hip hop for the masses
A few days ago a flier caught my eye. It said "Free Hip Hop Workshop every Sunday 5-7pm". I imagined learning Janet Jackson's "If" and Justin Timberlake's "Like I Love You" and Britney's "I'm a Slave 4U".

So when i got there, i felt nervous and wasn't sure if everyone was going to be better than me...and then the class began when Bryant arrived.

Bryant is an asian guy who's part of The Movement. He's definitely a good dancer. I was looking forward to learning from him. I was a little surprised when he said the name of the workshop was "Hip Hop for Dummies" and that we'd be learning "The Roger Rabbit" and "The Running Man" for the next 2 hours.

Wow.

What was even more shocking was that almost everyone in that room except for maybe 5 of us actually knew how to do the two moves. Imagine a room 70% full of whites, latinos, and non-filipino asians (ya'll know filipinos can do the Roger Rabbit in their sleep, even my lola knows it) struggling to bring it back to the old school.

It was really interesting. I was shocked. Didn't everyone and they mama know this?

But it was beautiful, the spread of hip hop begins here.

I could
write about my weekend, but I already wrote about it in a different blog. So i'll just share the exciting stuff that i hope doesn't get jinxed::
