MMA

Well it's finally happened. MMA (Melbourne Music Academy) has closed till they find a new place at least. For those who don't know the joint is getting ripped down and getting built on top of with who knows what. Stupid council!!!

Anyway it's like an end of an era for me. MMA was the best chill out spot ever where everyone knows your name just like the old Cheers show ahah. The vibe was just there and in such a prime central location. It just screamed what we HipHop influenced dancers are about.

I'd have to say I'm very grateful to MMA not only for the venue but for all the people I've gotten to meet whilst training, jamming, teaching and even just chilling there. I'll miss sitting behind the reception just for the hell of it with Ruby and just wandering around wherever I want in general. Lets hope the next place they get is as good as this one in that it's huge, central and has the same vibe and hopefully same people coming back once it re-opens who knows where.

Lastly, I was fortunate enough to sub Advanced Hip Hop class the last Tuesday that MMA was open for Marty (Also in The Collektive). So here is some footage. Enjoy!
