FRESH Movement: Mos Wanted Crew

It sure has been awhile since I posted something, but I thought that this was worth a blast. This crew represents the past, present, and future of the dance crew community in the West. Some of today's FRESHest choreographers and freestlyers collaborating to bring some definite "GRIMEY" flava to the scene.

ABDC didn't want them this upcoming season...but looks like they are gonna miss out!

Peep the fresh linkage and support my friends at the World of Dance Tour and the debut performance of the MosWantedCrew.

FRESH Movement: Future Funk & Emanon

In the past few months, Oxnard has been making some noise in the youth dance circuit. Major props go out to Byron Bucao for putting it down for the kids and reaching out to his peers in the industry to help show that dance is a positive outlet for success.

With the help from SoRealCru, Emanon, has produced a well edited clip of some of their latest sets.



A member of Emanon, Miles "Baby Boogaloo" Brown, hit the big screen with his buddy Bailey "Bailrok" Munoz as the dynamic duo of Future Funk on America's Got Talent.

FRESH Tribute: The Legendary King of Pop: Michael Jackson

MJ has definitely touched many people in this world. His musicality, powerful stage presence, and just his raw talent over the past 50 years has influenced the best in the game. These past few days I've been reading testimonial after testimonial of how big of an impact MJ had their lives. He straight up set the standard for what he did and pushed folks to reach higher and only get better at their craft. Forget all that negative media about him that drives ratings up, lets just remember him for his pure greatness. I can go on and on about MJ's FRESHNESS...but I'm going to post some of the best things I've seen pop up on the web about the King...

Enjoy the FRESH linkage!!!

Entourage Sneek Peak to Fresh New Series

Wanna know what our commander in chief watches when he's not solving the world's biggest problems? That's right, Entourage. Here's a sneek peak of HBO's Entourage starting July 12.



Here's the season 5 Last episode recap
...After another late night drowning their sorrows, the guys gather in Vince's mom's kitchen in Queens as she demands to know why her son can't play the lead in Gus Van Sant's latest feature: Page Six says that Joaquin Phoenix dropped out. But when E calls Ari, he informs him Gus isn't a fan; the director even refuses to have Vince audition. Undeterred, Eric goes to Gus's office to try and get Vince a shot. Meanwhile, Vince's mom surprises him with a welcome home party and he and the guys catch up with friends and family. Drama continues to give Turtle a hard time about the mysterious calls he's getting, but Turtle refuses to say anything until Drama grabs the phone away and Jamie-Lynn comes clean. After waiting all day, E finally catches Gus and convinces him to watch Vince's footage from 'Smokejumpers.' Ari balks, but manages to get the footage to Gus, who calls E and Vince, impressed, but not enough to cast him. At the end of his rope, Vince fires E, blaming him for his career failures. Furious, Eric heads back to LA. When Vince gets a surprise offer from Martin Scorsese to star in his next film, Ari points out that it's actually due to E - since it was Gus who slipped Marty the 'Smokejumpers' takes. Back in Hollywood, E won't take Vince's calls so he returns to mend their friendship in person; with a group hug in Eric's office, the boys are back in business.
