DAY 133 - April 2nd 2014 (By Elin Karabuda)

Today a hiphop legend came to visit us. 

Mr. Wiggles himself! 

This guy knows A LOT, people. 

That, combined with a coolness overload, made him super duper intimidating stepping into the studio.

First on the agenda with him was a popping class. This was for sure the best popping class I could’ve imagined. One thing that opened my eyes and blew my mind was that popping actually is a very groovy style. He started with only teaching us the basic grooves and steps. We drilled it until it started to get into our bodies. Wow. This made me understand the style so much more. Later, when we added pops to the grooves, everything started makes sense. Everything.

Then he made us battle! We faced each other, two and two, and got ready for war. At first I was a little scared. Then I fixed it. I imagined I was really good at popping. Then I was.

Afterwards we had a Hiphop Theory class, followed up with a Q&A. He told us about how hiphop started, how it evolved, what dance styles it contains. He also gave us tips on how to improve ourselves and what we can do to help the hiphop community. One of his tips was: 

First learn all the rules, then break all the rules. BOOM!

I’m gonna end this little blog entree with a clip! Here you have him:
