Q & A with Hypno

How long have to been dancing?
I start dancing  late 1996. I 1st started breaking but after a few months I really felt in love with Popping and that is what I’ve been doing.

Why did you start this academy project?
Having a school just for popping is always been a dream of mine. After years of teaching open class and workshop it really made me think about how hard it is for someone to learn the dance always just by open class style. So I started to think of a way to teach student in a system that is base of foundation. This way they can do what ever style they want and be who ever they want but still have a good foundation. This site is a way for me to put everything together in one place for student to learn.

What is the best way for learning popping ?
I still think the best way to learn is from someone in person.  Learning in person will help you interact with others. Learning on you tube and online is good but its hard to really learn the meaning of popping. Also popping is like an advantage , and you can’t take this advantage from sitting in front of your computer.

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
