Bryan Lee
Occupation: Character Designer (Draws monsters and stuff)
Age: 24
Years Breakdancing: half a year
What made you want to start Breakdancing?
You can do it anywhere, and it is something different. I like weight lifting but it gets boring.
What was your biggest struggle?
My biggest struggle has been trying to understand my body. Breakdancing makes your body move in ways it's not used to.
What do you like about Breakdancing?
I like the fact that it is formless. If it looks cool; you do it.
How has it changed your life?
It has made me stronger. Helps me understand which parts of my muscles are not as strong. It has helped me get over the fear of doing stuff in public.
Anything else you would like to say?
It compliments weight lifting quite nicely.

Age: 24
How long have you been breakin?
A year and a half.
What made you want to start Breakdancing?
I really enjoyed watching breakdancing and decided to try it.
What was your biggest struggle?
Gaining the strength and flexibility to be able to perform different moves and staying injury free from the bumps and bruises along the way.
What do you like about Breakdancing?
I like the fact that there are no rules and its all about originality and discovering your own style.
How has it changed your life?
It has made me mentally stronger because it takes a lot of time to improve but by not throwing in the towel can see that I am getting better.
Nina
From being unable to walk to finding a surgery procedure that could restore her physical ability, Nina has by far been the student that has gone through the worst to Breakdance. I sent her a gift certificate right before her surgery and didn’t hear from her for a year. After an excited phone call from her and a talk about her surgery we decided she could dance but couldn’t do any twisting motions. So we kept it old school and focused on the Robot and Electric Boogaloo. So what is your excuse?
Checking the gift certificate for authenticity
Nina could walk after the surgery but had to retrain her body.
