Mission Statement

Popping Dance is one of the most complex dance style , from just the idea of isolating our body we are able to transform our ideas into movement. This can take more then a life time to master but with hard work there are no level that we can't reach .  The main goal of our school is to teach popping dance and give our student an opportunity to perform what they learn and use them in a creative way.

Beside training our student to be the best that they can be, our goal is to build a future for our student and beyond. It is one of my life goal to see our future generations to have an opportunity to choose popping dance as a career with a define path. Too many talented popper get lost in our  society without the mean to make a living with their craft.

I hope this school will be a way to build a system where student can come in and learn then use their skill to teach or perform with our company or use our training to create their own business.

It is very important for popping dance style to be able to showcase itself as a true art form that can  provide a career for anyone that choose it. The Old School generation have given us this great dance style and its time for us to step up and build something great for the next generation and beyond.

However I am only one man and this will only be possible if we all work together as a strong group. We are not just training our student to be a dancer, our goal is to help them turn into a professional performer , teacher , artist or what ever they want to become. When you want a real change the only way to do its to get up and do it yourself. This is the reason why I started this project is to bring great people together to build a better future for the dance style we all love.

Thank you

Tommy "Hypno" Chan's Core Foundation Mind Set

Learn to forget what you learned. You can only be one with your body if you move with your will .

Understand technique is not a dance and dance can be a technique.

Never be trap with a style but let the style flow with in.

Open mind to your weak point and turn that into your strong point.

Never rush to flow to the music because music will flows through you.

Foundation is what you train, style is who you are.

Master of one technique will let you master all technique.

Learn to teach and follow but never learn just to fit in.

The power is from peace and never from hate.

Learn to sit back and watch before showcase your own.

When things are moving fast around you then you must learn to slow down your own time.

Your eyes see your next move before you think of it.

Love to work hard then hard work will be your love.

The most complex element comes from the simplest form
