I still remember the first time I accidentally ran into the first version of freestyledance.com years ago. I was totally blown away by the dance footage posted on there by these West Coast Freestyle Dancers. Their style was very smooth and had so much style. They were also featured on a documentary called Show & Prove: A Freestyle Dance Experience. I had no idea who they were at the time but I can honestly say that they’ve influenced the way I dance today. One day the site was taken down, but thanks to youtube, I ran into one of the old clips again! It turned out that it was from one of the dancers from freestyledance.com who went by the name Avant Garde, and also got down with SWAT. I’ve always wanted to talk to one of them and ask how the scene was like through their eyes. I feel very lucky that we were able to get an interview with him. You can check out his site at www.freestyledance.com, and check out his youtube channel under the user account avantgarde001.

“I learned to “Free” myself from having to look similar to someone else just to “fit in” or even to be classified within a style..”

OC: Give us a brief introduction about yourself
JAY: I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I have been dancing since I was 3yrs old and have been practicing the art of freestyledance for 18yrs now. I live my life within the universal laws of GOD.

OC: What experience was it, that got you into dancing growing up?
JAY: It was my love for music that prompted me to dance as a young one. The experience of sound moved my spirit and in turn gave me the instructions on how to dance this feeling out.

OC: Which dancers inspired you when you first started? Which dancers inspire you now?
JAY: First I would have to say Corey (aka Classic from SWAT & Founder) he instilled and inspired me to become ME. The words know thy self comes to mind when I think about him. Classic had no style barriers and taught me and my crew to have none as well…this is how I learned to “Free” myself from having to look similar to someone else just to “fit in” or even to be classified within a style..like hip-hop, house, breaking, poppin etc. Secondly Masai….the best freestyle dancer I have seen in my life to date!!! Myself and another crew mate had a battle with this guy(we lost honorably ask Will I am) and from that encounter in 1999 till now has changed how I see and feel dance & music. He gave that extra push I needed to realize just how far the dance & body can go in the arts of improv or Freestyle dancing. My style of dance took on a drastic change after this and also my choice of music became very broad as well. Major love and thanks to these
brothers.

OC: Describe your dance style?
JAY: Its me…a mixture of movements that make up how I feel to the music at that moment in time.

“You cannot teach a dancer to find their own way of expressing themselves but you can lead them in the right direction to bring them into their own expression of dance.”

OC: Give us a brief background on how the dance scene was like back then? Who were some of the key dancers/crews of that time?
JAY: The clubs were intense ..you had to be very practiced in the art of self-dancing(freestyle) to hold your own in the circles of those times. You really could suffer majorly if you came with half-ass energy and technique because crews like Bad habits, Lost tribe, The System, Dynamite Soul or Scheme team who kick your ass quickly out the circle or worse. You had to earn your way into the circles in the Golden era of hip-hop.

OC: Tell us about the freestyledance website? What inspired you to start it?
JAY: Freestyledance.com has took on many different forms over the years…but mainly it is to be a hub of info,entertainment & sharing about the art of the dance.
This site currently is under new management…..but let’s just say its still in the hands of the right group of people :-)

OC: Tell us about Urban Contemporary Dance Company? What inspired you to start it?
JAY: UCDC was started by myself and Reverse(Jeloni) of Majestic Movements but this vision ran onto some problems and my dance studio adopted the name in time. My company of today(ROSEMAN) stands in its place as far as the original mission statement that was placed on UCDC.

OC: Do you guys currently teach anywhere?
JAY: No.. I only Guide once in a while to people who truly want to find themselves within the art of dance. You cannot teach a dancer to find their own way of expressing themselves but you can lead them in the right direction to bring them into their own expression of dance.

OC: What dance styles did you study? Was Hip-Hop your first love, or did you start out doing other styles (b-boying, house, etc)
JAY: Well I started out with Breaking and tap at the age of 5 thru 10. Then it was new jack(R & B dances…the roger rabbit, the guess etc.) and then on to at last Freestyledancing in 1991. I never really took classes for the arts but I was just inspired by the music and wanted to express myself through it by dancing.

“Know thyself in dance and you will be yourself in the dance. Let go of your current dance style and be your own style. ”

OC: Define Hip-Hop dance coming from you.
JAY: Ok in my opinion hip-hop was a culture and a lifestyle than an actual dance style. You already have popping, locking, & breaking underneath the hip-hop umbrella so to me Hip-hop is a essence of the movement not a dance of the movement. There is true hip-hop music but the dance is what you make it within the culture of Hip-Hop.

OC: How do you feel about some of the newer Hip-Hop styles like Krumpin, Turfin, etc.?
JAY: I call these the “IN” styles… one because they all end in “IN” and secondly because I believe they have short lifespans as a style of dance. In other words it’s a “in” style to be in now…can these genres withstand the test of time…I doubt it. I challenge Jerkin, Krumpin, Jookin & Turfin dancers to make up their own style of dance to whatever styles of music and own it on their own accord. Freestyle get’s rid of style barriers and opens the mind body and spirit to “New” ways of movement to music & sounds.

OC: What was the last song you got down to? What album are you currently feeling at the moment?
JAY: I can’t call it …for real..I’m all over the damn place when it comes to my first love music. I just listen to whatever moves me at the time. It could be jazz, house, Hip-hop, experimental grooves, R & B new & old etc. I used to feel albums ….but the times now in the digital age dictate I just feel songs from albums..feel me.

OC: Where are some current spots people go to get down in your area nowadays?
JAY: Few if any…or maybe I’m just detached from it all now giving the fact I train at my studio and record now. I go to DEEP ..it’s a house music club in Hollywood….everybody moves there and loves the sound..Hip-Hop venues have lost their spirit to me and have just turn into social arena’s and meat markets. I don’t know how the 18 and over crowd is because I am not in the loop of dancers in that demographic, but I hope as the music changes, the mood and feel of clubs change as well with this new Generation coming up.

OC: What is most important if someone wants to get better at their freestyle?
JAY: Their sense of self. Know thyself in dance and you will be yourself in the dance. Let go of your current dance style and be your own style. You ask how to achieve this? Empty your mind and dance from an inspirational point of view…listen to music that makes you feel good and moves your soul … just let go…the more you practice in this manner you will be free to do you, until your style starts to take on a shape of its own.

OC: How do you feel about shows like America’s Best Dance
Crew, and So You Think You Can Dance, You Got Served movie, etc? Do
you think it does dance culture any justice?
JAY: I think its good for a certain type of dancer..but certainly not a freestyledancer. Hey for others that take classes all the time and learn routines ..Ok it gets them exposure and money in some cases, but the structure of these shows caters to this “type” of dancer. I don’t “Think I can dance” I KNOW….let just say, its not my place to be on those shows. Justice …hmm to a degree but these type of shows does not cover the “whole” spectrum of dance and its many genre’s, and also does not give the dancer(s) a proper platform of self-expression.

OC: What is your DVD documentary “Show & Prove” about?
JAY: Its just a Doc. about a few members of West Coast Finest and just good old entertainment in regards to freestyledancing.

OC: Where can people learn more about or purchase your DVD?
JAY: Its not for sale anymore…its free..that VHS does not reflect who I am now..in other words its dated….with time comes change. My Youtube name is Avantgarde001…hit me up for a free copy if you like. I am also giving away our first crew doc. called, “Freestyle: The Begining of the End” for free as well.

OC: What was the biggest obstacle in your life as a dancer?
JAY: Myself…I am. Once I do what is needed by GOD, my so called obstacle will disappear. It’s a Universal Law!!!

OC: What is a normal day for you like (outside of dance)? Any other hobbies?
JAY: Tending to my Family, Dance Company(ROSEMAN), mind, body & spirit. Hobbies include swimming, Motion Graphics, exercise of mostly all kinds(bikes, weight lifting, gymnastics etc.) and silencing the mind.

OC: What was your most memorable performance, session, or battle?
JAY: The time I battled Masai at Carlos and Charlie’s in Hollywood. This was the best Freestyledancer I’ve seen in my life to date. Myself and another teammate lost but gained so much more from this experience.

OC: What is your philosophy on dance that you would like to share with upcoming dancers?
JAY: Just dance your own dance!!!

OC: Thanks for doing this interview with us. Any last shout outs?
JAY: To everybody pushing the limits on this dance ish!!!

Thanks for the opportunity ..big ups!!!

CypherStyles / GRIZ: My name is Barry Rabkin and a lot of your readers may know me as BBoy GRIZ. My company CypherStyles.com is the Largest 4 Element Hip Hop Video Store and Street Dance Source on the Planet. Our selection is expanding every day to include all the newest releases and over 1000+ Different Training Videos, Battles and Documentaries. We serve as a resource to unite, inform and educate the Global Community of Street Dancers, DJs, MC’s, Graffiti Writers and Hip Hop Heads worldwide.

OC: How did the idea come about?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: I always loved watching street dance videos for inspiration and fresh ideas for my BBoying and House Dancing, but I was disappointed by the lack of selection and service of other stores. Even though I didn’t have any background in business, I knew like the street dance community deserved better so I started my own dream hip hop video store. The rest is history =). We’re now bringing dope Four Element Hip Hop videos to every corner of the earth, and ushering new people into the culture every day.

OC: Tell us a little bit about your background? Were you a dancer or filmmaker?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: My mom had me in dance classes when I was little. After that I got into music and played funk drums and electric slap bass for years, and listened to tons of techno and breaks. To this day that’s really helped me find and ride the beats of whatever I’m listening to. I went to my first rave in 99′ and was hooked on house dancing, then after seeing Israel’s “Freshest Kids” I started learning to break with friends, started a breakdancing club at my college, and started attending and throwing battles. This was near Chicago and Milwaukee, both of which have good scenes, and we made a video while still in college called “School of Hard Knocks,” a battle between many of the schools and colleges in the midwest.

Since then I’ve been involved with street dance full time, teaching and performing street dance styles and distributing the best battles and instructional videos all over the world through CypherStyles. I’m still a devoted street dancer and I practice house, hip hop, club, bboying and rave styles very often. I really love the freedom, self expression and energy of street dance styles, and I feel very blessed to be able to share that with others. Street dance is where it’s at!

OC: So you’ve been street dancing for a long time. What advice do you have for other street dancers?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: I’ll be releasing a series of mass-distributed training videos for house, hip hop, club, bboying and rave/tektonik dance through CypherStyles to share all the secrets I’ve picked up along the way.

I want to share a quick tip that has made a huge difference in my progress with the OneCypher.com audience:

“If you try to do do everything you won’t do anything. The more you focus your training the faster you will progress.” So if you want to pick up new moves or improve specific transitions or combos, DO NOT go to your next practice session without any goals in mind, and just randomly try 100 different moves. For your next practice session pick 2 or 3 moves, transitions or combos you really want to improve at and put the majority of your time and focus into getting those specific moves down.

When I’m just starting to get a move down I do sets of “Triples” and repeat the move 3 times, and if any of the times aren’t on point I start over at 1. Once I progress in the move, and want to get it completely down I do “Triple Triples” and do a 3 sets of 3 repetitions of the move. If I miss any of them, even if I’m on the last one, I start over at 1. I don’t stop til I’ve gotten through the Triple Triple without a mistake.

This quickly builds the necessary muscles and teaches you to concentrate and do the moves reliably with perfect form. This is the best secret weapon I’ve learned to make fast progress adding a vast array of movements to my arsenal. I’ve got a billion more secrets to teach and this is one every single dancer should use to accelerate their progress.

OC: What were some of the struggles you had to go through starting this business from scratch?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: I first started laying the foundation for CypherStyles out of my dorm room when I was 20. I was a Psychology major in school and I had no background in business, so my biggest challenge was educating myself in all the business skills needed to start and grow a company.

I’m 24 now and I’ve learned a huge amount about business law, contracts, customer service, e-commerce, html, social networking, viral video, search engine optimization, video editing, graphic design, accounting, management, pay per click advertising, marketing, beat production, inventory management and more.

Most of it is actually pretty fun once you learn the ropes, but it was hard at the beginning when I was just learning. I have to give a huge thank you to my co-worker John for handling a lot of the accounting and technical work. It’s really freed me up to put more time into new product development and building new partnerships.

OC: What advice can you give upcoming entrepreneurs?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: If you aren’t obsessed don’t bother. You can build a business up, but you’ve got to understand it’s not some fun little side project to spend a few minutes on from time to time. If you want to build a customer following, you’ve got to treat it as a serious business.

I’ve paid my dues and put in years of 80 hour work weeks, endless research and late nights. I would do it all again, I love what I do at CypherStyles but any entrepreneur needs to know, starting your own successful business is a very serious commitment of time and energy. If you are doing it right, your work is a big part of your life.

You also have to remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. You can’t pull an all nighter like in high school, get your work done and be fried the next day, because you’re going to have more work coming. It’s important to pace yourself and make time for exercise, sleep, friends and relaxation so you can stay fresh for the long haul instead of burning out.

OC: How do you feel about the dance scene today, as portrayed through the media, as well as the local underground Jams?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: I think this is a golden age for street dance. It’s not overly commercialized, and most people at jams and battles understand the culture and have respect for it. In the early 80’s street dance got played out because everyone just wanted to learn windmills and had no idea what street dance was about. Now people won’t give props to a biter with no soul, self expression or originality.

There’s a well recognized line between a BBoy and a Breakdancer and I think that stigma preserves the culture and keeps it from just becoming a gymnastics event. There is an unbelievable level of inspiring talent all over the world in house, popping, locking and breaking. The street dance communities diversity and ability is at the highest level it’s ever been.

As new dancers get involved and veterans keep practicing, the scene’s only getting better. I couldn’t be more impressed with where street dance is at, both at local underground jams, regional jams and globally.

OC: Where would you like to see the dance scene 10 years from now?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: Most great dancers I know can’t make a living dancing full time and have to have separate jobs. I hope that street dance can make its way into the X-Games and Olympics. There are so many dancers with so much love for the culture and so much talent that deserve to make a good living for their ability.

You can take someone who knows nothing about street dance and show them a clip of a dope dancer like Hiro, Physicx, Ivan, Junior or Machine, and they’ll be blown away. These dancers deserve to be respected just like famous pop stars and athletes.

I hope in 10 years the street dance industry is well established enough that dancers can make a comfortable living doing what they love. CypherStyles, America’s Best Dance Crew, So You Think You Can Dance, Step Up, Planet BBoy and Red Bull BC One are all helping to bring street dance culture to a mass audience.

OC: Do you have a review process of each product before posting it on your site? Do you watch each DVD before deciding to sell it on your site?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: I watch every video we sell on CypherStyles and my policy is “If I wouldn’t buy it, I won’t sell it.” If I know a videos going to be good, like Battle of the Year, I’ll agree to distribute it without watching it first, but that’s only for videos with a reputation of consistent quality.

OC: What are some of your “must-buys” that you can recommend?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: I’ve seen every video we carry, so picking from 1000+ Videos is really hard! I can name a top few:

Storms Footwork Fundamentals is the best BBoy Floorwork Instructional DVD in existence, it packs in almost 100 different moves and teaches them all clearly. It’s very well done, and there’s no better video to learn more floor moves.

Brooklyn Terry Footwork Fanatic – This cat is the truth. He’s easily one of the best house heads alive today. Every single step he takes is steeped in oceanfuls of flavor and funk. Getting to share talent like this with the community and give back to pioneers like Terry is the thing I love most about doing CypherStyles.

Freshest Kids is a brilliant documentary about the roots of BBoying and where it came from. It features tons of interviews and clearly shows the birth and evolution of the dance and how it’s tied in with Hip Hop Culture. Props to the director Israel, my fellow Hebrew Hip Hop Head. It’s impossible to watch this movie and not want to become a BBoy or BGirl!

There are tons of videos with endless power, but in terms of pure BBoy Style and Flavor, the most diverse, heated, closest matched, balls to the wall battle I’ve ever seen is Lords of the Floor 2, featuring legendary cats like Crumbs, Ruen, Frankie Flave, Dyzee, Free, Orb, Lil Jon, Bebe, Kmel, El Nino and many more. It’s incredibly well shot, well produced and has some of the best BBoys on the planet in the most heated battles of their lives. Every time I watch this video I see a million new things to love about it! I could talk all day about great videos, but if you’re going to watch anything these are the ones I recommend the most.

OC: What are some of your current specials happening with your store now?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: The newest, hottest items are all bundled together as a discounted pack: The Notorious IBE 2008, The International Battle of the Year 2008 and The UK BBoy Championship 2008. The bundle has been flying off the shelf and if you watch the free previews for them you’ll see why people are eating these up!

OC: How can people contact you?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: Just hit me up at CypherStyles@gmail.com with any questions and I’ll be happy to help you out.

OC: Thank you so much for doing this interview with us. Do you have any last shout outs?

CypherStyles / GRIZ: Lacouir Yancey / BBoy Spirit was the first BBoy to really take me under his wing and show me the ropes. He didn’t just give me instructions on the steps, he gave me a passion for the culture, the soul, the attitude and emotion beneath the moves.

I want to thank Koneerok, Hypno, PoeOne, Cros1, Asia1, Crumbs, Storm, Backspin, Israel, Rishi, Randolph, Swiftrock and the Beloit Breakers for their support right from the beginning. Also thanks to Julio and the BKC Family, Johnnyboy in LA, Christina, John and my fiancee Sarah for all their hard work and support, and to my folks for believing in my vision! Props to everyone out there making contributions to street dance and hip hop culture.

OC: PEACE!!!

“Rhythm is 1st and foremost the foundation
for every street dance.”

One Cypher: Being involved in the game as long as you have, describe the evolution of Hip-Hop dance as seen through your eyes. How was it then? How is it now? Both in terms of the streets as well as in the entertainment industry?
Buddha Stretch: I think HipHop as a dance hasn’t evolved much. I think the biggest difference was that back then, there was no Jazz dance influence in Hip Hop dance. It was strictly street, untrained, untamed, and RAW!

One Cypher: How did you get into dance? Was it something you were always passionate about as a child?
Buddha Stretch: My entry into hiphop was as a dancer in the UNION SQUARE nightclub. My crew and I opened up for artists such as Eric B. & Rakim, Salt & Peppa, BDP, etc. I was into dance as a child, watching “SoulTrain” on TV, trying to imitate the dancers and different dances I saw.

One Cypher: What other things are you into besides dance?
Buddha Stretch: Before dance, I was heavy into art, particularly cartooning. I also wanted to be an astronaut. I’m heavy into comics and learned to read through them.

One Cypher: Who were your influences? Was there anyone you looked up to?
Buddha Stretch: I would have to say my biggest influences were the SOUL TRAIN dancers. I saw dancers such as The Lockers, The Electric Boogaloos, as well as several other dancers. My boy Louski was a Soul Train dancer. It was my dream to dance going down the Soul Train line and I got to do it with him.

One Cypher: With all the controversy about what Hip Hop dance is defined as nowadays, what is Hip Hop dance to you?
Buddha Stretch: HIPHOP as a dance isn’t controversial, it’s just that many bboys want what they do to be called “hiphop”. But actually, bboying pre-dates the word “hiphop”. So they call what we did “freestyle”. Hiphop dance is just ORGANIZED URBAN SOCIAL DANCING….anyone who says any different, doesn’t get it!

“The music dictates what the dancer does,
not the other way around.”

One Cypher: The Freestyle Hip Hop dance style you innovated is very unique. How did the style develop during it’s early stages? Who were some key dancers that made it what it is today?
Buddha Stretch: My style developed overtime, combining every style of dance I came in contact with. I started as a popper and gradually learned all the latest “party” dances. Around the time I got the gig @ Union Square, I started adding everything together, doing my 1st choreography. I think the other people I came up with like PETER PAUL, CALEAF, and LINK all contributed to the style I do now.

One Cypher: What is your most memorable experience in your entire dance career so far?
Buddha Stretch: My most memorable moment in my career was working with Michael Jackson, on the “REMEMBER THE TIME” music video. Just making up the choreography, and actually having to TEACH MICHEAL JACKSON! Nothin so far compares….

One Cypher: Who were some of your favorite dancers back then? Favorite dancers now?
Buddha Stretch: My favorite dancers from back then were Scoob & Scrap (we used to battle all the time), a guy named DANILO, Marquest and Fendi, etc. My favorites now are a Japanese group called Electric Trouble, and also a crew called the AMOUNT BOYS, and a dancer named ERIC NEGRON, (he did the Rah Digga video with me)

One Cypher: Sticking to Foundation Vs.. being Avant Garde, what is your opinion on this topic in terms of dance?
Buddha Stretch: I’m not one for the “do whatever you want, it’s still dance” school. HIPHOP as a dance is founded in RHYTHM, STYLE, & TECHNIQUE. Rhythm is 1st and foremost the foundation FOR EVERY STREET DANCE! Style determines what the dance is about, and technique shows how it’s done.

“Hip Hop culture in general was always about expression…Giving voice to a culture and people who had no voice. Now the world hears us!”

One Cypher: What is your dance philosophy?
Buddha Stretch: My philosophy on hip-hop is, the music comes 1st! The music dictates what the dancer does, not the other way around.

One Cypher: For dancers who are trying to develop their own style right now, what are some words of wisdom for them to go by?
Buddha Stretch: For dancers coming up, learn as much as you can, listen to as much music as possible. Be as versatile as you can be

One Cypher: What was the biggest obstacle you’ve faced ever since you got into dancing?
Buddha Stretch: My biggest obstacle in this business was being young, BLACK, and talented in HIP-HOP. All those things were considerd a threat back then and they still are now!

One Cypher: How do you feel music and dance is a positive outlet of expression for the youth?
Buddha Stretch: HIP-HOP culture in general was always about expression. Hiphop was the ghetto’s way of expressing themselves, through music and through dance. The ghettto’s way of creating something from nothing. Giving voice to a culture and people, who had no voice. Now the world hears us!

One Cypher: What current projects are Mop Tops working on? When can we see you all wreck shop in California?
Buddha Stretch: My crew and I are currently working on performances coming up in London, Paris, China, & possibly Brazil. We’re also in the development of putting out our own series of videos. Hopefully we’ll get to perform in Cali soon.

One Cypher: There must be a million bootlegs of the Alive TV documentary floating around everywhere. Any chance that it we will see it in the near future as a buyable dvd or tape?
Buddha Stretch: I’ll be including the “WRECKIN SHOP” documentary, on my upcoming video, as well as an earlier documentary, called “HOUSE OF TRE’”

One Cypher: What is a normal day for Buddha Stretch like?
Buddha Stretch: My normal days consist of teaching, practicing, and being the best father I can be to my two daughters.

One Cypher: Where can people take your classes, or find out more information, website, etc?
Buddha Stretch: My classes and schedule can be found on STEPSNYC.com.

One Cypher: So that’s it folks. Thank you so much for doing this interview with us. Peace!
Buddha Stretch: Peace!

House music originally came from Chicago, and the term “House” was born after being named after a club called The Warehouse. It is also an umbrella term that represents all the different dances that are incorporated with house music and club dancing. The groove in house is generally referred to as the “Jack”. It was the groove that came from the warehouse parties in Chicago. It wasn’t necessarily a style or a move. Once House hit the New York area, it collided with Hip-Hop and formed house dance foundation as we see it today.

Various African Dances as well as Samba/Salsa steps were also incorporated into house and evolved into moves called Stomps, Farmers, Swirls, etc. Much of the footwork we see today also derive from some tap and hip-hop, but with a different feel when they were brought into house. Lofting is also a dance style done to house at the time, involving more graceful movements, spins, and ground work.

Some notable names in House Dance include Caleaf, Ejoe, Marjory, Shannon “Which Way” Mabra, Tony McGregor, Voodoo Ray, Sekou, Brooklyn Terry, Brian Green, to name a few.

housedancer.com is a great site that is documenting house dance culture. You can find lots of info and video clips on there.

mindbodyflo.com, run by Co-Flo of Flo-ology dance collective in SF. Great site that features the Bay Area House Culture as well as house podcasts.

There is also a documentary called House of Trey that talks about the NY house scene and features many of the og dancers:
