TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
In order to fully appreciate the artistry and skill of I.aM.mE. this Study Guide takes a look back at the History,
Origins and Pioneers of the very Dance Styles they perform (and the styles preceding them) in combination with
their self titled signature "Brain Bangin".
I.aM.Me............................3
Locking.............................4
Popping............................4
The Dance Styles included in this study guide have long been regarded as styles with no structure, technique or
vocabulary. So while Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Tap and Contemporary dance are regarded as high forms of performance
art, styles under the umbrella term "street dance" have and are still often looked down upon. This study guide
closely examines the dance styles of Locking, Popping, Waacking, Breaking, Hip Hop, House and Krump.
What makes this study guide unique and one-of-kind are the summaries provided below, which have been provided
by the very pioneers who created and developed these styles and in some cases the second generation of
trailblazing students on behalf of the creators. Included you will find a brief break down of the history, origins,
techniques and vocabulary related to each style as told by them.
Furthermore this Guide Includes suggested Activities that tie in curriculum based learning for students with
resources and references for further study.
It is our hope through this study guide to educate and grow audience appreciation and respect for not only I.aM.
mE but all dancers and dance crews past and present who train, perform and teach these Styles. It takes years to
become proficient in each style.
Whether you call them Hip Hop, Street Dance, Funk Styles or Urban Dance there is no Denying the wonder, aweinspiring power and joy that these styles bring to Audiences. Though there may not be a formal worldwide
distributed curriculum and exam based program (yet) for all these styles like there is for Ballet, Jazz, Tap etc. we
hope you will join us in passing on the history and knowledge, to your fellow teachers, family, friends and to your
students.

I.aM.mE Dance Crew
Inspire. Motivate. Energize
A Crew dedicated to Inspiring, Motivating and Energising
every individual to be themselves and find what makes
them who they are. This dance crew utilizes the self-titled
style, “Brain Bangin” to leave audiences in amazement
and often confused to what exactly they just witnessed.
The style is a series of connections and large scale
visuals that create shapes and puzzles with the human
body which brings swag that is unique to their southern
origin Houston, Texas. The dance crew is a mosaic of
races, cultures and sexes which serves as a message to
the world that awaits a society that puts asides differences
and can come together. After winning MTV’s America’s
Best Dance Crew, Season 6, the crew moved to LA to
pursue their dreams to continue their style of dance. Four
of the original crew members are still dancing with
I.aM.Me Crew consisting of Phillip “PacMan” Chbeeb,
Brandon “747” Harrell, Emilio “Millie” Dosal and Jana
“Jaja” Vankova. All have continued to excel within their
style of dance through SYTYCD, with “Jaja” winning Team
Street on Season 12 in 2015. All have excelled in
professional music videos, movies and a multitude of
Dance projects through their unique choreography and
dance stylings. Tamara Rapp and Scarlett Nabil will
round out I.aM.mE crew with their success on
MTV’s ABDC Season 7 and there continued work
within this Dance Community. A “surprise” trick
dancer will also tour with I.aM.Me in the Fall of
2016!

LOCKING
Locking is considered the first Street Dance Style. It was created in 1970 by Don Campbell at LA Trade Technical College. After creating Locking by
mistake while trying to do the Robot Shuffle, Don "Campbellock" Campbell became a dance maverick, who blazed a distinct trail throughout the clubs
of Los Angeles. His dance became so popular, in Feb of 1972, he released the single "The Campbellock" on Stanton Records. That year, Don also
went on to appear The TV show "Soul Train", where he became a regular dancer and a fan favourite. In 1973, Don was kicked off Soul Train for
standing for the right for dancers on the show to get paid for their time and effort. So together with the Legendary Choreographer Toni Basil, Don
founded the dance group first called "The Campbellock Dancers" later called "The Lockers" that would change the face of dance forever. Don,
Toni and The Lockers, which included Greg "Campbellock Jr" Pope, Leo "Fluky Luke" Williamson, Fred "Mr. Penguin" Berry, Adolfo "ShabbaDoo" Quinones, and Bill "Slim the Robot" Williams took the Entertainment industry by storm, with Live Performances, as Awards Show Presenters,
Commercial Endorsements, Movies, Guest Appearances on Television, and even their own TV special. In simple terms, Locking is a freestyle dance,
where you are free to move to the music, returning to "The Lock" as the base. Besides The Lock, Don did a variety of movements when he was
creating the dance that are now synonymous with "Locking" Today such as, "The Wrist Roll", "The Points", Knee Drops, "Up Lock", "Down
Lock", "Giving Yourself 5", "Giving The Floor 5", Dives, and Splits, Additional movements were later contributed by Members of The Lockers or
Dancers associated with The Lockers. They took moves that already existed and "Lockafied" them. These movements include Leo walks (created to
Leo "Fluky Luke" Williamson and used in his solos), scoo b doo, scoo bot, stop n' go, scooby walk (all 4 dances credited to Jimmie "Scooby Doo"
Foster but brought to the group by Greg "Campbellock Jr." Pope for the unison parts of the shows), The Skeeter Rabbit (Credited to Tony "Go Go"
Lewis but brought to the group by Greg "Campbellock Jr." Pope for the unison parts of the shows) and which-a-ways (Credited to Leo " Fluky Luke"
Williamson, used in both solos and unison parts). Locking is dance that requires a balance of precision with groove, soul and funk. Locking has
most notably appeared in Music Videos from Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Wyclef, Jean, and more. And if you watch closely,
Locking has appeared in dance movies such as 80's classic "Breakin' 1&2" to "You Got Served" and the "STEP UP" series.

POPPING
Popping began in the 1970's. The techniques were created by a man named Boogaloo Sam out of Fresno California. In order to "POP"
dancers must flex and release the muscles in their arms, neck/head and snap back their knee joints rhythmically to music. Popping
techniques include fresnos, walk outs and twist-o-flexes and styles such as Toy Man, Puppet and Scarecrow. Boogaloo Sam also
created Boogaloo, a fluid style that utilizes every part of the body using angles and often using rolls of the hips, knees and head.
Boogaloo Sam Founded the dance crew the Electric Boogaloo's who travelled and performed all over the world teaching Popping and
Boogaloo. Members including Popin Pete, Suga Pop, Mr. Wiggles, Skeeter Rabbit have performed and choreographed for Soul Train,
The Grammy's, Billboard Music Awards, Breakdance the Movie and Music Videos including Michael Jackon's Beat It and Thriller. They
have also performed alongside and choreographed for Janet Jackson, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani just to name a
few. It is Important to remember Popping is a single style and is not an umbrella term for Boogaloo, Waving, Tutting (created by Mark
Benson), Gliding and Animation. However those styles can be added in when Popping.

WAACKING
Waacking started in the 1970's in Los Angeles in the Gay Club Scene. It is derived from Punking and the first dance group was known as
the Original Punkers. As Punking spread to the larger dance community and dancers from other dance styles (such as Locker Shaba
Doo) began to take part, it took on the name 'whacking' and eventually became known as Waacking. Waacking is stylistically influenced
by the highly animated characters of Hollywood silent films and musicals as well as cartoons and martial art films. Dramatic poses,
characters and storytelling are combined with, footwork and quick, sharp, strong and fluid arm motions, often in circular patters around
the upper torso, shoulders and head. Punkers and Waackers were both featured on Soul Train and waacking spread from Los Angles to
New York and around the world by way of pioneers such as Tyrone Proctor. After the popularity of the dance began to fade during the
80's and 90's it experienced a resurgence in the early 2000's by way of Brian "footwork" Green who began teaching in New York and
urging the elders to teach. This has led to next generation of Waackers, of all genders and orientations, who continue to be practitioners,
trainers and share the dance world wide. Aside from being included in Music Videos and Dance Films, Waacking also debut on Season 8
of So You Think You Can Dance.
BREAKING
- Kumari Suraj The Waackers (International), Jungle Jills (LA),
House of Suraj (India), CEO & founder of Waackfest
Breaking is a dance that was born in the early 1970s in the Bronx, New York. Coined as Break Dancing by the media, the correct term is
actually Breaking or B-boying/B-girling. Many people focus on the acrobatics and power moves of Breaking but it is important to
remember that Breaking is first and foremost a dance. Intricate and fancy dance techniques called Top-rocks combined with the rocking of
the upper torso forwards and backwards or side to side are an essential component of the dance. Different Top-Rock techniques include
Indian step, Salsa steps, Rocking/Up-Rock, Charlie Rocks, side shuffles, etc. Additional components of Breaking include steps and moves
that are done down on the floor known as: Footwork or Down-Rocking. They include the 6-step, 3-step and CCs to name a few. Another
vital component of the dance are freezes. Freezes are a form of physical punctuation where one pauses after a series of movements. The
two foundational freezes are known as the baby freeze and chair freeze. Power moves are also part of the dance. These moves are
typically acrobatic & explosive. Some of the moves are windmills, head spins, halos, air-tracks, air-moves, air-flairs, 1990s, 2001s, etc.
Each dancers performs a combination of top-rocks, floor work, freezes and power moves while adding their own individual style and
creativity to the technique. Breaking is most often done in cyphers and battles. Many breakers and breaking crews contributed to the
creation and development of the dance. Pioneering crews include the original Zulu Kings, The Bronx Boys, Crazy Commandos,
Starchild La Rock and Rock Steady Crew (RSC). The Rock Steady Crew appeared in the movies: Wild Style, Flashdance and Beat
Street. Theater: So What Happens Now, Jam on the Groove and Ghetto Made. Documentaries: Style Wars, The Freshest Kids and
individually we appeared in many others. Music videos include: Buffalo Gals, Tony Touch's -Greatest DJ, Gang Star's -Skills and many
others and released a song called "Hey You the Rock Steady Crew." RSC which was established by Bboys Jimmy D and Jimmy Lee
and is now led by Rich "Crazy Legs" Colon (President) and Anthony "Ynot" DeNaro (Vice President), is still active today celebrating 39
years of existence and still going strong.

HIP HOP DANCE
Hip Hop Dance is the physical expression of the movement of Hip Hop Culture! It is organized Urban Social Dance, born of the block
party and NYC nightlife, taken to stage and screen. Hip Hop Dance includes RHYTHM, technique & VOCABULARY from the URBAN
VERNACULAR, from the SIXSTEP, FREEZE to the cabbage patch and the running man to the whip and Nae Nae to the latest
iteration dubbed Litefeet. Hip Hop Dance was pioneered by two crews, in two of the most legendary NYC nightclubs, Union Square
and The Latin Quarter starting in the mid 80's. The first Crew was dubbed the "JAC "dancers and included Peter Paul, Tron, Danilo,
and Buddha Stretch. The second crew was called the "IOU" Dancers with Scoob Lover, Laze laze, Mike Swift, Reggie Reg and others.
This in turn lead to the inspiration of crews like Elite Force, The Soul Brothers, Knuckleneck Tribe, MISSFITSS, Electric Trouble and
Serial Steppers to name a few. Mop Top and Elite Force (which formed on the set of Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time" Music
Video) still remain active today teaching and judging worldwide. Elite Force includes Henry Link, Brooklyn Terry, Loose Joint, Ejoe
12, Bobby Mileage and Hip Hop's 1st Choreographer Buddha Stretch. Together their impressive resume includes, Michael Jackson,
MC Hammer, Doug E. Fresh, P Diddy, Mariah Carey, Will Smith, TLC and many more.

HOUSE
House Dance was created by a Collective of Dancers in the late 80's in New York City. Driven by a spiritual, uplifting positive
energy the dance is an amalgamation of hiphop, jazz, tap, salsa, salsa,mambo and a vast collection of African American
and Carribbean social dances all blended over time. Main components include footwork, lofting and jacking. House
Footwork regularly transitions from smooth slides, to hops, to intrecute jagged foot work patterns utilizing the heel and toe.
Lofting combines smooth dives or spins to the floor with additional floor work. Jacking, introduced to House Dance by dancers
Tony McGregor, Sekou and Whichway Sha, is a rocking of the upper and lower torso Forwards and backwards while bending
the knees. Jacking can be done simultaneously while performing footwork. As House is primarily lowerbody and footwork
based, it is important to remember that the entire body, including hips, head and shoulders should be moving at all times.
Dance Fusion Crew is credited with the expansion and development of the hip hop and house culture throughout the world.
Members include Caleaf Sellers, Marjory Smarth, Tony Sekou Williams, Shannon Mabra, Shannon Selby, Tony
McGregor, Norico Asai & Hiroyuki Suzuki. With roots spanning back to the early days of hip hop, members can be seen in
video's from artist like Diana Ross, jazzy jeff & the Fresh Prince, Jay Z, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, LLCool J, Doug E. Fresh,
Heather B, Ce Ce Peniston, Gwen Guthrie, Bonjour, Aretha Franklin, Pet Shop Boys, Mariah Carey, Faith Evans, Crystal
Waters, Two In A Room, Doug Lazy, Criss Cross, Fall Out Boy, the amazing Michael Jackson and more.

Krump Dance was created by Ceasare "Tight Eyez" Willis and Jo'Artis "Big Mijo" Ratti in South Central, Los Angeles during the
early 2000's. It is characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated and highly energetic movement. The Main Techniques of Krump are
jabs, arm swings, stomps and chest pop. Since its creation Krump has spread worldwide and is regularly featured in music videos

YOUTUBE
Is a great resource for Visuals of the Creators, Pioneers performing or competing their style. We
strongly recommend you type in the name of the dancer, battle and/or dance crew versus the dance
style, as that will result in a lot of irrelevant content. If there are any "tutorials" that you come across
online or you are going to try and learn from watching YouTube make sure the tutorials are by the
dancers that are listed in the summaries / IaMmE/JHHA and it is their videos you are studying as
there are unfortunately many incorrect tutorials.
DANCE FILM/DOCUMENTARIES
There are several Movies that prominently feature or center around the dance styles in this study
Guide. Each of these movies have different Ratings so we strongly recommend that Teachers watch
the movie first to determine appropriateness for their class.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITY
Dance Composition - Choreography
This is a great group work activity but can also be done individually or in duets or trios. You can invite a guest instructor in to teach your class a routine and let
the students apply dance composition elements from there or let students create their own routines from scratch. Be sure to listen too or look up the lyrics to
any songs you use before you use them. A lot of Hip Hop Songs today have a catchy beat but are not appropriate to be used inside of schools. Music from the
80's such as Sugar Hill Gang's Rapper's Delight do not or are far less likely to have any inn appropriate content or cursing in the music. You can also try to find
the 'clean' version of a song. If you're really stuck there are songs such as "Bet You Can't Do It Like Me Challenge" that contain verbal instructions within the
song to tell dancers what moves to do. Guidelines to creation can then be given and Dancers can be assessed based on the use of the following elements.
Counting: In Dance we begin by saying "5,6,7,8" as a cue to the rest of the group to start. We then continue counting in multiples of 8. Dancers
can choose to repeat a move or combination of moves for 1 count of 8 (eight counts), 2 counts of 8 (16 counts), 3 counts of 8 (24 counts) etc.
Teachers can also instruct students as to how many counts of 8 they want them to create or how many counts of 8 they would like them to
dedicate to a specific technique or style.
Formations: The positions dancers dance in during the Routine. They can dance in a horizontal line, multiple parallel lines, stand behind each
other in a vertical line, in shapes such as parallelograms, rhombus, square, pyramid or arrow, circle, triangle etc. Teachers can select the number
of formations they would like students to use in their routine as part of the assignment criteria.
Transitions: The Movement from one Formation to Another. Dancers can walk, slide, skip, hop, jump etc. or transition using the moves in the
choreography.
Levels: Moves can be performed in low level (floor), medium level (squat range), high (standing or on your toes). Dancers can incorporate
multiple levels in the routine and can perform the same move at different levels at the same time. Teachers can select the number of level
changes they would like students to use in their routine as part of the assignment criteria.
Directions: Dancers can face multiple directions while they dance, some moves can be done facing to the right, left, backwards, forwards or on an
angle. Dancers can change directions all together or at different times. Teachers can select the number of direction changes they would like
students to use in their routine as part of the assignment criteria.
Ending: It is very important that a Routine has a definitive ending. This can be achieved by a group pose at the end of the Routine done with
dancers in their final formation or close together in a clump.
Unison/Timing: Synchronicity is essential to a successful dance routine. Dancers must move the same way at the same time. Timing can be played
with by having half or a portion of the group delay their movement or use a technique called "cannon" where dancers perform the same move
one at a time consecutively. There are also many rhythms within music and dancers can choose which tempos to choreograph on and whether
they want to focus on the lyrics and/or beats in the song.
Variety: A Routine should incorporate a Variety of movement, technique and styles. Students can be assessed on how much variety they have
incorporated.
Execution: An essential part of dance performance is finishing your moves. An assessment of overall Execution takes into account what
percentage of the dance moves/choreography were completed. The goal is to aim for a 'clean' routine versus sloppy and unfinished.
Performance: Connecting with your audience is essential. Dancers need to look up at their audience, exude energy, stage presence and have
facial expressions that tell a story and change to match the music.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
Terms to Know
Dance & Phys Ed. - Through creating their own dance routines or studying live, online
or television dance performances students can analyze the anatomy and/or parts of
the skeletal system required to perform certain styles, moves and techniques.
Battle: Battles are competitions where in dancers or dance crews go
head to head to see who is stronger. It is different from a dance
competition because dancers and crews face each other on stage at
the same time and do not perform a routine one by one. Music is
usually not pre selected and dancers must freestyle or perform
commandos (pre-set choreography) to whatever Music the DJ Plays.
Each side gets a chance to dance to the same song and the judges
decide who wins by pointing to the side they feel did better. Winners
can be decided by a panel of judges or the audience (by way of noise).
Typically judges look at how well a dancer/crew executed their
technique, if they danced on beat to the Music and their creativity.
Some of the Biggest Battles in the World include Juste Debout, Keep
On Dancing (KOD), The Notorious IBE and R16 Korea.
Dance & Social Studies/ History - The era's that these dance styles were created in are
listed in their summaries. Students can conduct and present history and/or culture
research projects about the decade or part of the decades these styles were created in.
This gives students the opportunity at an in depth look at social and cultural realities of
1970's, 1980's, 1990's and the early 2000's that the creators and pioneers lived in. In
addition projects can be done on Hip Hop Culture, which in short, includes the several
artistic elements - Djing, Mcing (rapping), Graffiti and Beat Boxing to name a few. Many
Dancers, especially of Hip Hop/House/breaking also DJ, Emcee, draw and paint Graffiti.
Many fun projects, assignments and activities can be drafted from those elements.
Dance & Math - Geometry is frequently used in dance to create formations (positions
in which dancers stand when dancing). Choreographers are also constantly calculating
how many steps dancers need to take and how much time dancers have to make those
steps within the allotted time in the music to move from one position, point A, to the
next, point B. In Dance we count until 8 and refer to the amount of choreography
allotted to specific moves in counts of 8 (multiples of eight). e.x. We are going to do 2
counts of 8 (16 counts) of Locking, followed by 3 counts of 8 (24 counts) of Breaking
and hold our end pose for 1 count of 8 (8 counts), so in total that's 6 counts of 8 (48
counts). The above can be used to draft equations and fun math word problems
incorporating dance.
Cypher: A cypher is usually done with dancers standing in a semi
circle or circle. A cypher is a friendly exchange where dancers enter
the centre of the circle and get down, sharing their energy and moves
with their fellow dancers (it is not a battle). Dancers who are standing
waiting for their turn to dance, clap to the beat of the music and
cheer on whoever is dancing in the center. Aside from technique
classes and workshops this is how Lockers, Poppers, Bboys/Bgirls,
Waackers, House and Hip Hop Dancers train and develop their
freestyles.
Dance Performance Review - Armed with the knowledge of the different styles, their
technique and vocabulary and the elements of dance composition students will now be
able to Analyze, Asses, Describe, Discuss and write Reviews on Live Dance
Performances and Dance Films. These Activities can be done as in class group
discussions and/or individual written assignments. Students can write their very own
Dance Review on the I.aM.mE show!
Soul Train Line: Dancers line up in two parallel lines facing each other
creating a corridor. The two dancers at the top of the line step
forward and dance together - moving all the way through to the end
of the corridor and then re join the line. Dancers can do their own
thing or typically vibe of off each other emulating each other's
movement. This is how the first dance competitions on the TV Show
Soul Train were done, hence the name.
Dance Cypher/Dance Battle/Soul Train Line - These activities are great team building
and confidence building activities. They build and nurture creativity and are a chance
to build positive and supportive environments through dance. See 'Terms to Know' to
find out More.
Crew: A dance crew is like your second family. It is more than just a
group of people you dance with. Like a family you care for and look
out for one another, you are loyal, committed and you help each
9
other out inside and outside of dance life.
