I was born in Baar on June 3, 1980. I began practising acrobatics with a school friend when I was 8 years old – on old mattresses and in the fields. We tried out everything we knew, and whatever seemed possible. We didn’t have a teacher, but, step by step, more and more elements started coming together. Through the years I got to know different breakdancers from the region, and began to train together with them. We practised mostly in the Zug youth centre, “Industrie 45”. In 1997 I joined forces with other breakdancers, and every now and then we did small shows and ran breakdance workshops for various youth programmes. These were only on a small scale however. In the meantime, breakdancing had risen to be the central focus of my life. Still to this day I work on my moves with the same enthusiasm and passion as I did in the beginning; I want to give pleasure and enjoyment to as many people as possible with my dancing. I also love the challenge of seeing how far I can push myself physically.
