeness post because that was very epic. READ THE PREVIOUS POST! Fuego.

Anyway, I’ve been asked the question a lot, what is syncplicity? In short, it’s a program which allows real time sharing and automatic updates of files on a specified folder on your computer and in our case, dance music and videos. Jason Hwang was very kind and made a picture guided tutorial of how to install and set it up found in the following link.

http://testbunny.bravehost.com/sync.html

Please take the time to set this up because it’s a great way for us to stay connected. Those who have it have all uploaded music or videos that have been inspiring and we can all share in them together. Vids of our run throughs are up on there as well. If you still need help, don’t hesitate to ask me, matt, jason, nick or any of the other people who have it set up.  PLEASE read the rules regarding this program, found in matt’s original post. If you need the password to the blog, ask one of one of the execs or OG’s who’ve been around for a while.

That’s all I can think of for now, happy sharing!

What goes down at rehearsals

Reminder, full run through vid is on the sync. Let’s rock Kaleidoscope!!
