This past weekend I got to do some caricatures over at Alhambra Hot Spot. It was nice to just sit down and sketch people. Along with that, I also got to hang out with my dance crew, Family Bizness, who happened to be at the booth right next to me doing face painting.
I'll be doing the same thing this Saturday afternoon after my classes. I'll be sharing the booth with Family Bizness and I'll also be competing in both the crew competition and the b-boy battles; should be one hell of a Saturday. Anyways, here are some sketches and pictures from this past weekend!
These 2 pieces are already up in my gallery, but I never really got a chance to talk about it.
Some of you may have already seen these shirts whether by online or seeing one of the dancers wear them. Either way, I always enjoyed the way the shirts turned out, but I HATED the template I used in putting them together. It looked too cartoony, and shirts don't really look like that. Thank God I finally found a template that does the job. Anyways, I put these together simply because I wanted a better way to present them. Just having a black background didn't do it justice. And I didn't want to just place a picture of the people wearing them right next to it either. So I made the pictures a part of the background, but enough to still feel a presences throughout. Well anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!
A little while ago one of my friends, Anthony, had asked me to come teach some of the kids at Glendale High some street styles. Now this is different from teaching Glendale High School's Dance Camp where I mainly just teach them a routine.
So I gladly said yes. I personally find exciting to teach younger dancers these kinds of dances.
I had about 3 hours to teach them, so I decided to teach them two styles. I taught them breaking and locking. But I didn't just teach them a routine I went into the history of each dance and then gave them a few drills.
One of the main obstacles I found a teaching was that there were about what looked like 60 or 80 kids in the room. So I faced the challenge of making sure the people in the back were able to pick up as well. Along with that, I had to make sure that no one stepped on each other's fingers when I taught them breaking.I taught them what I thought was a pretty simple routine, but still enough for it to be a challenge.
