Meen187 Workshop

Spend Money on Knowledge


One thing that I look at with a lot of urban dance teachers or dance teachers that teach urban in Utah are lacking out on one thing.  That one thing seems to be experience.  A lot of these dancers seem to be missing that experience that teachers MUST have in order to properly educate their students on the subject. Bboy teachers here seem to teach based off what they know.  This is not a big deal as students are willing to learn whatever they can.  However, if they are paying a studio large amounts of money every month in order to learn this, it is not fair to the students.  Teachers are spending money on stuff such as new clothes or apparel.  But one thing I feel that these teachers must do is attend workshops or classes from dancers outside of Utah.  It is a rare instance when we get a very credited urban dancer to appear in Utah for a workshop.  But to travel to California or New York and attend workshop from some of the great legendary urban dancers will not only help spread the knowledge, but spread it correctly.

This is why we have such an honor to have one of the funkiest Bboys in the nation to appear in Utah.  Meen187(Dynamic Rockers) from New York is having a Bboy clinic tomorrow here in Salt Lake City.  So there is no need to spend a lot of money on plane tickets or even travel outside the state.  A $7 workshop will bring one of the funkiest Bboys to educate on the essence of Bboying.  Attending these events will not only educate your mind on this style of dance, but will also show everyone that Utah is willing to learn and willing to commit to this dance.
