THE WAVE/LIQUID ROBOT/G-STYLE CLASS

THE WAVE/LIQUID ROBOT/G-STYLE

We have started a new class for all you popping enthusiast, which is the wave/G-style/liquid robot class. This class will be centered around waves in detail, more variation of waves, advanced styles of waves and waves combos. In general the material taught can be cataloged as swipe waves, drop waves, wave-roll combos, technical wave tricks, finger waves, wave through combos, spiral waves, ticking waves, segmented/catepillar waves, reverse palm waves, body wave combinations, wave-floorwork combos. energy ball and many more. The liquid robot style is based on a combination of bodywave, snaking, and arm hydraulics with stop actions in between. The G-style of popping is another original popping style. which originated from Pomona, california around the early 80s. This style is based around very freestyle wave combination centered around the dancer manipulating an energy ball through his body. Most significantly identified as done by the Legendary Slick Dogg, the G style is a unique style in its own right along with the boogaloo and animation styles of popping. This class is suitable for poppers who have completed all the basic technicals in wave foundations and would like to specialize. I would like to strongly emphasize that the material taught is meant to help the individual create their own style and direction and are not fixed.
