#stylehead

Ahhh….

The timeless question that has plagued bboys and bgirls throughout the generations.

If a stylehead battles a powerhead, who will win?

The stylehead claims that he will win because he focuses on foundation and the art of the dance.

The powerhead claims that he will win because he focuses on technicality and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

But if you want my honest opinion?

It depends.

It depends on what either of them does. It depends on their mood on the day. It depends on how well they execute their stuff. It depends on whether they are intimidated by each other.  

It depends on many many factors.

It’s not so clear cut as to whether a stylehead will definitely win a powerhead.

The other answer is…

This is a bull question.

There’s no such thing as a stylehead or a powerhead.

Yes, there are people who focus on footwork. Yes, there are people who focus on powermoves.

But they aren’t powerheads or styleheads.

They are just people who have decided to specialize in ONE area.

(A concept I fully fully endorse.)

And the thing is…

You can do footwork with power.

And you can do powermoves with style.

So…

They are not mutually exclusive.

And we should stop dividing them that way.

There is no one right way to dance.

There is no “standard” breaking (if not why do we call this art?)

There is no “you must do this if not it’s not breaking”.

So stop excluding people from the dance just because they didn’t conform to what your opinions are.

We are all free to express the dance in our own way.

And are you.

So keep on doing what you’re doing.

And keep on focusing and specializing if that is your thing.

And keep on rocking.
