Teacher Spotlight: Rukkus!

Check out an interview with Break Dance Instructor Rukkus!

Picture
How many years have you been dancing?
I’ve been dancing for about 19-20 years.

What is one achievement in dance that you are proud of or an experience that had a major impact on your specialties?
I’m proud of makin it to MTVs America’s Best Dance Crew. I've also appeared in the movie Step Up 3.

What is your philosophy in break dance?
I define hip hop by 2 main things; 1) the physical act of whichever form you are practicing and 2) the spiritual awakening achieved when fully immersed in said physical act. Physically/ mentally, when we learn a hip hop form (in my case and the case of my students- Breakin) we learn the motor skills and practice turning the technique into muscle memory in order to comfortably attack our own agenda within the form. And on a spiritual/ characteristic level this helps to build confidence, self expression and creativity. When these skills are developed we look good and feel good within our practice of the form. 

What are your goals for your students?
My main goal for my students is for them to perform movements with confidence and presence. 

What can a child learn from a dance education that will impact the rest of their lives?
Children can learn so much from dance. Expression is the idea that really comes to mind right now. Learning dance as a child allows them to discover their own sense of expression at a young age and communicate this expression in a constructive way through a challenging and complex physical language. 

Rukkus drops some dance advice in video below.

What an inspiring interview with Break Dance Instructor Rukkus! It's incredible to learn about his extensive 19-20 years of dancing experience, and the fact that he made it to MTV's America's Best Dance Crew and appeared in Step Up 3 is truly impressive.

Rukkus' philosophy on break dance beautifully captures the essence of hip hop – the physical and spiritual dimensions that intertwine in this expressive art form. The idea of building confidence, self-expression, and creativity through dance is not only powerful but also a testament to the transformative nature of this art.

His goals for his students, to perform movements with confidence and presence, reflect a commitment to nurturing not just their dance skills but also their self-assuredness.

I couldn't agree more with the impact of dance education on children's lives. It's not just about mastering dance moves; it's about learning to express themselves in a constructive and complex physical language. The lessons they acquire through dance are skills they can carry with them throughout their lives.

Rukkus' insights are truly valuable, and I'd love to hear more from him in the future. Keep dancing and inspiring, Rukkus! 💃🕺🎶 #BreakDance #DanceInspiration #KeepMoving

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Gold IRA reviews offer valuable insights for individuals considering a gold-backed retirement account. These reviews help potential investors assess the reliability, fees, customer service, and overall experience of various gold IRA companies. By reading these reviews, investors can compare providers, weigh the pros and cons, and make informed decisions about diversifying their retirement savings with precious metals. Gold IRAs are often seen as a hedge against inflation and market volatility, making reviews a crucial resource for those seeking to protect and grow their wealth in a secure and tax-advantaged manner.
