This video is from our beginner Hip Hop Class. It’s a mixture of Hip Hop, African, and Salsa to fit the flow of the track. You all have made it our MOST popular video and we thank you so much for the support!

NOTE: Since it’s come up in comments, let us state for the record that the first 16 counts were choreographed to be done in canon with the second group starting one count later than the first … they’re not off beat

FR3SH Dance Class – June 21, 2009
Take class with us EVERY SUNDAY!

3:30PM – 4:00PM: REGISTRATION
4:00PM – 5:00PM: CLASS

LOCATION:
ARTS IN MOTION – The Home of the FR3SH Dance Troupe, LLC
25 Morristown Road
Matawan, NJ

ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHERS:
Amanda Suk (FR3SH, Dancer | E.P.I.C. Motion, Co-Artistic Director) + Shoey Sun (E.P.I.C. Motion, Co-Artistic Director)
Growing up in St. Louis as a tomboy playing soccer, Amanda Suk decided to tap into her feminine side at 10 years old by studying ballet, jazz, and modern at a local dance studio. She began training with friends in hip hop and contemporary while learning about the NY underground dance scene, mostly breaking, at jams when moving to the city in 2005. Amanda is now the co-artistic director for E.P.I.C Motion (formerly known as IFA Dance Team), a dance family she has been a part of for all her 4 years at NYU. During those 4 years at NYU she has also choreographed and performed for various groups and events on and off campus in the NY/NJ area. Upon graduating with a music business degree from NYU, Amanda recently joined Fr3sh Dance Company [Season 7.75] in addition to continuing to direct E.P.I.C. Motion. Some of her biggest dance inspirations are Rino Nakasone and Mariel Martin who constantly challenge her to be pushing past the typical ideas of hip hop choreography. She is easily won over when it comes to free food. Meow (special shout out to SBS)!
Shoey Sun took her first dance class when she was nine and has been dancing on and off since then. It wasn’t until her freshman year at NYU that she started to take dance, playing around with various styles, more seriously. As co-artistic of E.P.I.C. Motion, she became more aware of the dance scene and how much there is to learn. Other than performing at various events in New York and New Jersey, she has also performed in Beijing and Shanghai with J&L Dance Company. Currently Shoey is experimenting with blending hip hop and contemporary dance styles together. She is most inspired by Mariel Martin, Keone Madrid, Matt Cady, Llyrio Botang and the people she dances with every day.
Amanda and Shoey have been training together for roughly two years and continue to help each other improve as dancers and choreographers. They hope to not only share their choreography with as many people as possibly but to simply spread the love and joy that dance is able to give.

YouTube got hassled by Timbaland and his corporate homeboys and made us take the “Way I Are” song off of this video. Now you can see the kids dancing to some free tune YouTube let us use. Can anybody say “That’s WACK!!!” Yeah, it IS wack. But currently Timbo has bigger lawyers so we gotta do what we gotta do.

In the meantime, let us just say that if any of y’all want to use the choreography from any of the videos we’ve posted so far, feel free to bust it out and let your people know you found it at FUNKMODE. We all about makin paper, but we don’t get greedy with our sh*t!

Remember, this can happen to ANY of you too. Vote with your dollars and support the artists that don’t try to screw the people who love their music the most. Find artists that actually want you to enjoy their tracks.

Peace – FUNKMODE
