Dance

---

After high school I was looking for something to fill my time. I was done with wrestling and swimming by this time and I was looking for something new. After watching a Capoeira demonstration at school I saw someone I knew from the SSF wrestling team. I started talking to him about how Capoeira looked a lot like breakdancing. He asked if I was interested in breakdancing. I had seen a bunch of breaking at the dances at summer camp and had been practicing my worm. He was choreographing a hip hop / break dancing piece at Skyline and asked if I would like to dance. When I said yes, he told me to go into the main theater at a certain time. I went to the theater at the time he told me, but when I went all I saw were girls in leotards doing piroettes. It didn't look like break dancing to me, so I waited in the coffee shop outside the theater. When I saw a hippity hoppity looking guy go in I followed him and asked if he was here for the break dancing. He said that he was and so I followed him down to the stage...



There were a lot of different kinds of dancers there, but there were only four other guys there for hip hop. All but two of the choreographers were students. The choreographer that I had known from SSF never showed up to practice and we heard rumors that he just dissappeared to Hawaii. The dance teacher told me to try out a practice to see if I liked it. Everyone was really nice and all the choreographers were looking for people to join their dances, but I decided to just do the hip hop / break dancing piece. That semester we choreographed the piece together with Jef leading. We got one more late arrival he was a breaker with a lot of experience. We had a lot of fun and I learned a lot. Of the four semesters that I was at Skyline College, I danced during three. These pictures are from my last dance performance. Our costumes were influenced by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
