Victoria, BC poppers unite!

[Philosopop]

Hey all,

This part of the forum seems to be a little bare right now, so I'll try and get things started and see if we've got any poppers hailing from Vancouver Island right now.

I've been popping on the island for about 8 years (that definitely does *NOT* mean that I dance with skill representative of that though), and have watched the popping community grow from a very small pretty much unheard of community into a .. very small pretty much unheard of community. Yah, that's right: I'm still looking for other poppers on the island to get down with.

If you or anyone you know is into popping, or wants to learn more about it - get in touch with me and let's meet up for some practice sessions. Victoria is really well adapted to busting out - we've got beautiful weather year-round (don't look out the window right now though, it's grey and drizzly), and tons of spots to get together.

I've got loads of music, a portable music player, and I'm super stoked on getting together with people to practice - I don't think we need anything more than that.

Give some shout outs if you hail from this part of BC!

Hey Hector!

Thanks, that's a dope offer! A friend and I are really trying to make the effort to get over to Van for a workshop - I remember taking one at UBC about five years ago with two guys - Jheric and Dennis.

Do you know of anything like that that is currently going on?

[Hectorious]

nothing really going on rite now

most recent thing was we set up a few classes for jsmooth to teach @ in january, also we threw a jam called 'funk @ first sight' where he judged!

we should've posted it on this site! but we didn't, prolly cuz we mostly use nustudios for local stuff

a few friends of mine teach regularly @ ubc if u wanna check that out tho

[Philosopop]

Yo,

I'd love to check that out - can you post some details about their classes and stuff?

Next time you bring a guy like JSmooth out, hit this board up with the info too!

Hey thanks a lot!

I'm just in the midst of computer problems right now and haven't had internet access for about a month. It's weird how small my world seems. That's all good though I guess, it just means more time to practice grooving.

A friend and I are going to try and make the trip across some time around May - I'll get in touch with you before hand and maybe we can meet up with you and your boys (and school us in the trade).

Off the library terminal for now, be back when the computers are functional again at home.

Hope this thread is still alive.. I'm planning to travel across Canada starting in Janurary, then maybe hit the states- taking a bit of time off. Anyways, I think I'm going to start in BC- not sure where but, will be somewhere. I'd be down to get down with you guys during the month of Jan/Feb if you guys are around/ available. I'm from Toronto BTW.

Let me know!

Peaaaceeeeeeeeeeeeee
