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.
