Having staff members who are or were involved in the dance scene definitely help shape the types of people we deal with. We’ve supported the popping community through westcoastpoppin.com since it’s creation—keeping in close contact with prominent figures in the dance world as well as its rising stars.

Our homie Slim is definitely one of those rising stars. The first time I saw him was at the Focus competition about two years ago. I remember how hyped he got the crowd. “Oohs” and “aahs” were thrown at him every single time he killed the beat. But behind the crowd’s applause are countless hours of practice. Popping as a dance style requires immense body control and technique. To the untrained eye, it may just seem like a simple movement, but once you learn the fundamental theories, you realize how impressive these dancers really are. Slim’s animation techniques are definitely world class. He’s battling in competitions all around the world and showing everyone what popping in the West Coast is all about.

Another reason why we enjoy working with him so much is how he never hesitates to reach out to the community he thrives in. We’ve posted in the past about his work with local schools, and he frequently throws jams around the West Coast. After talking to him a few times, we can definitely tell that he’s doing these things to support the dance.

Check his clips out and we dare you to not be impressed.
