Can a dancer master diverse styles? Depends on the dancer, I suppose.

Maria, the Am Cab I see younger dancers doing today and the old-style Am Cab that I teach look very different. I'm not sure it is so much the result of an evolution as it is an actual divergence in style. New is very heavy on pops, locks, fancy torso tricks; old is smoother, more emphasis on undulation. I don't know enough about tribal style to come to a firm opinion about it, but it seems American Tribal has had a lot of influence on the new style AmCab .

If I am wandering off topic, I apologize.
