you going to be taking this bevvers? that's a crazy good deal, that's like a one month yoga membership anywhere else.
I'm considering but I for sure work until 8 every tuesday so i might run the risk of showing late which sucks.

^^thats awesome, but it's still good to learn fundamentals with bboy/bgirl'ing. foundation is key, and invertabrat is a wicked teacher for that.

stick to capoeira.... u dont need breaking classes... well maybe the foundation.. capoeira does alot of stalls and acrobatic stuff that breaking does. im joining capoeira... damn, bev.. i would take this.. but i have prior commitments on tuesdays..

^^capoeira is similar to breakdancing but different.. in the end capoeira is a form of brazilian martial arts, where as breakdancing is strictly a form of dance. i know my pet peeve is seeing people who consider themselves a bboy/bgirl and not even be able to go through the 3-8 foundation steps.
capoeira is defiantely wicked to get inspired for style influence..especially training for battle breaks, you can develope some wicked style through capoeira. just understand breakdancing isnt all acrobats, flips, and stalls..that's a circus act.

bev, dont worry.. i understand what ur saying more then anyone on this site can... but you're right, breaking isn't all acrobats, flips and stalls... thats only part of it. but, i wouldn't go around saying that doing that is a circus act. anyways, i gotchu.. don't worry.
