I don't like breaking at like parties or clubs.
It's like the worst idea to do.
I remember I went to a rooftop spot.
I tried to show off.
I did a 1990 and felt like on three girls.
After that day I'm like I'm never ever dancing again
at a club.

I do breaking and I'm from Kissimmee, FL Breaking was
inspired and influenced by Kung Fu, gymnastics, by a lot
of African dances, Indian dances.
So it's all of that mixed in one.
My creative process, to be honest, is music, just improvising.
You never remember what you did, but you remember the
feeling.
There's times that I'm recording myself and I see the
move.
I'm like, all right, I keep it and keep it
as a signature.
So breaking is not just about moves, but it's about
movement within the music and basically your body is like
the instrument.
I break every day.
I session with my friends and there's times where I
have like the creativity session, you know, late night sessions
where you just want to create.
I never liked the studio setting.
It just didn't have that character, you know?
And especially where breaking comes from, it comes from the
Bronx, it comes from the streets.
I gravitate more towards like the grimy practice spots with
graffiti in the back.
You know it, it just has more feeling and more
culture.
I just want to show the essence of the dance.
I just want to show what breaking is all about.
