Together, in SOLIDARITY ☪️🙏🏻

Worked for the W at @thebboybeatdown footwork battle this past weekend. Shout outs to @kingreds.81 for organizing this jam & footwork qualification.

First clip on the MMDAY stage was 11 years ago, 2015. Last time I stood on it was about 7 years ago, 2019.

2026 hits a little differently. Every year, win or lose — I’m looking forward to going head to head with the best. See you all next weekend in Seattle, WA.

Beyond excited to announce the opening of the @FINESTCITYDANCE LAB — coming soon to San Diego, CA. A new space for hip hop street dance foundation in the city!

“The Finest City Dance Lab is San Diego’s street dance sanctuary, offering an intimate training environment dedicated to breakers, funkstylists, and hip hop freestylers to simply “lab” — a shared process where dancers teach, create, learn, apply, and session together. Street dance disciplines were built from the streets to the garage, so this space is our ode to staying raw but impactful.

We are not your typical dance studio; we are a shared co-creative space for dancers, providing a safe, welcoming environment where movement artists are encouraged to build their craft by empowering them to work and scale themselves, and grow their hub all under one roof.”

Plesse don’t hesitate to reach out to be involved and share any ideas or questions you may have!

📍 Located and connected to the state-of-the-art @sdunited_trainingcenter in Kearny Mesa 🤸 Thank you to the SD United team for opening your doors and trusting us with this vision!

As hundreds of people gathered to speak out against Mayor Todd Gloria's budget cuts to arts and culture funding, bboys and bgirls danced in a cypher next to the line to enter the City Council meeting to express their frustration with the proposed budget.

Bboys and bgirls cyphered in protest of Mayor Todd Gloria's cuts to arts and culture funding on Monday. They entertained a line of hundreds waiting to attend a City Council meeting on the topic.
