"Taking Up Room on the Floor" a phrase created by Jeriel Bey as a way to describe T.U.R.F.'n aka TURFIN this is not just a dance it's a Lifestyle many Bay Area young and young at heart. But like many dancers the art doesn't alway equate to riches or fame, unless you have a lot of drive and a business mindset you can live off your talent with the help of social media or a willingness to teach your craft. The most Important part to remember is if you really love Turf Dancing you would do it for free its a feeling of expression untold in words.....literally. The original Turf Dancers would tell stories while they were dancing with pantomiming and musicality, Turf dancers like one of the original dancers Ronald "Head" Singleton who invented a dance called the dope fein based off seeing a homeless shooting up herion in front of him as a child. Dancers telling stories with movement is not new but the storyteller has and the style that tells it the best in hip-hop dance out of Oakland,Ca is TURF DANCING aka TURFIN.
