Ok to
expand on the Canadian Thread style, it first originated from the party hip hop
dancers who would do simple threads like jumping over their foot while dancing
on Top. All the bboys in Toronto in the early 90's were ALL hip hop dancers. So
naturally, they brought the sme Threads to the floor. Bag of Trix members, had
a concept of doing things 3 times in a row, ending up with the last one being
the best version or transitioning into something cool. So they took the threads
to the floor, but would repeat the same thread three times in a row. Original
members of my crew also say they took threads to the floor but started from a
standing up style.
The
first person that breaked with the COMPLEXED threading style was Lego of
Supernaturalz. Its possible that Mr Wiggles did threads first too, but in the
concept of being really original with it, was Bag of Trix, and in the concept
of being really complexed, was Supernaturalz Crew.
Megas
was originally in Supernaturalz from since 94 before leaving to join Boogie
Brats. We both were inspired by the way that Lego was complexed in his style,
however, we were way more flexible than he was since we were 16 at the time,
and he was already 24 with kids and a full time job, so we were able to take
the threads to a higher level.
Origami,
actually isn't just about threading, it's a type of threading style. Its about
folding and bending ones body to make shapes.
So
threads, is about:
#1
being original,
#2
being complexed so that nobody can bite it
#3,
having a continuous flow.
When me
and Megas used to do them, there were certain rules we made up like
#1 Not
going in and out of the same hole.
#2 not
breaking the thread (each thread must flow right into the next)
#3 each
thread needs to flow into sometype of move, freeze, burn or gesture (to keep it
in the bboy context)
