...and when ideas turn into action. While checking and reviewing notes, scrutinizing the movements in the video, one can't help wonder if this is what it was like in the 70's and 80's when folks outside of New York had started to hear about hip hop and break dancing; as they reviewed snippets of videos trying to glean a way to move their bodies the same way. No rules. Only the willingness to try. Group Movement here we come.</div>
