Japan Battle/Workshop Tour

RoxRite/NastyRay Adventures

Narita—->Yokohama—>Kawasaki—->Tokyo—–>Aomori—–>Hakodate—->Aomori—–>Narita—->then Finally back to USA

First, our trip began with Yokohama Japan for The World Dance Coliseum, where the organizers/promoters would fly out the best dancers in all styles from around the world to compete for the grand prize. very typical but always fun.

RoxRite and I were obviously the bboys for WDC battle in Japan. We Lost write away to All Area Crew ( tasuke and tashiki) first round. ahahaha. 4 judges voted for All Area Crew, the bboy judge Skim voted a tie. I felt it was an easy battle and i had almost 95% confidence that we won, but i believe since it was an all style judging panel we lost to power tricks with basic musicality. the battle is not online.Im sorry.

All Area crew won the whole competition in the end.congrats.

Next Stop Kawasaki for Breaking workshops.meeting up with Naugthy one and Born of Rivers crew

Being a Bboy/Dancer in LA.

Even with as many titles that I have/you have or anyone else in the dancing world, it doesn’t mean much in a city of more talk then action. More like i know him better so i will hire that guy over the qualified dancer even though his skills are 2% of what you can do.

Sadly its who you suck up too for….. I would say 85% of the time, but my goal is to find that ther 15% that see’s true skills in what they do and beleive in not some washed up corny dancers who sucks a lot of you know what to get where he/she is and there is a vast amount of those in this town……And their running it.

If you wanna be a full time dancer in LA you gota be on point with everything you do, I MEAN EVERYTHING how you dress,talk, etc.. you better not be a complete douchebag or anything stupid or else i believe you wont get far in the 15% of truth!

:EXAMPLE:

One day i saw a “basic billy” actor/gymnast i don’t even know…… what he thought he was really, who was asked to perform some easy tasks “which he looked very beginner newB status doing…” for being as skilled in acrobatics as he is. But his face was very i would say, MARKETABLE “good looking” so the director kept him for the job. meanwhile theirs a bunch of people that can do the movement 10x better and whatever else than this guy. I was not the other people but yet this happens all the time.

all this said, just keep going and dont sleep on anyone especially yourself.

I know im complaining a lot but it helps me vent out some crap and i know people read this so that makes me happy.

Nasty.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION…

Im no prophet this is just my opinion so don’t have a cow!

A few answers.

How to get better in this dance?

first off ask yourself what do you want to get out of dancing? Ex: Fame. Money, Respect, Travel, girls and so on?

Once you find that out you already half way there”knowing is half the battle” i believe if you know what you want in life

your about half way their. A lot people go to school taking random classes not knowing what “major” they want so…

really honestly what do you want out of dance..if its girls then more power to you. As long as you have a good reason for

yourself it will fuel your training a lot more than just practicing cause your friends do it. The reason might change dramatically

as time passes.

Your Mind should be training just as hard as your body…so… “your brain better be doing airflares while your body is doing airflares.”

As far as practice/training goes, “Keep Moving” theirs so many things to learn…its endless. the moment you sit down and take 30 min to think of on one

movement or some steps. you could have done a whole lot of other things. you can always come back to what you didnt learn another

time…dont get stuck just move on and come back…… so nobody should be sitting down at a practice spot having a conversation like your at Starbucks. When your being lazy and lost someone else in the world is getting crazier and focused.

I believe this goes the same for anything you try to acheive in life.

Bboys have injuries all the time, work around them.

Iron monkey was in bed for an eye surgery for half a year all that time he focused about dancing so his mind was ready for craziness

when he was healed.

I hurt my wrist for about half a year. i used my other hand ..when my wrist healed i had developed both hand type movements.

Nasty.
