harder to …
(cont’d)
harder to breathe is pretty self-explanatory: “is there anyone out there cuz it’s getting harder and harder to breathe…” they’re letting out all their frustration because even though they show all these concepts and make you think outside your box, they’re just never understood no matter what they do. MAIN MESSAGE: “when will you open your minds and recognize what we do and have to offer and appreciate it?”

listen to the …
listen to the lyrics: “third world countries just can’t find water…” or something like that. she faints cuz she can’t survive without water. this first piece sets up the mood of the whole set. theCOMPANY’s trying to portray that they always offer the audience something different, something deeper than just choreo but they’re never recognized for it. all people care about are the flashy moments (i.e roll offs).

quick question, at …
quick question, at :55, why is she just laying there during the piece… ive watched this several times, and I still dont understand the point of her doing that. someone mind giving an explanation please?

Dude, I think it’s …
Dude, I think it’s actually George is dancing to impress the fans out there and Pat is actually dancing to express his feelings. And at the end, it shows that when u dance to express u get something back in return other then impressing.
I might be wrong too… Don’t hate me! Just trying to share. =)

Yeap! Total genius! I can’t help but to think how could they came up with this theme. Long live The Company! =P

i see where your …
i see where your coming from… but bboying is not only about flashy moves.
just like the company’s message is to dance with emotions, to the beat etc.
bboying has “become” about flashy moves just like hip hop choreo.
i dont see many bboys just do some nice clean top rock, six step etc
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
kvgisme, i think …
kvgisme, i think electronicglowstix meant that the company was aiming more to get out the message than to place.

wait is that Shaun? …
wait is that Shaun???
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
i also think thats …
i also think thats what they were trying to say as well as saying they are always giving new concepts to the dance community and they arent being recognized for it.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
It’s dope how it’s …
It’s dope how it’s hard to tell the difference between their styles they can mesh so well
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
the company….. …
the company…..gotta give mad props for putting a piece like this together. i honestly didn’t understand what was going on cuz i saw this backstage on a tv screen that was following shaun close up the whole time, but once i saw the whole thing….it all made more sense. i might be wrong as well…but i think they’re trying to point out that everyone is all about the theme and theatrics to the point that its taking away from the simple art of dancing to beat.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
makes a lot of …
makes a lot of sense. to me this set is up to interpretation. watch listen and question right? haha. that is a good take on it. i like it.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
dont forget pat …
dont forget pat cruz. both him and shaun direct the company. gotta give props to both of these geniuses.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:21 am
The Company always …
The Company always makes me believe something. Shaun as a visionary is so beyond my thoughts when he puts pieces together. These things blow my mind consistently. Keep doing this REAL work!!

where george …
where george representing the grown up version of pat where he is dancing to make a living, and now he dances for all the people who look up to him and kind of realizes that he can’t go back to those simple days. perhaps im off lol
hope that makes sense lol

i come back to this …
i come back to this vid like every week to gauge peoples interpretations , its cool to see.
. Looking at pats piece again , I got the feeling that he was trying to express the idea of dancing when he younger and dancing when he is older.
pat i feel like represented himself back in the day , when things were less complicated and people just danced for fun with friends , or maybe to impress a girl. And it didn’t matter what people thought. he did if for himself
