In hip hop, being "in the pocket" is everything. It’s that magical moment where dancers and music lock in perfectly—rhythm, groove, and soul all flowing as one. You're not just dancing to the beat, you are the beat. That’s the pocket. That’s where we live.
InthePocketBNE is one of the dopest events out there, and it’s all thanks to the incredible Anita Perng! She’s crafted an experience that brings together high-level workshops and epic Popping and Animation battles—this is where the community shines!
This year marks the second edition of the battles, and dancers from all levels—beginners to pros—will be stepping up. I’m hyped to be dancing in both the Beginners Popping and Animation categories. That’s right—double the energy, double the passion! 100% EXCITED!!
The workshops? Straight fire. Six sessions over two days—Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25—featuring an elite lineup of dancers from Australia, Japan, and Korea. For me, it’s a next-level chance to build my foundation, sharpen my groove, elevate my popping, and explore animation and weaving like never before.
Massive respect and gratitude to Anita for making this happen. Let’s go! Let’s stay in the pocket and dance our truth.
Peace, love & hip hop,
