Hiphop Dancing

I chose to do my project in hip-hop dancing because it has now become a big part of my life. I started to do hip-hop dancing very casually at my junior college with a few physical education courses. Last year at my home university, I joined the school's hip-hop dance team. That is when I fell in love with hip-hop dance. I have always loved hip-hop music and now I love the music

I asked Egg about when he became a teacher and he said that he began teaching one year after starting to learn at “Ones To Watch.” I was surprised by his response and followed up by asking if he ever thought about teaching hip-hop before he was offered the position. Egg said, " Yeah I did but I didn't think it was going to happen this fast!! The way I do things is.... I do the basics and what I am taught. I don't worry about advancing myself too far. I see myself as humble and patient to work hard. I don't worry about many things, I just worry about getting my stuff done good first." I followed by asking how Egg likes teaching hip-hop. He said that teaching is good. He has taught for a year now and, before, Egg thought teaching was basic and easy. He didn't think there was anything special, but now, there have been students that have been with him for a year. Those students have gotten better and that brings a smile to Egg's face. Now it's a challenge to push his student even further to make them better. Egg is always asking himself, "How can I make them better?" Egg continues by saying that he also treats the students differently now, that their relationship has grown to something different. He has been more of a role model now and has to set good examples for them. He says, "I have to teach them things outside of class, not hip hop you know. There is more to being a teacher than just teaching in class to my students, some of it is outside as well." I asked Egg if he ever thought about finding that right, talented student to put a lot of effort in teaching. To explain, we always hear about the student who searches hard for the right teacher. On the other hand, the teacher also waits and waits for the right student to walk through the door. Egg said that he doesn't really wait for that right student. He sees that every student has a chance to get good. Egg will not think, " Okay this student here today isn’t going to be one of my good ones. Maybe some day in the future someone else will walk in my door." Egg admits that he has underestimated some of the students that he has. At first he thought some of his students were not going to be good but it turns out that those students got good after being in Egg's class for a year. If Egg gave up on them the first day then that would have been a total waste.

I asked Chris how many times he practices a week and he said, "In my first year of breaking, I only practiced once a week because at that time we didn't practice indoor like we do today. We practiced in Tsim Sha Tsui because they got a good floor, kind of small, but good floor." Chris and some guys went there to practice and there were always a lot of people watching them. He stayed in the crew for about 2 years but didn’t really work hard on dance because team members they were so good in breaking. Chris was the 5th guy and the other 4 are really good. At that time their team were so good. After awhile, Chris quit the team and stopped practicing breaking for a while.

He says that sometimes there's sad hip-hop or fast hip-hop. Egg says they require different types of feeling and dancing. Egg likes to dance to many types of songs, fast or slow. "When you hear happy songs or sad songs, if you dance the same way, it's weird,” says Egg. Egg shares that the music and feeling are both important to become a good dancer. He says that it is feeling, moves and a lot of practice. Egg says that there are many students out there that only learn how to dance to happy hip hop songs. With his students, he teaches them to dance to different types of music such as R&B or slower hip-hop songs to make them better hip hop dancers. I asked Egg about his goal as a dancer and his was the same as Rocks'. "I like the New York style so much," informs Egg. He just wants to get closer. He doesn’t have to get as good as them, just a bit closer. Fanny says that her goal isn't to open a school or be a star, sh
