Bboy Name: Drifti

Type of Style: style + power!

Age: 16

Nationality: American

Ethinicity: Lao

I'm a well-rounded b-boy that has a bit of toprock, footwork, a little power, and several freezes (I'm a stylehead). I currently practice my moves to mix them together to make sets for battles. I haven't been in a real battle before but I'd like to be in one! I'm also a self-taught Bboy, learned from the internet with no one else to help me except myself!

I was inspired by the show America's Best Dance Crew when Super Cr3w came and did their first performance at the live auditions. I first thought it was pretty cool and decided to try what they did but eventually failed! On June 2008, I decided to break and to enjoy myself in the dance. I consider myself part of the "Younger Generation of B-Boys" because I get inspired what I see on TV instead of being inspired by legendary b-boys like B-boy Storm. I'm also inspired by other b-boys like B-boy Taisuke and Wing because of their originality, which makes me want to have my sets as original as possible and other B-boys like Cloud, Differ, Kazuhiro, etc. for their battle attitude. They all look like they enjoy their battles like many other b-boys do. Mainly, it's just some bboys that I fave inspires me.

I first witnessed bboying usually on TV and I usually see powermoves like backspins, headspins, etc. I used to thought that only power moves was breakdancing but there's more to that! The four elements, toprocking, footwork, power moves, and freezes, are important to every bboy and most importantly, listening and dancing to the music that is being played.

Other than Bboying, I like to try popping as my secondary dance. I was inspired to pop after seeing Poreotics on Americas Best Dance Crew! (ABDC). Song choreography is something that I also enjoy!
