Footage for "The Alliance." Summer progress, June - July 2013

Kyo and I battled against The Bronx Boys (TBB) Rocking Crew at Break IC. We're Crazy Bad Kids! Long road trip but nice bonding time. I remember meeting Slex from TBB crew at that one SVA practice I went to.

They're clean, sharp, have good flow and good execution.

When the jam's over, it always serves as a reminder that the school year's coming to a close.

The Breakdown was a success this year. A lot of the crews that signed up online weren't around but we had a bigger audience turn-out and everyone had a really good time.

Once again I found myself in a battle spot. I didn't plan to but it happened. I wasn't up to battle alongside people I didn't know. I don't have any problems with others but battling alongside my friends makes it more memorable and meaningful. We battled as "Flying Zebra." I felt comfortable but maybe because the Flag Room is our home. Battles were good and the cyphers were fun. Because the Flag Room is so small, it had a very intimate atmosphere that night. I enjoyed it a lot. It felt just right.

After it all ended and we've cleaned up, we went out to eat and had an after-party later that night. It was nice to let loose, relax, laugh and have a good time even when things got out of hand at a certain point. Stress was gone and this week was a pretty chill one. Yet, I still feel restless. After the workshops, I was inspired to improve. I appreciate the compliments and respect I get for the way I dance but I don't derserve them just yet. There's still much more out there for me to learn. And there's a lot that I need to think about and prepare for next year because this year is going to be over soon. Being president will be challenging, but it'll also be very rewarding if I can put all my hard work into the club and see something grow out of it. The seeds are planted and the soil is there so I'm going to watch over it and make sure it grows into a long-living tree.
