b-boys
man, i saw some good breakdancing yesterday in dupont circle. wonder who else caught it…these guys didn’t look like dc types–they just seemed too tight, too good, really. the folks i’ve seen around town otherwiwse have been ok but still in training. these guys were strong as hell, flexible, innovative. and each one bowed after doing their short solo, very cool. loved it.
apparently breakdancing is big overseas–the ny times had an article recently on its growth in europe and asia.

There is a sub-culture in DC of men that can dance! A few friends and I went dancing at Wonderland Ballroon this weekend and I was amazed at the skill some men revealed. At random, the crown would circle around 1 guy dancing, or 2 in a dance off - there was b-boying going on, floorwork, footwork. I wanted to recruit them to modern dance. I have more to say, but can’t focus so here you go.

i love that! i know there are bars in georgetown too, and probably elsewhere, where the guys are dancing and throwing breakdance moves into the mix. now i want to go around town and start watching the guys. also, i have a new idea for a post…
