1) Why do you breakdance?
I bboy cause when I was a kid, I didn’t know how to dance at all. Until family from the NY came down and schooled me on music and bboying. A year later it became more then just a dance. If became part of my like just like graffiti did.

2) What year did you start?
I learned when I was a 6th grader. Stopped because of school and I started again the summer of 2003 with some friends from Burton High and one friend from my middle school.

3) How many times have you broke something or hurt your self?
Haven’t broken anything, just injured. But I did get a concussion attempting a airflare in 11th grade
What are those things?
I mostly injure my left wrist because thats the hand I use 2 do air freezes with. It happens at least once every 3 months now cause of all the pressure I apply.

4) What do you like most about break dancing?
I love the competitive side of the dance. U can get the same feeling u would get if u was playing sports. It’s a dance that isn’t out there like hyphy, gig, turf, and crump. Also it separates me from stereotypes.

5) What inspires you, or makes you keep break dancing?
Family, The original Burton High Crew, Rat Pack, Boogie City Residents(my crew), Jive Core, Rock Force Crew, Forever We Rock, and may my little brother Jonez and cousin Chris Mass from NY rest in piece).

1) Why do you breakdance?

Well first off the actuall term is B-boy but there are several reasons why I dance ,one of them being the most obvious …that i enjoy it more than anything ive ever experienced ! Even SEX !thats no joke either. When i dance i have so much fun that i forget about anything and everything that doesnt pertain to bboyin. If i have problems going on at home or if i have no money to pay my bills, i dance…to forget my problems…to escape the clusterfuck as Dane Cook would say
Which brings me to my second reason, Self expression. when theres drama going on in my life it affects the way i dance… my whole presence on the dance floor changes ,if that day or week things are going wrong and life seems to be going down hill,…. im a whole different animal…when im on the floor doin my thing its easy to see and even feel what im feeling, as ive been told by my friends. My feelings are translated into physical existance as the music enters my ears and pounds my eardrums without thought ,but just impulse, i start to move…this movement mixed with the music brings a euphoric feeling that numbs my worries and problems my adrenaline takes over and nothing seeems to matter…not the past , the future, just what is at that exact second…i see nothing but what im where im going next with my movement, i hear nothing but the sound of breakbeats jamin outa the speakers. when its time to go home i feel satisfied, i kno that i still have problems , but suddenly they dont seem so bad and life has a new meaning… Deep huh ! lol but …real

2) What year did you start?

I started in 2003 and since then on and off in spurts
3) How many times have you broke somthing or hurt your self?

I’ve only hurt myself maybe once at disney world.

What are those things?

I forgot to stretch and dislocated my shoulder doin a simple valdez(landed wrong), but I popped it back into place and kept dancing NO LIE ! this is why stretching is so important, but other than that just back aches and bruises but those are only temporary if you treat them right

4) What do you like most about break dancing?

Everything ! practicing with your homies the raw attitudes in battle the moves the atmosphere at events the people you meet especially the B-GIRLS !lol.

5) What inspires you, or makes you keep break dancing?

My own imagination…and the affects of pushing the human body and mind to its max potential

6) Do you teach and if so how might some get a hold of you if they wanted to pay you to teach them?

Yes I do teach! i teach at two locations North Port,Port Charlotte, and soon Sarasota !

1) Why do you breakdance?

I break because it pushes my body and soul to the limits. It makes me feel good inside. When I feel the music I let loose, when I battle it’s to prove to myself I am the better bboy.

3) How many times have you broke something or hurt yourself? What are those things?

I have had aches, scraps and bruises. Only one time I seriously injured myself when trying new variations in windmills. I tore my hamstring and pulled the muscles that support upper portion of my left leg. Preventing me from breakin for a couple months but that’s the price u pay sometimes.

4) What do you like most about break dancing?

I like the pounding in my chest, right before battle. The new people I meet when traveling to events like other respected bboys/bgirls from around the globe, dj’s and artist in general.

5) What inspires you, or makes you keep break dancing?

Well a lot inspires me to keep dancing. God, friends, family and specially my crew members cause no matter what I have a passion for they support me an it helps me push myself to be more innovative. And I thank them for that.

1) Why do you break-dance?

I break dance because I love to do it. It’s really something that I’ve actually enjoyed doing. I’ve gotten so much respect for this art, and I’ve matured as a person as well.

2) What year did you start?

I started sometime in February, 2004.

3) How many times have you broken something or hurt your self? What are those things?

Ha-ha, I’ve gotten so many injuries. I’ve pulled my groin, muscles in all over my legs, sprained my right wrist which has been in pain for almost 3 months now, and I hurt my back really bad. Not to mention bruises all the time.

4) What do you like most about break dancing?

The thing that I LOVE the most would be the atmosphere of going to jams. It’s the most fun thing in the world. And I love all 4 of the elements, it makes everything so much more fun. And I’m glad to be apart of it.

5) What inspires you, or makes you keep break dancing?

The thing that keeps me breaking is that I’ll always love doing it. My main motivation to keep getting better is watching other bboys. Especially my main idol, Bboy Junior.
