WHAT IS DANCE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU: To me dance is the best art form all over, am really passionate about it; it’s much more expressing than the other art forms, no disrespect for the other art forms, just showing some love.

AS A DANCER, WHAT IS YOUR VISION: At first my all time dream was to travel and see the world through dance but after I got more inspired, I just want to touch someone’s heart, it’s a really good feeling trust me.

WHAT CAN WE DANCERS DO TO IMPROVE THE VALUE WE GET FROM OUR SKILLS AND TALENT: Respect your art form, treat it with discipline and you’ll get surprised with the results, be humble and have nothing on your mind but practice.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOU MANY ENGAGEMENTS WITH DANCE: to be honest I don’t dance every day, but I always find some 2 hours or so to practice at the end of the week.

Where do you train: Just at home.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM YOU IN 2013: a whole lot, more upgrades, teachings, if I get the chance to and performances as well.

YOU TOLD ME YOU TEACH POPPING AND LOCKING, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT: original style back then was called pop-lockin, a mixture of robotics and locking, it later developed to popping, so to say I know robotics and some locking.

WHO IS YOU DANCE ICON(S) BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY: locally my friends, I look upto to them and they look upto to me, we build together (Bboys and Poppers), internationally the original generation: pop n taco(from the movie breakin-1984), dr.who, chuco, tic tac, ace rock and waveomatic (r.i.p) these guys really taught me a lot and inspired me. New generation: boogie frantic, tempo and greenteck the very best.
