Long story short, in addition to our natural freestyle and flowing movements, we also started to let some Boom Gat creep in here.

You know the drill ... third dance of the session = specialty dance. This time around, the people were craving an R&B dance. But this time, we wanted to add yet another twist ... Boom Gat. 

What dat means, you ask? There's a style that has popped up in the street dance/performance/choreographic realm, especially in the Cal/SoCal area over the last few years. It is often called Hip Hop (for lack of a better term) which is a misnomer as it's usually danced to R&B music and is only loosely based in Hip Hop movements. Teachers of this style rarely use counts while instructing, preferring instead to imitate the sounds of the music. This result is something that sounds like, "Okay, so you start in with a boom ... boomgat, ah, boom, boom, gat", hence the "name". The style looks very gestural, minimalist and staccato, as the movements are crafted to follow nearly every syllable and beat available. It's arguably the opposite of how you would freestyle. It's more like putting together a thousand piece choreographic puzzle. As such, it's a very brainy game but can actually look quite beautiful if done well.
