Popping Dance Academy Start your Tutting training in the right mind set and your future will be unlimited

One major mistake that most beginner make with tuting is they start out thinking is all move base and everything have to be new with each movement. Tutting is really not just moves set to another set, its really about how you build your groove.

Digit will help you with your waves starting points and end because of the finger control. In… Continue

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
