P: Practice your up groove and down groove Please take a video demonstrating these elements showing all elements (depth of your groove, chest, head and arms) 30 secs per groove -- so video should be at least 1 minute long. (But no longer than 1:30)
Hint: Pick a song that is suitable tempo to assist you with this, (ie slower is better)
L: Learn a funkstyle foundation
Please choose a foundational move from popping, locking or breaking (1 of each) -- (There are tonnes to choose from) , To assist with this, I will give you lists to choose from below, research them on youtube on how to do them and practice and demonstrate in class. These are all simple movements and are considered foundational. (The list is not exhaustive, however please choose from these)
Locking
Lock / Pace / Uncle Sam Points / Scooby Doo / Scoo bot / Stop and Go / Kick Walk / Sneak / Funky Guitar / Hand Claps (Giving 5)
PoppingFresno / old man / scarecrow / toyman / puppet / robot / Fillmore / Twist-o-flex / Ticking
R: Research
Find a crew or dancer that you like to watch from their showcases or battles. Share this video on this post as a comment and also discuss why you like to watch that particular battle / showcase. Your peers will also be asked to comment on these videos and say what they do (or don't like about the same showcase)
So in summary, tasks for this week
1) Demonstrate your homework with a video (up groove, down groove)
2) Learn 2 funkstyle foundations (1 from popping, 1 from locking)
3) Share a video of a crew or battle that you like to watch and discuss why.
From next month, I will start monthly challenges in addition to your weekly work (Think of it as assignments with your home work -- but there will be ample adjustments to the amount of work adjust so that it all balances out)
