Coach Nelson speaks
about Break Dance Club
By Decarus Wright
Do you like to pop and lock? Are
you amazed by how people are able to spin on their heads? You are about to find
out in my interview with the coach of OHS’ Break Dance Club.
“The experience of coaching a dance
club can be fun and challenging at the same time. When you’re a break dance
coach you have to balance working on your dancing and helping the students with
their dancing. Other than that, I enjoy every minute of working with these
kids.” This was a quote stated by OHS’ Biology teacher and Break Dance Club
Coach Brian Nelson. The Break Dance Club, which made its debut in October 2007,
is a club on its way to new heights.
It has performed well on its
brightest stages such as, the Cool Schools event at OHS in early January 2009.
The Cool Schools event was when the CBS news crew came to OHS to film our big
pep rally which started from 5am to7am. All of the credit goes to Nelson. “We
were proud, we worked hard, and it was fun to represent Osborne by having a
great performance.” He claimed. In as early as two years the Club has shown
progress.
The Break Dance Club practices and
meets in the school cafeteria two days a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Nelson
says it takes tons of practice to learn these moves which, is the reason that
they have three hour practices. He also encourages his students to work hard on
their dancing. “It is hard to say who shows the most notable talent so far. The
students all shine in different areas.” Nelson proclaims. In practice club
works on a variety of dance styles such as, Hip Hop, Break Dancing, Popping and
Locking. Their amazing dance moves are proof of the hard work and effort that
the Break Dance Club puts in to improve their dance skills.
