How are y'all doing today? You are with Blitz the choreographer and we are here with expertvillage.com. We are going to go ahead and conduct all of that and go to the 70s. The 70s that is where break dancing came in. Like they had the disco thing going on, they had the bright colors, they had the whole afro popping out. They had the whole visor you know Cadillac with the 2 speakers in the back. That is when DJ Cool Hurricane came to New York City from Jamaica to layout the roots of turntable. Good hip hop music. So right when that happen you hear and you are oh man that is that beat right there. That is that beat right there. Oh man what do you got, flavor and just start busting your tops. You start busting your tops and everything looks pretty good. What do that after that? They are like I want to do something on the floor so what happens right there. So the Compute comes in and they start stepping back, stepping back, they start stepping back. And that is Blitz, I have all styles for you.
