what would you teach them FIRST … and why?

FM Skool: November 14th Group Call I'm a bit late on this one but ..... This call wasn’t about footwork or techniques. It was about why we move — and who we become through it. A few things stood out: ⚡ BREAKIN' IS PHILOSOPHICAL, NOT JUST PHYSICAL. The dance becomes a mirror. It shows your frustration, discipline, ego, and maturity. But it can’t fix what you refuse to face. ⚡ IDENTITY CAN'T STAY ATTACHED TO THE DANCE. Injuries, age, and life force us to confront this. Many of us hid behind our B-boy/B-girl persona. But when that fades, the real question shows up:Who are you without the movement? ⚡THE COMMUNITY NEEDS MATURITY. Too many dancers are “in the dark”—reactive, insecure, and copying what they see without real guidance. Our job as elders is to bring them “into the know.” ⚡WARRIOR ENERGY NEEDS REFINEMENT. Aggression isn’t depth. Ego isn’t confidence. A true warrior is fierce and gentle. That’s the example the next generation needs. ⚡ THIS IS WHY FM EXISTS. Not just for drills or better movement. But for conversations like this—about identity, growth, purpose, and evolution. There was a LONGER take on this but you can perhaps check out the 2hour call 😅 Call → fm - Breakin' Is Philosophical (you can also find in 'group calls' in classroom)

This week’s challenge might hit a little different. It’s about REFLECTION & CONNECTION — not just through movement, but through the MOMENTS and PEOPLE that move us in LIFE. 🎯 The Task: Create a short movement piece or freestyle inspired by someone or something that has shaped or inspired you. It could be → - A quote that always stuck with you - The voice of a loved one - A line of scripture that moves your spirit 🎧 Move to the audio. Feel it. Reflect through it. Before you begin, take a brief moment of stillness . . . breathe, remember, and let that memory guide your first move. Deadline: Friday, November 21st (but no pressure, really 🙏🏼). 📝 When you post, include a short note or caption explaining what inspired your piece. Next week, we’ll all share our reflections publicly on our social pages, together. I will create one myself. If you feel comfortable posting publicly, tag @foundationalmethodz and use #fmz #foundationalmethodz #reflection Let’s turn REFLECTION into MOTION . . . MOVEMENT into MEANING.

A super basic movement — Front Sweep (Kickout) Nothing fancy yet, just a clean control drill. I’ll be adding more and stacking movement to it soon, but for now, focus on what happens after the kick-out → the control, the lift, the transition. Check it out, break it down, and see what variation you can come up with. 👉🏼 Post your take in the thread — let’s build on it. https://www.skool.com/fmz-9760/classroom/886d5dcc?md=e463615ac5b04fce9b96605ec2fc55d1

Sometimes they just want to feel fresh → to connect one move to the next → Smooth, Clean & Effortless. And flow doesn’t always mean "good." You can connect moves without having flow. And you can have flow… without true connection. So the question is . . . What are you actually searching for when you move? 🤔 You can also Define what is 'Flow' to you...
