Chunky was surfing randomly over some article site and accidentally found his silly face on an online newspaper site. Interviewed by Wendy from MyPaper, here is a little something about the chunky man himself. Look, they even have a corny Vodcast.
ps. Chunky is not 19. he is 21.
The article is published in Mandarin. But fret not. Our funky secretary comes to our rescue. She translated the article and it looks something like :
can you imagine 'locking' your hands and legs when u're dancing?
dont worry, the locking over here is about stopping at a point .
locking have become the recent dance trend which is the youngsters favourites.
locking was discovered by an american don campbell.
locking mostly uses hands,emphasising on the sharpness of the dance.
its different from hophop because locking is a funk style which is a part of Old school
19 year old ian,one of the lockers have open classes for learners.
he have richful locking dance experience and have had been to other countries for performance.,even
performing for president nathan at the MCYS event .he is also the
champion for lock category at last year's stomp the yard dance competition.
talking about the process of learning locking, he said" initially i watched online videos and
learnt it step by step, because theres no professional instructor,thus i wont be able to know
whether i learnt the wrong thing.
for the sake of learning locking,ian have been to taiwan and have had interacted,exchanged
pointers with dancers from taiwan ,korea,france and america.
its defintely a tough learning process for any dance and of course gaining the ample satisfaction and fun .
especially in locking, its a kind of party atmosphers feeling and adding in own's flavour.
"i always encouraged my students not to only learn from me but also adding in flavour thru ownself discovery."
last year,october,ian started teaching locking at O-school.
he wish that thru teachings and videos,more people could know of the existence of locking.
he also started preparing a fliming plan,aiming to spread locking awide.
until now, he have uploaded over 70 dance videos on youtube,just search"locking singapore and chunky" and u'll find ian's video.

ps. as you probably can realize, the english was kinda weird. and seemed like it has been directly translated bluntly from mandarin. Which is part of the fun part of why we decided not to change any of it for visual grammatical humor sake. Good one Su Ling!
