MEET APRIL RODRIGUEZ Thursday November 15: Hype Studios 9:00 to 10:30
April Joy Rodriguez began dancing Hula at age 7 in the city of Carson, California. It wasn't until the age of 18 though, that April took her first Hip Hop class. Her early training began with SuperDave Royster and Jayson Wright. With their mentorship, she began to develop a deep love for soul, groove, and dance.
In her first year of college, April was introduced to the Boogiezone community through competing with Kaba Modern. Since then, she's danced with various choreographers for different projects. Choreographers include: Jay Chris Moore, Jason Bueno, Jed Florano, and Jun Quemado. Although living miles away from San Diego, California, she also trained with SuperGalactic Beat Manipulators under the directorship of KJ Gonzales, Ben Chung, Lando Wilkins, and Kevin Brewer.
At 22 years old, she now dances for Gigi Torres, alongside other powerhouses, in an all-female group called "Essence Dance Company," where they focus on showcasing their strength as women and hope to become positive symbols to others in that way. Within this summer, April taught workshops with Essence ladies Audrey Benson, Aimee Lucas, Candace Brown, and also with Funkanometry SF ladies Mariel Martin, and Ellen Kim in different cities such as San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Tempe, Arizona.
"Apes" feels very blessed to be surrounded by passionate teachers, as she believes she's in the beginning stages of her dancing career. There is still much to learn. She would like to thank everyone she's worked with because she gains a different lesson from each person and their drive inspires her day by day. "THANK YOU, YOUTUBE!!!!!" She would like to also thank her family and friends for their undying support, and God for his unconditional love. April Joy has so many role models and lives off of the positive vibes of others. She hopes that, in her work and in her life, she will eventually become even a little bit of an inspiration to others and a contribution to the dance community.
Man, last night was soo much fun! Thanks to everyone who came out and worked their a** off. Elm, CJ, Nick, Anna and Vy, you guys are vicious! Way to work it! Thanks to Joey for helping out as my assistant. Hope to see everyone and more the next time around.....

Greetings Boogiezone community, my name is Jason Bueno and I’m 26 yrs. old. I was originally born in the Netherlands but have moved throughout the United States from Maryland, Oklahoma, and in different parts of California. I have been dancing on and off for about 10 years now and have been honored and privileged to have danced with groups such as Kaba Modern, Freelocypherz, SupaFrendz, Mavyn Entertainment and projects such as Jed Florano, Lando Wilkins as well as doing my own project alongside JayChris Moore. I am now currently reppin’ for Placebo Effect and Chill Factor Crew. The dance styles that I have and continue to train in consist of everything from popping, locking, bboying, house, commercial hip-hop and freestyle/newstyle. As far as my choreography styles goes, I would say that it definitely has a popping foundation to it mixed with all the other aforementioned styles. One other aspect that I could say would define my choreography would be the original music selection that I bring to the choreography dance scene here in southern California. Using music from artists such as Abstract Rude(ATU), RJD2, Tomoyasu Hotei (Kill Bill), Grouch & Eligh(LL), Blockhead, Alias (Anticon), Scarub(LL), Steel Pulse, Nobody, Josh Martinez, Prefuse73, and Bonobo, I try to serve as a medium to spread good music that one would not normally hear on the radio on see on t.v.
Although I do not regularly teach any dance classes, I have future goals to someday go back to school to study in counseling/psychotherapy with an emphasis in expressive art therapies, primarily in music and dance. My hopes for teaching this boogiezone class is not so much on teaching choreography or even my dance style but to share with those my understanding in the fulfilling and uplifting power that music and dance can have on an individual and as a community. With that said, I would like to thank Boogiezone for giving me this opportunity and I hope to see you there!

Lando roots his dance from the streets so to speak and just plain good 'ol hood fun. That lead to breaking, locking, and popping. Soon he implemented that into his choreography "freestyle" groove. Lando decided to stick and back his good freind Kevin in starting a team that praises the Lord himself, and they are called Super Galactic Beat Manipulators, the name carries character it self. Now representing Family Royale, which consists of the brother teams of Jabbawockeez, Boogie Monstarz (Phil Tayag), Press P.L.A.Y (Joe Larot), and SGBM (Kevin Brewer), Lando just loves to travel and teach whenever he can to make people enjoy dance just a little more with what little knowledge he can share.

MEET JAYSON WRIGHT
Ask anyone these days and they’ll agree that good talent is hard to find. More often, style and class have taken a back seat to watered-down, over-commercialized hype. When Andy Warhol claimed, “Everyone will have 15 minutes of fame”, who knew it would happen in this lifetime? But in the midst of madness there is always that something, or someone, that brings the soul back to life, giving one optimism that all good things don’t necessarily come to an end. That’s what Jayson Wright brings, a mixed bag of creative choreography that embodies the definition of smooth. He combines the perfect blend of his soul-filled southern roots, with dime-stop timing and effortless flow reminiscent of the first generation of Hip-Hop. Over his 20 plus years as a dancer/choreographer, Jayson has preserved all the right ingredients, and crafted his talent into world-wide recognition. His résumé reads like a “Who’s Who” in entertainment, working with the likes of Elton John, Pink, Marques Houston, Justin Timberlake, Tweet, Donell Jones, and Jay-Z for starters. He’s appeared on the MTV Video Music Awards, the Tonight Show starring Jay Leno, and Nickelodeon’s Teen Choice Awards. His commercial list includes Sprite, Sony, Bacardi, and Coors Light. His tireless work as a teacher and mentor also make Jayson one of the most influential figures throughout the international dance community. There’s no doubt to the history or longevity of Jayson’s journey. His unwavering demands of perfection solidify him as a bridge between the foundation of the past and the ever changing future.

MEET JOHN GILLETTE
John Gillette was born on an Airbase in Germany. He came to the U.S. when he was three and lived in Michigan until he was ten. Due to his father being in the Air Force, John moved to Montgomery, Alabama. While hanging out at a teen club when he was thirteen, john met Stephen "Twitch" Boss, and they battled in dance for 30 minutes straight! From then on, they teamed up and decided to form a crew called "Dream Team". They adopted moves from the inspirational movie "Breakin'", and ended up dancing together for the next few years until Stephen went to college. Motivated to leave the small town as well, John graduated high school one year early to enlist in the military. At the tender age of 17, he enlisted in the Air Force for 3.5 years as an F-15 jet engine mechanic. During his tenure serving our country, John was given the opportunity to sing the National Anthem on a weekly basis for all of his commanders. Realizing his potential in entertainment, the Air Force released him. John then settled down in Florida. While John was working hard in the military, his friend Stephen was working hard in Los Angeles on the Wade Robson Project airing on MTV. John went to L.A. to visit his friend and that motivated him to start dancing again. Once returning to Florida, John called every dance studio in the area in search of a teaching gig. Finally, he got his chance and he made the most of it. After teaching for about a year he learned about a competition called "Fashion Rock" headed up by Lou Pearlman and Trans Continental Records. John entered the competition and ended up winning first place. Although he received a scholarship to "Broadway" in NYC, John decided to put all his dreams on the line: He sold everything he owned, packed his car, and moved to Los Angeles with $500.00 in his pocket and a dream in his heart. After living the L.A life for 6 months, John realized he could not get enough income to support his outcome forcing him to move back to Florida. Returning to his teaching job, he honed his singing and dancing skills even more. An opportunity to dance for an up-coming artist in NYC came along and John did not hesitate. While in NYC, he met his future manager and returned 2 months later to record three demo tracks.
Currently, John is still working his production team and now resides in Denver Colorado. He teaches at the biggest hip hop studio in the state….Motion Underground. As well as teaching and performing in numerous industrials in the local market, John also co -chreographs for the Denver Nuggets.

Phillip Geniza was born and raised in San Diego, CA. Since a very young age, he enjoyed performing for talent shows and basically anyone that wanted to watch. During high school he continued his love for performing at a local high school competition called airbands. Along with the end of high school, came the end of airbands. With his desire to perform still burning, he sought out a new platform and found it. He was invited to FORMALity's private auditions by his good friend Dennis Phermsin. In the fall of 2003 he found a new home under the direction of Erik Saradpon. Since then Phillip continued to train at Culture Shock Dance Center under teachers like Sammath Orm, Sherman Shoate, and the wonder duo Sammie Cross and Julie Dismukes. In 2005 he was named Artistic Director of FORMALity's all-male junior team, fLipside. Along with directing fLipside, Phillip also teaches regularly at Studio429 and Mystic Stepper. He directs two more junior groups(RIOT7403 and pg-13) and is also the current Artisitic Director for EKetc's co-ed group, Mass Appeal.
When auditioning for FORMALity I did not at all expect what was to come. Dance has truly become something I PASSIONATELY eat, sleep, and breath. Everyday that God blesses me with, is another day to continue to improve my craft. I enjoy sharing my gifts and everything that I have learned with other people. I will always be a student and will always continue to push myself for my students, for they are my true inspiration.

MEET BRYAN TANAKA
For the past 3 years now I have been living in LA working as a professional dancer, teacher, and small time actor. My first love is dance and it has taking me on a journey around the world numerous times. I have toured with artist such as Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, and am currently on tour with Rihanna. Perfomring in front of hundreds of thousands of people around the world has been the most amazing experience ever. Along with traveling the world I have began to teach throughout the world. Teaching is another huge passion of mine. Being able to share your own creativity and being able to inspire people is an amazing feeling. I take my classes serious but in a fun and relaxed class environment. Meaning I'm a good teacher but am kind of a dork sometimes. On the other tip, acting, I still have yet to really pursue it. Although I had my acting debut on one of the coolest shows out right now, Entourage (season 3 episode 11). I still have soooooooooooo much too learn. But thats next. For now I still have alot of dancing, teaching, and choreographing to do.

At 11 years old he walked in to his first dance class in Issaquah Washington with his future mentor Bryan Tanaka as his teacher……..That was it……The day Lil’ Tanaka was born!
Anthony Ladao became the youngest member of Breed in 2005 showing the dance community in Seattle that a 12 year old could make well trained dancers and choreographers stand up and take notice. His professional experience includes dancing and choreographing for the Seattle WNBA/NBA dance teams, a dance role in Nickelodeon’s “Re-animated” movie, and continually teaching workshops and classes for Breed, Cruz Control and Westlake Dance Center in Seattle Washington.
In 2006, at the age of 13, Anthony was invited to audition for Janet Jackson in Los Angeles along with 2500 other talented dancers. Anthony eventually made it into the group of top 25 finalists getting the attention of Janet Jackson and her management team, Kenneth Creer and Johnny Wright. Currently, Anthony is working with Wright Creer Management on a project that will not only showcase his talent in dance but also introduce his abilities to sing, act and write…. Stay tuned!
Anthony has been blessed to experience more with his dance at the age of 14 than most will in a lifetime….
“My gift of dance is my passion… and there is no better feeling than sharing it with others”

Miguel Angel Zarate. So, that’s what my parents named me 23 years ago when I was born. Since then I have done quite a bit of things to establish myself as one of the most creative and uniquely stylized choreographers of the new dance era. (a Bob Fosse, if you will) I am presently on and have been a part of teams and companies ranging from Kaba Modern, Funks LA, & Unity LA. Most importantly I was the first to ever showcase my art as a solo choreographer in a competitive/collegiate/exhibition arena. Basically, I was the first “project” with Invite Only in January of 2005 at Vibe 10. In almost 2 years I have released over 5 different solo projects, each showing you, the audience member my range in movement, character, and style. From Filthy Gorgeous to Hugs & Kisses, My style has redefined “***” as well as “good” movement for years to come. Next, you can see me on Bravo TV on “Step It Up and Dance.” This will be my 3rd ever Boogie Zone Class! So come out and support. I guarantee it will be one of the best classes you will ever take.

Born and raised in Orlando, FL David was influenced by dance through music videos and concert tours at the age of 16. Most of his training in his early years consisted of many hours in front of the TV learning choreography from any and everything dance related. At the age of 20, David was a contestant on MTV’s Wade Robson Project and became a top 4 finalist. He decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a dancing and choreography career. Since then he's worked for Busta Ryhmes, Pepsi, and American Idol's AJ Gil to name a few. His passion for teaching has gotten him a packed class in the dome at Millenium Dance Complex and has taken him all around the country teaching workshops and conventions year round. This summer David will be teaching out of the country in Berlin, Stuggart, Munich, Switzerland, and Australia. He hopes to spread his passion and desire to make history in the entertainment industry all over the world.

MEET LESLIE SCOTT
Leslie Scott began her professional career as a choreographer and dancer by founding the Hip-Hop Coalition in her home state of Arizona . After growing the dance company to over 80 members with many credits under their name Leslie relocated to Los Angeles seeking further creative fulfillment.
Leslie now stands behind numerous televison, film, and commercial credits including projects with major networks such as VH1, MTV, FOX, HBO, UPN, TNN and the WB. She has choreographed for films such as Hyde Park and has worked with recording artists Beyonce, Ee-De, Angel, Latin Froz on camera and in live performances, just to name a few. She has been featured for the past 2 years in Hollywood’s Carnival Choreographer’s Ball and was invited to choreograph for the prestigious anniversary shows for both 2004 and 2005. She has performed at the Billboard Music Awards and the Radio Music Awards. She is a faculty member of the EDGE Performing Arts Center and tours with their dance convention LADF. She has been a featured Master Class Instructor at Millenium Dance Complex and Debbie Reynolds and has taught across America and in 4 different countries this past year alone. Leslie is well known not only for her talents but her unwavering work ethic. She is well respected, she is real and she always brings dedication, heart and a smile to all that she does.
Master Classes
Leslie’s classes are not your typical dance class. Her intricate style and attention to detail makes all of her choreography extremely unique. Her class environment is always nurturing and positive. She is known for inspiring her students to strive for the best within themselves in and out of the classroom. Her ability to teach musicality, explain transitions and the feeling of the movement is remarkable! Leslie always makes time to talk with her students, addressing their concerns and giving constructive critiques. It is not uncommon for her to willingly take time out of her schedule to work one on one with a student, showing up early or staying late to give extra help. Many students have commented that Leslie’s classes have not only improved there skills in dance and ability to hear music but have helped them build confidence and self-esteem in other aspects of their life, especially in the arena of auditioning. She constantly makes the effort to make sure her students are comfortable no matter what ability level or stage of learning they are at. She confidently communicates her choreography with any number of students from one to several hundred and has a disarming style and energy that will allow the mind to open so the body will follow. The feeling of intimidation is never present and the room is always filled with a contagious energy! Leslie is readily available for creative projects and Master Classes.

MEET ADDISON O'CONNOR
Hey everyone, I'm Addison O'Connor. I've been trained in many styles of dance and performance since the age of 4. I trained intensely in ballet, modern, jazz and lyrical throughout my life. I was eventually introduced to tap, samba, and of course hip hop. I attended a performing arts high school in Los Angeles where I really developed my love for choreography as well. I am now in my fourth and last year at UC Irvine. I currently represent CADC and have been a part of the team for 4 years (you may recognize my as the "white girl" in our "Fantasia" set), I am also on Sheroes all-female crew and have been since it began almost a year ago. I was also on Boogiezone's BREED OC/LA team for over a year and performed in its amazing show "EVE: Dawn of a New Horizon". I have choreographed for all three teams as well as for the Asian Greek Dance competition for the Irvine Lambda Theta Deltas and Kappa Zeta Phis for three years. I have also danced in many dance projects over the past 4 years for Khai Nguyen, Nick Golla and Anna Rivera, CJ Edward's Expressive Doubt, Knicole Haggains and Marnita Billups, and Kristine "Wobz" Bueta, and performed at Carnival at the Key Club with many of these projects. Professionally I have also done a few plays, an instructional dance video, and danced promotionally for Miss Sixty and the arrival of "Hairspray" at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. I have been attending Boogiezone Class for almost 4 years now and am honored and super excited to be teaching! I hope many come out and enjoy my class!

MEET ROCKO LUCIANO
Richard Charles Luciano, better known as Rocko, started his dance career at the age of seven. He trained and competed in jazz and rhythm tap with Act One Studio thru middle school and into high school. Last November, Rocko was introduced to the Bay Area�s hip-hop scene when asked to be an understudy for Micaya�s group, Soulforce. Soon after, he fatefully took a Funks company class with Mariel Martin, where he also met Funks Artistic Director Emerson Aquino. Rocko went on to audition for the group, and has now found a home with Funkanometry SF.Rocko is still exploring his style, but for now his choreography is abstract, style-heavy, and playful. His strong passion for art and music is very present in his commitment to hip-hop, and to the Funks SF company. He is SO amazed that the class he was incredibly intimidated to take a few months ago, is the same class he is now given the chance to teach. Rocko feels grateful because motivation and inspiration have now become easy things to find when surrounded by his Funkanometry SF family.

MEET TUAN DUONG
Hailing from Hue, Vietnam, Tuan Duong came to the US at the age of 7. A rambunctious and energetic child, he finally found a place to put all his energy when he began dancing hip-hop during high school. Tuan had been a part of the junior team Velocity Dance Troupe, and from participating in such practices and performances his eyes were opened to the OC dance community, and he wished to open up this world to others; so he along with his younger brother Shawn and good friend Chris Bitun founded a student run dance organization at their school called "El Toro Dance Club" and their own all-male group Surreal Dance Crew. After high school, Tuan thrust himself into the collegiate/street dance scene, where he met and became part of the Common Ground family since its beginning in late 2004. Currently at the age of 22, he choreographs and is one of the main audio engineers for Common Ground, UnderGround, and Surreal. Within the past few years, he has also been fortunate enough to train with Mavyn Ent. and be a part of Funkanometry San Diego. In Fall of 07, Tuan, Chris, and Shawn created a project and participated in their first competition at Maxt Out Chor, where they ended up placing second in the choreography division. Now, Tuan's distinct high-energy, sharp, yet groovy and fun style is becoming more and more recognized in the community, so come be a part of it!

Brian “Bam” Martin began his dancing career in early high school when his brother and sister, Sean (GRV) and Carissa, talked him into going to their weekly hip-hop class with them at a local dance studio in Chino, CA. Since then Bam trained and competed with their competition team. During that time at the studio, Bam focused on his jazz and technical training rather than hip-hop. However, he knew the hip-hop culture was the way he wanted to go. When He first started dancing, he immediately got into the art of bboying which he did for about 3 years up until his senior year of high school. In may of 2006, Bam got signed to be represented by Bloc Talent Agency, and began his quest in the industry. After several months, he felt a lack of experience and got tired of the whole industry scene. And it wasn’t until December of 2006, that he was introduced to the community when he took his first Boogiezone class. At the age of 19, Bam has done projects for, and has trained with various choreographers, including Gigi Torres, Jaychris Moore, Jun Quemado, and Lando Wilkins. Bam is currently dancing for Lando Wilkins/ Boxcutters, GRV, and always reps his crew CHILL FACTOR, to the fullest.

Alexis Avila started dancing when she was 16 years old at Artesia High School. As a child, Alexis was involved in Beauty Pagents and acting classes, but never took a dance class till after high school, when she took a Funks LA master class taught by Daniel Cruz. Immediately addicted, Alexis was overwhelmed and inspired because it was so different than the dancing she learned in high school. Artesia was full of booty dancing, crip walking, and clowning, which she loved, but the experience of learning new aspects of dance ignited a thirst in her that she couldn't deny. A friend from Team Millennia advised her to audition for their upcoming tryouts, and although scared, Alexis knew she was up for the challenge. Alexis made the auditions that year, and remained on the team for three more years. It is here where she began to craft leadership experience as the Captain of TM Juniors, thriving as their leader for 2 years. Alexis eventually left TM and tried out for Team Boogie Zone Breed, dancing with them for a year, and even becoming a cast member of EVE: A Dawn of A new horizon. Alexis has since returned to her roots, rejoining TM for a 4th year. She has also made the jump from leader to Director, starting her own team of girls called Sheroes, a team of strong-minded women, focused on helping the community both in and out of dance, donating all funds they earn directly to various charities, among which include The Take A Stand foundation, and The Jennesse Center, a program dedicated to women who've suffered domestic Violence, whose main sponser is Halle Berry. Alexis has taught at various workshops such as Si Summer Intesive, Free Dance Days, and Workshops all held by TM and TM juinors.

Dance Unlimted is now well established and acclaimed as the largest dance complex in Northern California, with a reputation of bringing in top Hollywood and world-class level choreographers.

Greg produces several major shows and events. Dance Unlimited is the home company of the Collaboration Showcase, which has made a name throughout California.
Another well known DU production is the hip-hop/breakdancing competition "Gift to Gig" and the Annual "Halloween Hip-Hop Dance Extravaganza" at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre.

Don't Spill It
MEET DEE BROWN
Hey everybody let me introduce you to a guy named “D” or Dee, whatever your preference may be. Dee is 24 years old and falls under the sign of the Aquarius. He was born in a small town called Portsmouth, VA. But was raised primarily in sunny San Diego. Aside from dancing Dee enjoys horseback riding, kayaking, and long walks on the beach… just kidding! What he really gets his kicks from is football, playing it, whether it be live or on a video game, watching it and even talking about it. Dee also likes to play video games as mentioned before. Dee also likes to get out and about and try new things too, and of course eating and trying new foods, and just being with friends. Dee has always enjoyed dancing but never thought of it as something to pursue seriously. To him it was all just fun, dancing in talent shows, school dances and later on in life nightclubs. It wasn’t until January of 2001when he got serious about dancing. Walking around the semester before at Grossmont college he found a hip hop class and it looked like fun so in the Spring of 2001 he gladly enrolled under the instruction of culture shock alumni Darla Gonzalez. She taught him the ropes, the basics, the fundamentals, and she was the start of his hip-hop training. A couple of months went by and Dee was steadily and rapidly improving and Darla suggest that he audition with this new hip- hop troupe called UrbanFX. He took her advice, auditioned and made the cut and is still there. Training under Vanessa Andrada and Jimrod Gonzalez he did nothing less than grow at rapid speeds as a dancer. Before his first year was over he was chosen to dance in a show with Unity Dance Ensemble by Tessandra Chavez as one of her hip- hop all-stars. So his training got even deeper, and more intense with her help. To add a bit more, he also received help in getting better by working with former UrbanFX dancer and roommate, Jaffar Smith and current UrbanFX dancer KJ Gonzalez. After one year with the team Dee started to go to L.A. auditions and soon enough he signed with D.D.O. artist agency in the summer of 2002. He received no work under the representation of D.D.O. so the following year, 2003, right before summer began he made the switch to Bloc Artist Agency, with the help of a recommendation from a friend in the L.A. dance industry, and about a month or so later he got his first dancing job, doing spot dates with R&B artist Ashanti, that consisted of, the BET Music awards ’03, the “Today Show” in N.Y., and the Pepsi Smash. In the same year following the Ashanti gig, He worked with choreographer Shawnette Heard on a movie trailer for an upcoming movie called “Drama Rama”, and along with some of his best friends, he performed at the “Lady of Soul” awards with 3LW. In Spring of 2004 he was one of two principal dancers for gospel artist, Tonex, doing shows in various locations from, Las Vegas, to Washington D.C. and cities in between. Dee currently teaches intermediate/advanced classes in studios throughout San Diego, including choreographing for local dance teams such as Acencion, and Formality. In the future he hopes to enhance his skills in choreographing as well as dancing, and freestyle. He someday wants to try to move to LA to pursue his dancing career as dancers say “full out” not just to say he tried, but to actually make a life of it someday. And that’s the latest on “D”.

Phillip Geniza was born and raised in San Diego, CA. Since a very young age, he enjoyed performing for talent shows and basically anyone that wanted to watch. During high school he continued his love for performing at a local high school competition called airbands. Along with the end of high school, came the end of airbands. With his desire to perform still burning, he sought out a new platform and found it. He was invited to FORMALity's private auditions by his good friend Dennis Phermsin. In the fall of 2003 he found a new home under the direction of Erik Saradpon.

When auditioning for FORMALity I did not at all expect what was to come. Dance has truly become something I PASSIONATELY eat, sleep, and breath. Everyday that God blesses me with, is another day to continue to improve my craft. I enjoy sharing my gifts and everything that I have learned with other people. I will always be a student and will always continue to push myself for my students, for they are my true inspiration.

THIS WEEK JULY 22 - JULY 24 - COMMON GROUND WEEK
MEET ANGELA LIN
BIO COMING SOON
Angela Lin started dancing hip hop with Common Ground dance team in 2005, and has ventured on to dancing with Mavyn Entertainment for the past year. Angela has choreographed for Common Ground, UCI's MCIA, Samahang Modern, Evolution, Mavyn, etc. and has taught several workshops and classes. Shout out to my dirty dozen!
Hey everyone, “want to see a magic trick…watch the pencil,” great movie wasn’t it? Anyways, my name is Matt G. and I’ll be your choreographer for Tuesday night! I’ve been dancing since I was 12. The very first thing that inspired me to start dancing was seeing Usher’s “You Make Me Wanna” video. He was the first person that I idolized that got me into this art. Determined to learn, I started out at Heritage Community Park in Irvine, practicing glides and liquid popping there. I eventually transitioned to learning how to break from the b-boys there. From my middle school years to the end of high school, breakin’ has taught me a lot about hip hop’s real roots, the art of free dance, the need for originality and musicality, the discipline to endure anything, and the competitive spirit that develops confidence.
In 2004, my friend Abe had told me about auditions for “Kaba Modern,” a team that I had never heard of at the time; this was way before ABDC folks! Long story short, I had become inspired once again to learn. While watching the auditions, I was approached by Dan Pham, an original member of Common Ground, with a flyer for their team’s audition. I decided to give it a shot and as the cliché goes, “the rest was history.”
Four years later, after becoming an original member of CG’s first season, I aspire to inspire and enjoy teaching others my passion. Being a part of CG has changed my life, they really are my second family. This team has taught me so much about dance and friendship. Moreover, in March of 2007 I was fortunate enough to be appointed to help lead our newly established junior team, Underground, alongside with my wonderful “coco,” Karen Mondok, “UGH SON!” Thereafter in June of 2007, I auditioned for DDO talent agency and was fortunate to become one of their clients.
After a month of blessings, I auditioned for Mavyn Entertainment and was fortunate enough once again to train under the company. From the very first time I saw this team at Maxt Out 2005, making the team had always been a dream of mine. As a company member, I’ve had the privilege to teach at various workshops and at Mavyn’s most well know workshop: In the Spotlight. I want to take this time to congratulate Clara and Mario on their wedding this Friday!!
Lastly, I’d like to thank God for giving me this talent, my family and close friends for all their support, Elm and Boogiezone of course! The b-boys at Heritage, Common Ground for teaching me everything I know, my kids in Underground for allowing me to be artistic as well as the people who chose me, DDO for sending me to various auditions and teaching me about the industry, Mavyn for making a dream come true and teaching me about “pictures and sitting in the pocket.” All the people who have ever taken the time and money to take my class, to all the future people who decide to, the people who actually read all of this! Last but not least, a person I’ve known for 5 years who has supported and endured so much with me, the person who kept pushing me to dance when I wanted to give up, my #1 fan, my best friend and whom I dedicate this piece to, Renn. Can’t wait to meet and teach all of you!
David “Q boi” Quach started dancing in 2002 with a subdivision of UC Irvine’s VSA. He was first inspired to dance through videos of various collegiate teams and artists such as Justin Timerberlake.

He has trained with Team Millennia in 2004-2005 and has contributed choreography to numerous teams and workshops including TM’s Summer Intensive, TM Jr’s, UC Irvine’s VSA, MCIA, Chaotic 3, Common Ground, Underground, and local community churches.

Steven Armendi was born in Englewood, New Jersey. Inspired by his brother Bernie Armendi at a young age, he started learning choreography in cotillions and parties. He has grown to embrace the art of dance since the age of 14.
His credits include back up dancing for Filipino artists such as Regina Velasquez and Pops Fernandez. He has trained with Future Shock New York under the guidance of Jennifer Yee and Jansen Mao as well as Ellie Burke and Dennis Caindec of CSLA. Some of his biggest influences, however, are thanks to his close friends Richard Garing, Myron Merced, and Jeff Laconico.
Steven is currently co-directing his company -- "Project D" -- based out Bergenfield, New Jersey. His main inspiration comes from those who are unique and who tend to think outside of the normal box. He currently teaches at Step By Step Dance Sport and is determined to those who want to learn something fresh and something new.
(First, 2nd to Last, and Last song choreographed by Ellis)
MEET JEFF LACONICO
Jeff Laconico was born in Quezon City, Philippines on July 24, 1988. He migrated to California at the age of 8, but was first introduced to the dance scene when he moved to New Jersey at the age of 16. Since then he's come to enjoy performing, but more importantly he has found major appreciation for the art of choreography.
Credits can go back to multiple college hip hop dance competitions with several different dance troupes. His biggest competition occurred when he got the chance to perform for the first ever Prelude East Coast Dance Competition in NJ. Other credits include back up dancing for Filipino artists such as Regina Velasquez and Pops Fernandez. Training credits go to his mentors from Culture Shock New York as a Future Shock NY Member while under the teaching of Culture Shock NY's Jennifer Yee and Jansen Mao as well as Ellie Burke and Dennis Caindec of Culture Shock Los Angeles.
Jeff is now a co-director for the Project D Dance Company -- created in Bergenfield, New Jersey by Bernie Armendi. He is inspired by dancers who use the art of musicality in their choreography as well as anything that is unique and innovative. He loves his company and has grown to call Project D his family. He currently teaches Project D Dance Company Classes at Step By Step Dance Sport and invites anyone who has the desire to grow as a dancer. He lives everyday by his main motto of "E.L.E." --- EVERYBODY LOVES EVERYBODY!
Elm Pizarro is an accomplished choreographer and teacher whose personal dance style has been described as smooth yet definite, hard hitting but fluid, with a hint of an "old school groove." With over 25 years of choreography experience, Elm's dance background includes founding and leading several dance companies, performing a multitude of times for audiences in the thousands, and teaching hip hop internationally.
Elm is most known for creating www.boogiezone.com - YOUR online dance community which is an emerging internet dance website which currently has almost 12,000 members worldwide. Join for Free.
He is also the co-founder of Team Boogiezone "Breed - Adult Exhibition Dance Company" (EST. 2003) and "Offspring - Junior Exhibition Dance Company" (EST. 2008) which as physical extensions of Boogiezone help to spread the Boogiezone philosophy of "Community" as members of these groups are made up of directors and members of several other competitive dance groups.
Over the years Breed has gained quite a reputation within the community as an exhibition company which continues to push the limits of concept and theming for stage shows. This past August 2007, Breed starred in their first major show with Elm serving as Creative Director along with Artistic Director Khai Nguyen, and Visual Arts Director Henry DeLeon. The team helped to create Boogiezone's first full fledged theatrical dance production entitled "EVE - Dawn of a New Horizon" otherwise known as the largest collaborative dance project ever organized. The much anticipated DVD will be released in the upcoming months! Look out for it.
Elm is also the creator of The Boogiezone Community Class which is recognized worldwide for offering some of the best hip hop instruction - as taught by up and coming and industry choreographers to the stars. This past November the Community Class became a "network" as two other Southern California dance studios adopted the program for a total of three. More local and international expansions for the network are currently in the works. Check out www.communityclass.com for more info.

MEET DAMIAN "DMOE" GOMEZ
Damian "Dmoe" Gomez originated from the San Francisco bay area and started training with the dance group, "gen 2". After highschool, he moved to pursue dance as a career in Los Angeles at the age of 18. Since then he has not only been able to pay his electric bills through dance, but also make a name for himself. He has worked with various artist like Janet Jackson, Black Eyed Peas, Cheetah Girls, and Jessica Simpson. Aspiring to be a choreographer himself, he picked up his stuff in early 2007 and backpacked Europe teaching in almost every country he could. He was an assistant choreographer for Tabitha and Napoleon on a SYTYCD episode, co-choreographer for a "NLT" music video, and creator of a piece for the touring group of "Def Poetry Jam". He is still very much in love with the dance group community and hopes to give back to the very same culture that nurtured him.
