*Why B-Boying?*
B-Boying saved my life! It saved me from crossing to the dark side. Now I am free. So to me, dance means freedom!
*When did you start breaking?*
I started in 1997, so this year it'll be 10 years.
*What made you start?*
My brother who was in German jail wjhere he learned it from a Russian criminal.
*How would you describe your style?*
Napster all elements included.
*What is your cultural background?*
I was born in Poland in 1980. In 1989 the communism ended and after that it was a hard time to grow up. Without parents and with only my grandma aroung, life made me stronger. When she died in 1997, I started dancing and this made me free!!!!!!!!
*What inspires you?*
Just look around, everything can be your inspiration but for me the most important thing is the music.
*How is the scene in your hometown or in your country in general?*
When I started in my city, I was the second person who was dancing. Now there are around 100 people and still more are getting into it. Poland needs to learn a lot. In old school, power moves was on the top. Now its style and foundation but if you want to be complete you have to known all and also the history. I try to do all those things, that’s why my style is like Napster (a program with all in it).
*Are you a professional dancer? If so, can you mention some projects you have been involved in?*
Yes I’m a professional dancer. B-Boys can always get some job for commercials. Some of the companies I have worked for are Chupa Chups, Mentos, Axe and Simplus.
I’m also teaching at:
12 Benches -Teatr Muzyczny Gdynia Poland
Avdelning X - Nordic Black Teather Oslo Norway
Break of Down - With Frestyle Fanaticks Sweden
*Do you practice any other dance forms?*
No.
