Your never too old. . . .

If some of you have not figured out, I engulf myself in anything I do, and prepare myself for the long haul. Sometimes it gets to be much for me. . . .but this guy let's me know that anything can be done. . .At any Age! Here's info I've learned/known on the B-man known as Storm. . .(used from the website www.stromdance.de)

Niels "Storm" Robitzky
'Storm' started dancing as a little child, but seriously cought on to the dances Bboying, Popping and Locking at the age of 14. His first tours he did for "Bravo Breakdancesensation 84". Soon after that, the big fashion 'Breakdance' died out. Nevertheless, he didn't stop studying styles, got connected with other Bboys and stayed creative and productive throughout the unfashionable ages until this date.

By 1991 his group "the Battle Squad" was one of the leading bboygroups worldwide and thanx to them and others, the art of Bboying is so alive and strong these days.

In 1991 and 1992 him and his crew Battle Squad won the "international Balle of the year".
Because of the struggle in times when Bboying was out of fashion, he decided to establish HipHopculture in the theatreworld.


From 1992 on he danced with a New Yorker dance Company called 'Ghettoriginal'. he performed shows in Washingtons 'Kennedy Center' and in NYCities 'Lincolncenter'. While living in NYC he got his feeling for "Funk" back by working out with "Mr Wiggles" and "Adesola" at rehearsals and on off days. So he started studying the dancestyles popping and locking.

During the same period he was hosting the HipHop Magazine 'Freestyle' on the german TV channel Viva.

Briefly after quitting the job in early 1996, he decided to form a dancecompany in his hometown Berlin, which was called the 'Storm and Jazzy Project'. With two choreographies they toured many different theatres around the world.


In 2004 he conceptionalized "The art of urban dance" and choreographed with the other 8 performing dancers an informative didactic piece with 10 other dancers from europe. This show has also been touring around the world with great support of the "Goethe Institute" in the middle east and Asia.

This is what gets me. . .the man is 40 years old, and still holds it down for the art and the performance. . .not to mention the love, for dancing. . .but he's just not a pop locker. . . .

check this video I saw that was posted by Cros 1:


This is dedication, this is love. . .and this is Hip-Hop.

I guess you can say this is the first installment of "Hip-Hop Props". . .my props out to the people that have, in some form, moved me to keep on doing what I do. . .So enjoy this. . . .

I figure something out for the next month. . .
