because he looks at your body it looks at what you have like the shortness of certain things and you know, and he helps you sort of lengthen that part, you work on that part, makes you think about that part when you're moving, you know, and that really helped a lot.
22:53
I don't think because, you know, in a school, there's so many people that have so many different needs.
22:59
It's hard to cater.
23:00
for everyone and if you've got a company of six or seven then you can like give specific information information for specific people yeah and it got to a point where we were doing a roll-down project and there were so many books russell had he was like yeah guys you can read that book i said to him bruv I ain't going to read.

Did it, did it, when did it actually kind of dawn on you that this is actually what I want to do as a career? And then how did you, how did you take it on from there?
20:51
So, yeah, so doing popping, and we're talking about 2005, 6, 7, around that time, yeah, that three years was like, okay, learn about a dance, learn the history and the music.
21:06
Because I was thinking, hang on, mate, we're not dancing to like... pop music, we're dancing to funk music, like, we're talking about G-Funk, P-Funk, Roger Trotman, Earth, Wind & Fire, you know, I'm like, I don't know these artists, bro, I know Nas, I know Jay-Z, you know, the R&B guys, I know Jodeci, this is the, you know, but we're talking about funk music, this is like before, even my dad doesn't play that, my dad plays African, you know, Afro beats from back then, I'm thinking, this is like, what is this? So basically those three years for me to understand the dance, understand the pioneers, understand what the dance falls in, because it's a funk style.
21:48
So funk styles, dances that comes from the funk era.
21:54
We're talking about popping.
21:55
