Chris Bata's Field report and video: Hype 5-0 at BoogieZone NJ

Chris Bata commented on his experience at Hype 5-0's workshop at BoogieZone NJ:

Josh and Casey's Boogiezone class was actually the 2 year anniversary class, making this class doubly special. The class overall had a very good turnout. About thirty to forty people were in attendance. Josh and Casey taught a very, emphasis on very energetic routine to the song "Tear The Roof Off" by Busta Rhymes. Interestingly, they gave us the option of choosing which song to learn because they were "indecisive". Everyone picked the song that sounded more hype. The routine for the most part was very energetic, looked kinda intricate, but in the end it was okay to learn. They are some of the best teachers in the business, it's no wonder they were Hypersquad's delegates for America's Best Dance Crew. Not only that, they are some of the nicest and funniest people you will ever meet. 

All of the seven crew members from ABDC season five were there to support Josh and Casey. All of the Hype members have that "Aloha Hospitality". When I walked in they didn't hesitate to greet and welcome me. I went for a handshake, they went for a hug. Josh is really funny too, Cindy (Fr3sh, UFP, Boogiezone NJ Exec) was having trouble introducing Casey because she couldn't pronounce her name. Josh whispered to her to say Casey "Hakalugi" (Hock a loogie). After the class there was a meet and greet and merchandise opportunity. By far, I would say this is the best Boogiezone Class I've been to in forever. Probably the best class I've been to in forever. Mahalo Plenty to Hype 5-0 for teaching the class. It was a MAJOR MAJOR success. If Hype ever teaches a class in your area, I urge you to go. Sure, you might be sore after (I'm still sore right now, it was quite a workout), but trust me, you will regret not taking the class.
