This one means a lot to me.
Breaking was my first love. When I moved from my community to the city, I didn’t always feel like I had a place where I belonged… but hip hop gave me that space. It gave me a way to express myself freely and feel accepted.
Even though I’ve transitioned more into powwow and hoop dancing, I’ll always be a b-boy at heart. That’s why this moment was so special.
Growing up, we didn’t have opportunities like this. We did it for the love. So to be here now, dancing alongside some of the best in the world, sharing my culture, and creating something together in the circle… that’s something I’ll never forget.
These are dancers I’ve looked up to for years, and being able to connect, learn, and create with them meant so much to me.
I’m really grateful for this path, for staying with it, and for moments like this.
Big thank you to for bringing us all together and News for capturing it so beautifully.
Thank you to Dakota Hotain for bringing the good medicine of the drum, and my brother for sharing his gift through dance.
And to all the B-boys and B-girls who shared their stories and energy…nothing but respect. You all made this experience unforgettable.
See you at the world finals in Toronto in November!
