CLOSED SUNDAY By Kurt Begalka Plaindealer news service "Welcome and start pop­ ping," shouts Mario "CMU" Amatangelo, 14. "You're about to dance with the best of the shakers, known as the Wood­ stock City Breakers..." Amatangelo is the caller, or "rapper," for the local break dancers. He is as close to a leader as the fledgling group has. The group of six dancers practice most days from noon to 3 p.m. in front of Grigg Booksellers on the square. They range in age from 3 to 14. With their boom box (radio) and a piece of cardboard taped to the sidewalk, they begin to spin and sway. Seth Kugler, 3, "tuts"-an Egyptian-style strut named after the ancient king. Kugler's street name is "Dr. Hop." They "air float" and imitate Michael Jackson's backwards shuffle, called a "moon walk." "Mr. Footwork," also known as 13-year-old Gary Sokoloski, says: "It's like reversing your steps." TTie boys have practiced as a group the past two weeks. Sokoloski practices whenever he can. "It's a learning ex­ perience," he says. He began break dancing about two months ago and relishes the freedom of expression it provides. "It uses gymnastics, strength and ability in dancing," Sokolodd says. "It's the people that cant do it that don't like it," Amatangelo says. He started "breakin" about three years ago, watching and imitating. Of course, no one "bites" (copies) another's move. "That's wack (crum­ my)," he adds. They improvise, adding a twist here, a twirl there. Hiey feed off one another, par­ ticularly in challenges against rivals like the Crystal Lake Breakers. On Wednesday afternoon, 275 youngsters packed into the Dean Street Sdbool gym to learn moves. The class was was conducted by the City of Woodstock Recreation Division. Instruction was provided by teenage break dancers. Amatangelo likes the spon­ taneity. "You have no bonds," he says. "You can dance wherever you want." Adds Jim Freeman, 13: "It's a free thing to do." Twelve-year-old Chuck Strauss, "Triple X," says speed is an important ingredient to good break dancing. That means loose-fitting clothing and a good pair of "kicks," preferably canvas high-top gym shoes. "Converse (brand) is the best," Amatangelo says flatly. Other accessories include a nylon jacket, thin gloves and a hat to facilitate spinning. Bapdannas and pins are op­ tional, but recommended. Several members also have hook earrings in one earlobe. The accessories freshen a performance and help a dancer to "chew," i.e. relax. The free- form style allows them to make mistakes and still look good, Amatangelo says. A good break dancer also must be in tune with the music, says the "Red Max"--Mike Bennett, 12. "You have to know when to mellow out and tighten up," Amatangelo says. If you are interested in joining the group, telephone 338-3878. They're also looking for large sheets of cardboard or perhaps old linoleum. "Break dancing is like hap­ pening all over the world," Sokoloski says with a smile. "It's spreading throughout the country Band's centennial season Donations are needed for book sale celebrated with concert series Donations of bodes are being sought for the Johnsburg District library's book sale, June 21 through June 23.
