Great interview! I am a student learning in the 5th/ 6th generation! Reppin the ladies from Chicago! Going on my 3rd year of training! My foundations started with cfology online camp learning from various footwork Master teachers from 1st through 4th generation. Attending the online camps and classes along with my personal training, I have gained an appreciation for everyone in the Chicago Footwork communities! The history of this amazing art form has extremely deep roots and back stories that will have you laughing and crying all at the same time. Chicago footwork is a lifestyle. I train to apply the foundation to become who I am, "my style" in this culture! This will take some time but that's the beauty! Thanks for sharing with the world Our World! #Jesuslovesyou #Chicago #Illinios #Chicago Footwork #ladiesofchicagofootwork #Terra Squad FootWork Crew #member #on #probation #student #training #foundations #becoming me through you ❤❤❤
