Greetings and Salutations

[Vehmic]

My name is Drew and I have been lurking NF for a little while now and felt inspired to join up. I am in decent shape but want to push myself as I am a Popper and end up traveling quite a bit for dance competitions and want that extra edge. Popping is based around muscle contractions and the illusions those create so having more muscle mass enhances the illusion however a great deal of endurance is needed as well. The force of the contraction also plays into it so I suppose I want it all. I am 22 and work about 40 hours a week managing a small cafe in my town so I spend (or should be spending) a good deal of time practicing. Though after reading the Tao of Jeet Kun Do I have it firmly impressed on my mind that balancing physical conditions with my actual dance training is the ideal. I have been dancing for about 7 years and have a back round in ballet and ballroom dance. That is more or less me.

Welcome to the rebellion, Drew!

Hi, Drew! You got me looking up videos of Poppers... that is unreal. What a cool skill you're into! I'm sure pursuing fitness will help you along with your passion in dance. Welcome to the Rebellion!

Thank you both, I have settled on the path of monk-hood as I think martial arts is the closest to dancing (and who doesn't want to look like bruce lee?).
