Street Styles

Brooklyn native, Jamie J, has been dancing since the age of 5 and got his break as a choreographer at the age of 11 when he did some work for a block-party in his neighborhood. That first experience fueled Jamie’s passion for performing. While following his dream to be a choreographer, Jamie took a good detour singing in the Grammy Award winning LFT Church Choir under the direction of Hezekiah Walker. While in the choir, Jamie had the opportunity to work with artists such as Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Praz of the Fugees, Shirley Caesar and P. Diddy.

Jared Grimes is a young and vibrant additive in the world of the arts where he is heavily making his mark in Tap and Hip-Hop/Street Jazz. On numerous occasions, he has danced alongside legends such as Wynton Marsalis Gregory Hines, Ben Vereen, Jerry Lewis, Fayard Nicholas and also performed for Barack Obama and Ted Kennedy at the Kennedy Center.  

Javier Madrid also known as ‘Javier Ninja’ is a name known worldwide. With the different styles of dance Javier has learned and integrated, he has managed to develop a unique style of his own.

Javier has the ability to contort his body in ways unimaginable and leaves the audience in awe, craving to see more. Although it may appear that his unique style of dancing is an easy task to accomplish, I can assure you, that is untrue.

Ephrat "Bounce" Asherie has trained extensively in ballet and modern dance, but has found her artistic home in the street dance forms of b-girling (breaking), Hip-Hop and house.

Ephrat began b-girling in Brooklyn in 2002 under Breakeasy (B.I.S crew) and training in Hip-Hop with Leslie Feliciano. Soon after, she was introduced to house music and has been greatly influenced by the New York club scene ever since.
