Another year has passed in the rock dance scene in germany and through rocking classes and events, this battle dance of New York City has grown more and more. Read more on this in the following summary:
Berlin
In 2019, for the fist time, i have performed a rocking class in the capital Berlin at KMA. Participants of different skill level and age groupes take in part to learn how to response to each other in real time while mimicking physical attacks. This is a complicated process than it seems. All participants mastered the challenge well, while they had to face another challenge, that of physical fitness. I would like to thank KMA and BBoy Crok!
Dortmund
The rocking class within the program „A-Z of Dance – A dance project of Transnational Ensemble Labsa“ was awesome. The participants been rocking to complete songs and guess what; they could go through more songs. Unlike in breaking, rock songs do not only have break parts but also freestyle parts where rockers are expected to dance and challenge the other rocker until one becomes exhausted. By the way, the idea of the project „A-Z of Dance – A dance of project of Transnational Ensemble labsa“ is to find a dance style to each letter of the alphabet and regarding to the letter R, they end up on rocking 🙂 Thanks goes out to Sunz from Masterplan Crew for connecting and showing love to the rock dance.
Tübingen
Some impressions of the rocking class that took place within the event „Smoke the Cypher“ in Tübingen will you find here: https://bloqspot4rockers.de/2019/10/03/rocking-workshop-in-tuebingen/ . To be mention is, that the most participants been from italy, romania and austria. Some had zero rocking skill, some had advanced rocking skill. They all took the challange to interact to each other while burning and getting burned. Well done! Thanks goes out Michelè for setting up the class!
Braunschweig
Rockers Delight Vol 3 took place for the third time, and again we had international guests comin all the way from poland to rock with us.
Shout outs to Kostek and the gang from Rock’n’Raw!
One of the highlights in 2019 was the Anniversary of the Def Style Rockers (D.S.R) Crew from Braunschweig. In august 2019, they celebrate their 25th Anniversary where people from all over the world have been joined three days of pure Hip Hop Culture. Writing, breakin, rocking , moving, grooving! Within three days, we had a special edition of Rockers Delight Vol 3, the most valuable Bgirl/Bboy, a rocking class by the legendary Dj Samurai „Sam“ of the Incredible Breakers from NYC and last but not least writers/rockers/bboys rocking the walls. Check out the pictures to get an impression!
