Throughout the years, I travelled around hitting cyphers and taking workshops and getting help\/advice from countless poppers such as Popula, Pandora, Chuco and countless others.<\/p>\n<p>My goals are mainly to make an impact innovating with a unique twist \u2013 and to continue cypher\/battling everybodyJ.<br \/>\nI can\u2019t explain why I dance &#8211; music or not, it just happens. I love to battle<em id=\"__mceDel\">.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The StageMe Experience was fun. I mainly entered for feedback and critique from Icon. Icon is one of the dopest tutters\/finger tutters I&#8217;ve seen PERIOD. There&#8217;s no awkwardness when he blends styles together. It just flows. So it&#8217;s only fitting to have him as a judge for the tutting contest.<\/p>\n<p>Testris or Geometric would also be incredible.<br \/>\nThanks to StageMe and Dance Mogul Magazine for this opportunity &#8211; it\u2019s all pretty new but interesting! &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Judges Comments:<\/p>\n<p>Mike had originality he was dancing to the music, he went all the way to the ground with his tuts and used inward, outward angles. He even did finger tutting. And it was unique.<i> &#8211; <b>Icon<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>WINNING PERFORMANCE<\/b><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kad05t0s3y8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nTo keep up with Mike you can check them out at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/sokento\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/sokento<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JOIN STAGEME NOW NOW FOR MORE GREAT CONTEST<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/dancemogul.com\/news\/www.stageme.com\">www.stageme.com<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; StageMe and Dance Mogul Magazine are proud to announce the People\u2019s Choice winner of the TUTTING ORIGINALS #4 | Dance Video Contest.
