{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Renny, this is Renny Harris, better known in Philadelphia as Prince of the Ghetto.
[00:00:16]
Renny is the organizer of the Scanner Boys, and what he can do is introduce the crew, tell us a little bit about their history, and then we'll begin to look at a few of the dance moves.
[00:00:25]
{SPEAKER name="Renny Harris"}
Hello how you doing? Hello how you doing? Alright, I'ma introduce you to my crew.
[00:00:33]
I’m gonna give you a little background on them as I introduce you to them.
[00:00:38]
Right here to my left, we have Dave the Renegade. He was formerly in a group called Short Circuit.
[00:00:44]
Next we have the Hip-Hop Kid originally from the New York Bronx now living in Philadelphia.
[00:00:49]
He was formerly in a group called the Furious Rockers.
[00:00:52]
Next we have Wild Style, formerly the captain of the Twenty Five Starjammers, a very, very big group in Philadelphia.
[00:00:59]
Last we have Shalamar, formerly in a group called Short Wave- was that Short Wave, or...? Did I get it right?
[00:01:06]
Oh, I must have got it wrong, because he was in a lot of groups, you see.
[00:01:10]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
[Muffled] It was Shockwave.
[00:01:12]
{SPEAKER name="Renny Harris"}
Oh, it's Shockwave, I'm sorry.
[00:01:14]
Um, I know a lot of you are probably wondering how do you pop or how do you breakdance,
[00:01:21]
right? That's what I'ma try to do today, I'ma try to explain how you do that, okay?
[00:01:26]
Um, Be-before we do this, I'ma have everybody here say hi to you, because they think I dog the show, okay?
[00:01:36]
So, we're gonna have them pass the thing down and say hi to you. And you say hi back, okay? Okay?
[00:01:42]
[Crowd] Okay!
[00:01:44]
{SPEAKER name="Renny Harris"}
Alright!
[00:01:46]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Hello?
[Crowd] Hello!
[00:01:49]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 4"}
Hi!
[Crowd] Hi!
[00:01:51]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 5"}
Hello, how are you today?
[Crowd] Hi!
[00:01:55]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 6"}
Hello?
[Crowd] Hello!
[00:01:59]
{SPEAKER name="Renny Harris"}
Now wasn't that nice? Alright.
Hello?
[Crowd] Hello!
[00:02:06]
Alright, now since we got all acquainted now, we're gonna start to learn how to pop.
[00:02:11]
I want you to know that popping isn't very hard. Isn't very hard if you're very coordinated and if, if you're not coordinated, it's still, it's still is not hard, okay?
[00:02:21]
All you have to do is remember to put one part after the other, alright?
So, I'ma gonna give you a lil' quick lil' demonstration with my arm
[00:02:29]
and if you want you can stick your arm out to the side, but don't hit your partner next to you, okay?
[00:02:34]
Alright. It's like this, you have your arm out, the first thing you would do is put your hand down like this.
[00:02:43]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Come on, let's get some hands out over there in the audience!
[00:02:45]
{SPEAKER name="Renny Harris"}
Elbow. Yes, you can do this and it doesn't mean your funny or nothing.
