attended a jam in fullerton last saturday hosted by a san diego based rocking crew ... TIME TO ROCK
here's a link to their event on facebook: FUNK THE WORLD

[flyer and some screenshots from the event page]


it was, in my opinion, a moderately successful cypher jam.
there was a mixture of west coast and east coast dancers, as well as bboy, lockers, all-style dancers, and rockers. the atmosphere was very open, noncompetitive, and friendly.

for those who don't know, rocking is a form of dance that originated in brooklyn in parallel with breaking in the bronx. the two dances are different, yet share many similar qualities ... it too is an important original form of true hip hop dance. although it is important to realize that the two each have their own history and are from different schools of dance, the two share the same scene, music, and broader historical timeline. even today, the two are fairly close.
