MEET LANDO "Daywalker" WILKINS

Arlando Lee Wilkins was born February 13th, 1983 in San Diego, California. He is the oldest of two boys in his family. Lando loves two things most, fooling around and people, and since the earth has both of those he is a perfect addition to it. He began dancing at the age of who knows??? At the age of 19, he chose
to take dance a little more seriously and began taking classes with Angie Bunch and Anna Sarao. From there he left to join 220 and after two years with that family he left to train with mess wih the style of "beat manipulating" with Kevin Brewer. 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. You can now find Lando enjoying himself at Culture Shock Dance Studio San Diego, and other workshops along the coast and Las Vegas.
