EYE ON MODESTO HIP HOP CULTURE
By Joseph “PSUNO” Zimmerer
“Don’t KNOCK The Hustle”
Noel Serafin Aka E-Nock is just the type of guy to lead a crew, and this crew is Knock Squad. We had a chance to talk with him about preserving the future of Bboy culture in Modesto.
Knock Squad, what is it, who are you?
Hi, my name is Noel Serafin, I go by the name of E-Nock. I currently teach at Luv2Dance in Modesto. I also sub at Alegria Ballroom Dance 320 in Turlock.
I started Knock Squad because I wanted my students to be a part of something and not just come to class every week.
How did you go from Bboy to teacher?
My feeling that there might not be a next generation of Bboys or BGirls. This made me realize I should be teaching this art. That is when I transitioned into becoming a teacher.
What type of events have your students been showing off these new dance moves?
Well, every studio has its yearly recitals. We encourage dance at any event we get a chance to perform at, such as schools, churches, parks, and definitely an important one DOMO First Fridays.
Are you taking on new students?
I’ve been teaching about eight years and I have never denied any student, so yes, I am taking any and every student that is willing to learn this art.
Where can we catch up with you? Social Media Links?
Instagram is where I post most of the flyers, sign-ups, and information to our community.
