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 can't 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 isn't only basic dance moves. It's also an approach to the dance.
