...Meaning this forum

Hi, my name is Arellius. [A-ray-lee-us]
I'm 24 years young and was born and raised in Amsterdam with a Scottish upbringing.
I'm actually 50-50 Scottish/Dutch however I feel way more Scottish so that's what I usually tell people that
I am.

Coming January 24th, I've been in this miraculous world of Pickup for nearly 5 years and still loving it.
I've traveled and sarged in Jamaica, Kenya & Las Vegas. With Las Vegas & Nairobi being my favourite city's to sarge.

Early this year I've started to give some coaching, I felt ready I could give valuable advice that works. Even though I have a small price I still have allot to learn in the sense of coaching, sometimes I give free workshops in Amsterdam too boost my coaching experience or I just want to give, give & give to the community here in Amsterdam/The Netherlands.

I'm happy to be here, for quiet a while I've been searching for a good global forum where I can do everything in English. For the past 2 years I've been on the DutchAttraction forum, a well known forum based for the Dutch community. It's cool there, however I feel more comfortable doing things in English since it's also my Mother-Tongue.

Further more besides Pickup;
I'm a dancer and entertainer working in theaters, giving classes doing competitions and dance battles as much as I can. My main skill is a dance called ''Popping'' but I also do Breakdancing and a little contemporary besides that. As well as working with theater groups I do my own solo performances now and again.

I love reading, mainly about Psychology, mostly cognitive. I read books on and study deception also, it intrigues me allot. I just love to read in general and gain more knowledge.
I love writing, too.

Well I could go on and on but I think this should cover my intro for now, very much looking to posting and getting acquainted here*

Kind Regards,
Arellius

Welcome. I can personally say that I'm really looking forward to reading anything you write. I have some questions about popping.

I can still remember the man who taught me popping describing some little offhand point about how if you're on the dancefloor and you want to attract people's attention, start with a big, unmissable piece and then work it down into a tight, smaller routine that people have to move close to see. I remember thinking "oh, wow. other people put thought into what will attract people's attention?"

I had that same jolt when I found out that PUAs existed and that people put a lot of thought into attracting women and seducing them too.

Questions. How do you work popping into sarging... if ever? I imagine you might even intentionally leave it out cause it's such a solo dance (unless she's a popper, in which case tell me where you found her and I'll fly there).

Thanks.

Hello My Darling ! (funny name you chose, hehe)
Well, I never really specifically work ''Popping'' into sarging, when I'm on the dancefloor I do dance however I just use symple steps and actually look like a buffoon sometimes..But the most important factor is; I'm having fun*

Happiness and enhtousiasm is contagious, when people (especially women in clubs) notice you are having a good time and can dance, they will want to join you.
The shy girls mimic your moves from a short distance and the party girls just jump next to you and wanna join in. The curious ladies come up and ask you who you are because you've got such good charisma when you dance.

I only do Popping seriously when there is a good song on, I wouldn't Pop to Nicky Minaj or anything, more like an old school 80's funk song, a song that I really feel to the core inside me. And when I radiate the energy of possibly being a dancer by profession, women could get curious and come up to me. And when they do, from there it's kinda easy (when you know what to do in sense of Pickup).

So the best thing is when you go out to dance, is have fun.
I suppose you do battles maybe ? Put it into a cool but modest and humble story with some excitement and you will definitely have her hanging around a while...

I hope my answer helps you, thanks for asking !

it does! It's a fun read, and inspiring. Thanks Arellius! It's got me thinking, if you're 80's funk, what am I? Going to do popping to a lot of various styles and have fun with it!

Haha thanks, glad to be of service
When you feel genuinly good and not forcing anything while you dance, you will radiate positive energy that will get people (women) curious..
