Making more of an effort this year to support more of my local scene. Had an amazing time getting down last night at Shamrock, a 2v2 in Raleigh, NC. Was dope to see familiar faces and touch the floor. Also, so amazing to see our student there entering with a local dancer in our city with the support of his family, crew and community behind him all in one space. That truly was the highlight of the night for me. Lets keep that next generation building. 

Check out our Class Facebook Page for the full video, pictured above.

Wow so this is what [some] men think is ok?

The volcanoes are based on the Hawaiian musician Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (better known as Iz) and his wife Marlene. They were made specifically to resemble the couple.

He’s not just “that dude with the cover of Over The Rainbow” okay? He’s fucking important. He was a musician, yes, and he was an activist for Hawaiian rights and independence.

He used his music to promote awareness of the second class status of Hawaiian natives created by the tourist industry.

When he died, the Hawaiian state flag flew at half mast. His coffin (but not his body, he was cremated) lay in state at the state capitol building in Honolulu. Just the third person in Hawaiian history to be given that honor. And the only one who was not a government official. Ten thousand people attended his funeral.

He is a big important part of Hawaiian culture and history.
