HONEY ROCKWELL INTERVIEW
Q: Whats your Bgirl name, How long have you been dancing, where are you from?
A: I rock with the name Honey Rockwell. I’ve been dancing bgirl style 16 years but physically involved with gymnastics anddance for 30 years. I’m originally from the Boogie Down Bronx and Inwood Park, Manhattan. I currently reside in westchester, NY.
Q: What/who inspired/mentored you to in becoming a Bgirl and about the culture?
A: Louie “New Wave” (may he rest in peace) inspired and motivated me to incorporate my gymnastics with some bboy/bgirl moves. He also is responsible for introducing me to my Mentors Ghetoriginal dance company, Rock Steady and it was through this company and crew where i met the rest of my worldwide Bfamilia 
Q: Describe the biggest solo battle you ever been in. Who was it?
A: Actually i never really battled in an organized battle before. That came after . lol But i do remember a time when me and the crew (RSC) went to France and i was dancing in a circle and these guys started battling me and i was like oh snap why are they all tryin to jump me, so i looked around for back up and i saw Flo master being attacked and then i realized i was on my own for this one. lol
Q: Is the scene different from when we were celebrating RSC anniversaries at 98th & Amsterdam (in 94-96)and how the scene is now? Please explain.
A: Yea i feel the scene has changed alot since our 94-96 rsc anniversary days. I mean there are some postive and negatives to it. The scene back then i felt was a little more intimate like u knew what was going on all the time. There wasn’t that much going on so when something went down we all knew. These days the scene is so large and world wide i can’t keep up. I feel like i know no one anymore. On a positive note the evolution of bboyin is sick. The skilll levels are amazing on what these dancers are doing. I feel all aspects of the culture have definitely taken a step up as well as creating a market for us to support ourselves and our families .
Q: Is there a difference between the way a BGirl dances verses the way a BBoy does? What are the diferences?
A: Actually i do believe bgirls dance and move differently than bboys , but i have seen bgirls imitate the bboy swagger. Some may say, girls look like they are dancing like a guy but i see it like they just like rocking that style and swag . I also think that 10 years ago maybe could’ve been a big difference but now girls have been rockin for along time and are just as good. Skills, power, Flavor. They got it too now.
Q: In the resurgence of the dance in early 90′s there were only a small handful of Bgirls. Name others like yourself that have helped pave the way for the Bgirl movement.
A: Other bgirls i saw in 94 rockin it were Rocafella, Masami, Deena, Wandee, Z boogie, Brendi, Marcela (Italy). about a year later Asia, Miss twist, Beta and then after that it just kept multiplying.
Q: Breakdown 3 of the most important things a beginner Bgirl can learnfrom you?
A: 3 things a beginner bgirl can learn from me. hmmm 1. basic bboy/bgirl history facts 2. Basic foundation moves and terminologies 3. stretching and conditioning techinques.
Q: Do you have any students (Bgirl or Bboy)you are closely mentoring?
A: Right now i have about 8 (twelve yr old) boys that i just started teaching from scratch . I see incredible potential with them. Hopefully they stay consistant with it .
Q: What direction do you see the dance going in 5yrs? Progression or regression and why?
A: I see the dance just getting stronger in the next 5 years . Def progression because there is a whole new generation out there training as we speak. As well as the ones that are currently active and competing. The bar has been raised in this dance and there are no ez props out there , so everyone needs to step their game up.
Q: How important (as a BGirl) is it to have a sick hand style (tag) signature and why?
A: Haha because if East see’s it he will check u on it and make sure u rock it better? lol remember that 
(very good and patient teacher East is i must say
