This is exactly why I was worried about Bboyin going mainstream. For posts like this!

I swear I wanted to pimp smack this guy with the black side of my hand for posting this nonsense. But believe me, he wasn't the only one who believe this crap, there was actually idiots at ABDC who were agreeing with him, gah! Anyway, here is the post.

"A lot of Super Cr3w fans are saying B-Boying is dancing. Well, stunts and tricks are a form of expression, but is it dancing? No, because it is called B-Boying for a reason. It isn't a "type" of dance. It is being able to do stunts and tricks.

Super Crew had cool stunts and I wouldn't complain about them, IF THEY SUPPLEMENTED the stunts and tricks with dancing and choreography. One of the members of Super Crew said that they use choreography when they do tricks and stuff. Okay, Choreography is having a theme, telling a story, using different techniques and dance moves. Choreography isn't memorizing when to toss people in the air.

I say this season, we had on B-Boys and they got to the F2 doing stunts and tricks and then justifying how it was dancing.

I say then, on season 3, we call up some acrobats in the Barnum and Bailey circus, some contortionists, and maybe some people from Cirque du Soleil. I mean, they can do stunts too, right? And to all you Super Crew fans, stunts are dancing...."

Plainly pathetic.

i'll admit i've mispoken and said that bboying is dancing, but no matter what i say ... bboying is a way of life, not just a dance (or a dance at all). It's a freestyle way of life

does this guy even know what the hell dance is?!?!?!?

D.K.O. · 08-08-2008, 11:13 AM

my definition of dancing is something you do for fun with friends ...
breakin is a 24/7 thing. the diet, the training, the sessions, the competition ... it's not just a dance

Lol - you're a little upset there. Well honestly, bboying isn't just dancing, its a sense of lifestyle. Its who you are, I don't go around saying "Im Swink, Imma Bgirl" No - I say "Im Swink - the Bgirl" Pt ___ .

Mainstream television - Booooo. It's everywhere, but the revolution will never go back to the original, it's never gonna get the meaning that it did when it first started, that's what it is honestly. Randy Jackson - was never a bboy, and Lil Mama - Ha. Come on now, what more do you expect dude?

I understand why you're upset, I was too, there's obviously a difference in bboying and stunts, they just know when to pull a hot move for the slow mo. Mhmm yeah that's the case

Bboying is a dance, and the fact that you've only been dancing for two weeks explains your uneducated opinion. Learn about this "thing" you plan on putting so much time into, and don't expect to get your shit right from watching TV. You should watch The Freshest Kids, and listen to what th OGs have to say, instead of what Lil Mama and whoever that guy is on her left..

bro ... i've only been dancing for two weeks, but i've been around bboying all my life. The kids i looked up to did it ... I know wat it means to be a bboy ... i just never got into it until a few weeks ago.

when the hell did i say i get shit from lil mama? ABDC is bs man ... i don't even watch tv ... the only ABDC i've seen is from the retards that post all the episodes up on this forum!

I think he just misunderstood what you said earlier lol.

word ... by definition, breakin is a dance ... i'm just sayin that, to me, breakin is how i live. Not how i move, or how i act, ... how i LIVE

... ... i'm just stating an opinion ... ...

Fitwee · 08-08-2008, 02:06 PM

Alright then, I just noticed that at the beggining of the thread the quote of you had to do with SuperCrew, so i expected you to be an ABDC fan, if I'm wrong my bad bro.

D.K.O. · 08-08-2008, 02:14 PM

it's cool bro ... i'm not an ABDC fan ... like i said no tv
i work so much that all i have time to do afterwards is session (much better than watchin tv if you ask me)

Fitwee · 08-08-2008, 02:15 PM

True true...

foozball · 08-08-2008, 06:31 PM

I honestly don't see much difference between bboying (the dance form of it) and ballet. Same skills are needed as in balance, power, and technique. What's the difference between a headspin and a pirouette? Same principle of spinning isn't it? Just that you pirouette on one foot and you spin on your head. Balancing on one leg in ballet is similar to Bboy Darkness doing a one handed handstand or doing an airbaby. Acrobatics are also a big part of ballet, but they don't get crap for it. There's alot of funky moves in ballet, just as there are in breaking. Not to mention that breaking incorporates alot of other forms of dance in it.

I think what people don't realize is that breaking is relatively new. It's not like ballet in that there is a rich history of it going back hundreds of years. People don't consider it a dance because they don't know anything about it. They don't know anything about it because it's new.

I think also because breaking is so underground in the USA that the only way people ever notice it is when people are doing tricks. Once the general population is wowed by a breaker doing tops and footwork, that's when you know breaking is accepted by the public as a dance form.
