I've been honored to be a part of the Movement Project's latest project: "Dapper Sex Linguistics." The artistic direction, entire concept and vision was brought together through the connections of the last 10 years of inspiration of Philip Cariaso Jr.
Definitely a project for the memory books. It's good to see that there is a mutual respect for a lot of the old timers in the dance community like myself.
Cheers to my Oxnard and Long Beach roots who were able to help make this video a success!
Some of the many crews that reppped: OG Non-Stop, Non-Stop 2.0, PAC Modern, Culture Shock LA, KABA Moder, TM, Sick-Step, Barkada Modern, CADC, Poreotics, Chill-Factor, All-That Crew, and many more.
Enjoy the clip and make sure the check out the previous installments of the Movement Project on Philip's Youtube Channel.
Here is a short description of the video quoted from Enerjon:
"This is Dapper Sex Linguistics, a concept piece that my good friend Philip Cariaso Jr. put together for his group, The Movement Project. A true visionary and artistic mastermind that brought together a "Who's Who" of past and present male choreographers and dancers over the last 20 years into one special project. You can call it a reunion / bridging the gap of sorts...from people I used to compete and battle against in college (yes, I use to dance and choreograph lol a 'la my lovely fam, Pac Modern) to some who I've had the honor with performing with over years...AND especially those who I have had the pleasure to watch grow over the years in their own success while on the sidelines and "behind the scenes." This was a true honor to share this little moment with this ensemble that came from San Diego, the Bay Area, and even as far as London just to be a part of this project. From television shows, movies, music videos....Philip was able to bring together some of the dance talent behind Bruno Mars, Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas, and Chris Brown videos (to name a few) to even household names from America's Got Talent and America's Best Dance Crew....all under one roof."

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!

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!!!
Dwele - Raw MJ Tribute (peep his t-shirt at the end...)
