Catherine "Kaka" Yeast
This time we prepared for you a look into the life of a successful dancer and a member BDS Academy Catherine Yeast alias Káky. This has twenty-three dancers dancing in the genes. Her mother and grandmother were dancers, and even her sister is a dancer. To, both started with dancing, what her street dance and enjoy seeing the Czech dance scene, We chatted with her and you can be there.
Hi, Dashed. I'll start with the classic question, What were your beginnings dance?
Ahojky :) I started in the children's classic průpravách, I, that was the first ballet, then some dancing rings, I got up to dance groups and I was still anchored in the ECHO Prague, Later BDS. I think, it was also given by parents, mother as well baletila like my grandmother.
Your mother was a ballet dancer? And where dancing?
My mother went to the ballet as a small, but the grandmother was a dancer for more, I, that was primed even prima ballerina, but not the exact layout, so that later also ended. But where dancing, I do not know exactly, but the grandmother was certainly in a ballet company. I also have distant relatives from my grandmother and all of the ballet. My godson knee is acclaimed ballet dancer, which he gained with his wife, Thalia, and several are now working in the theater J. C. Tyl in Pilsen, where controls ballet. Both were soloists of the National Theatre in Prague.
So it is cool! It got great genes :) Even your sister dancing, already? It is with you in the BDS …
Exactly … I think, Ze rivalry in the hec, who among us used to be, when we were still dancing disco, helped us enough to, we started to really promote and grow faster, because we just competed :)

So you started with disco and then you went straight to the hip-hop?
Year, Then I went to a group, where did the disco, with whom I actually began even in the Echo, and then only through a peace I got to the first form of hip hop here in CR.
And what made you interested in hip hop?
It's a dance, which has its history and still evolving, not as a disco! It's an entire culture, they live. When I dance hip hop, It has meaning for me, I, I do.
So which style do you love most? Hip-hop or something else? I read, that you began to devote a lot of dancehall …
When I take it in turn, I started with hip hop, then added House, s popping a Poté dancehallem. These are my love :) I do not have a definite, I like the most, I street dancer, and so I try to engage, I can. Last year I went on break dance, thus – somehow slapping and obouchávat to the gym :)) A i to je super. This year I started to step. The very basics of getting even with him it takes me.
What about your beginnings with battlováním? Bývávala you nervous or did you go into it since the beginning of the head and you just enjoyed it?
I certainly used to be nervous, and when it comes, today happens to me, I decide that something. If a man begins to use and nevykašle on other factors, which prevents him from doing, probably never open and are not reflected quite naturally so, how it should be.
One has to get used to it, that it looks full of club people …
Definitely! It will only practice. Just freestyle, freestyle, freestyle! :)
Vzděláváš also for foreign dancers, riding the workshops?
In, clearly! From them it came. Trying to, I can, but it is not easy. Still love to ride my workshops, eg. summer I was in Italy for a week, Now I go to NYC in the winter. A workshop organized by BDS Henry Linke in November.
So much you inspire dancers from abroad …
Of course, but I would like to say, that just the most I train with my brothers and sister here, and it is my greatest inspiration and the most frequently!
The SDK jezdíváš?
I used to go on all week, But even before last year I was just a few days, I tasted and other similar events.
For example, The Week?
Exactly! For me, in terms of lecturers, it was absolutely bomb – Brian Green, Rabah, Guchon, Yoshie, Caleaf Sellers, Joseph Go, Deny, Byron … It was great, a little heat on training, but it is soaked :)
What you said, in winter, going to New York. Going for dance or relax on holiday?
I go there for dancing, but also to spend holidays with her mother, sister and her friend still, the dancer.
We know, where you walk in New York, on what teachers, workshopy či párty?
As for New York, I'm not there very adept. But I know from past, that lessons are super Perridance, Steps on Broadway, Djoniba Dance Center, and sometimes in the Broadway Dance Center. And I want to go to a party certainly, because when I was there first, I did not even 21 flight :)
And when you were in New York for the first time, What did this entail feelings? What you captivated New York?
I've been there before so 3 years ago, the sister city to identify and test workshops with teachers. I liked it there too! I was very excited about, that there seems to really like on TV :) When I first saw these huge buildings, I had tears in her eyes and I thought: Finally I'm here!

What do you think about the Czech dance scene?
Czech is doing the dance for me very well to, as a small státeček :) But I think, that if people are more deeply interested in the real dance, everything would be much quicker and better, and the Czech scene would be raised by more. There's plenty of quality dancers and teachers, but also vice versa, and these people cycle slows.
There is enough action, where dancers could realize?
There's plenty of action, but at the expense of well thought through, not all. I think, it is not good, Although in a weekend simultaneously meet three shares.
And you, Prague is a lot of events, lives there? Do you often at a party?
I think, that what the party concerned, it's cool in Prague. We go quite often, whether they only listen to good music or dance.
The organizing battle you happy?
In, with battlama is too heavy. It seems to me, Moravia action that makes for its people and Praha again for their. Few who travel from Prague just to Moravia, and vice versa, which is a shame. We should all meet somewhere. But it is logical, the dancers go to events around them, where they are closer.
Now, some currently – 'll jurors on Saturday in Hradec Kralove on Bruk outs. Are you looking forward?
The Bruk Out to look forward too! It will be the first major event purely dancehall. I hope, it grabs people more and more, and that we look at the Jamaican dancehall performed by people from the CR and neighborhoods.
Thank you very much for the interview :)
I also thank :)
