Personal Note:
I found Tal Iozef to be an amazing and influential teacher. He is absolutely encouraging and patient when it comes to his students. He introduced locking in hip hop classes when there didn't seem to be any locking classes taught in Vancouver. I think the year was 2004 and he was trying to convince the dance studio he taught at to add a class for locking. It's now 2008 and he's one of the best sought teachers in his area of expertise. His unique talent is now bringing him to perform with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas.
