Podcast #71 Guest: Eddie Styles (Rock So Fresh/Full Force)

In episode #71 of the Not So Fresh Podcast we invite Eddie Styles into the podcast lair to discuss: • Eddie's background in San Diego as he is a born & raised in this city, a rare thing in SD nowadays! • Eddie's upbringing in the dance scene in San Diego. His first crew was Rainbow Groove..... All the way to Unique Rock, Funky Matters, Culture Shock days, Rock So Fresh, Jabbawockeez and Full Force. • The back in the days talk of San Diego, how dancers were housers/groovers/poppers/breakers. • We talk about a few key figures in the San Diego scene that danced and had big influences on the hip hop crowd. • The glory days of Rock So Fresh, how Eddie got down with RSF by battling E Swift and Optic at the now defunct Martini Ranch (shoutout Cros 1 & Charlie Rock for the Bus Stop) • Eddie's outlook on dance and how footwork and dancing was something he gravitated to it. Also how bboys in choreography crews took their styles from Eddie & Rainen in Culture Shock. • Eddie details his latest travels around the world battling in top level competitions such as Outbreak, how the pandemic affected the international dance scene and why younger cats aren't truly inspired in the dance. • Eddie managing other dancers and his online presence on IG to create and inspire others. • We go off on many tangents as usual, there's a lot of RSF history, Jabbawockeez years and personal opinions throughout the podcast... the usual Not So Fresh podcast stuff such as diet/training/workouts and lifestyle. There is too much to type out for this outline so please listen in! Holler at Roxrite on IG and tell him to get his ass back on the cast!
