Foundation

Foundation is the basic structure of this dance.

Without understanding the basics, basic movements, basic steps, rhythm concepts, musicality. You cant create or develop a style.

"Without Foundation, You cant create style"-Teknyc (SKMZ)

Without structure how will you be able to move on up to the next level?

It's like building a house, a house needs to have a structure or else it will crumble.

Foundation isnt only basic dance moves. It's also an approach to the dance.
