MEET MATT GUTIERREZ
Hey everyone, “want to see a magic trick…watch the pencil,” great movie wasn’t it? Anyways, my name is Matt G. and I’ll be your choreographer for Tuesday night! I’ve been dancing since I was 12. The very first thing that inspired me to start dancing was seeing Usher’s “You Make Me Wanna” video. He was the first person that I idolized that got me into this art. Determined to learn, I started out at Heritage Community Park in Irvine, practicing glides and liquid popping there. I eventually transitioned to learning how to break from the b-boys there. From my middle school years to the end of high school, breakin’ has taught me a lot about hip hop’s real roots, the art of free dance, the need for originality and musicality, the discipline to endure anything, and the competitive spirit that develops confidence.

In 2004, my friend Abe had told me about auditions for “Kaba Modern,” a team that I had never heard of at the time; this was way before ABDC folks! Long story short, I had become inspired once again to learn. While watching the auditions, I was approached by Dan Pham, an original member of Common Ground, with a flyer for their team’s audition. I decided to give it a shot and as the cliché goes, “the rest was history.”

Four years later, after becoming an original member of CG’s first season, I aspire to inspire and enjoy teaching others my passion. Being a part of CG has changed my life, they really are my second family. This team has taught me so much about dance and friendship. Moreover, in March of 2007 I was fortunate enough to be appointed to help lead our newly established junior team, Underground, alongside with my wonderful “coco,” Karen Mondok, “UGH SON!” Thereafter in June of 2007, I auditioned for DDO talent agency and was fortunate to become one of their clients.

After a month of blessings, I auditioned for Mavyn Entertainment and was fortunate enough once again to train under the company. From the very first time I saw this team at Maxt Out 2005, making the team had always been a dream of mine. As a company member, I’ve had the privilege to teach at various workshops and at Mavyn’s most well know workshop: In the Spotlight.

Lastly, I’d like to thank God for giving me this talent, my family and close friends for all their support, Elm and Boogiezone of course! The b-boys at Heritage, Common Ground for teaching me everything I know, my kids in Underground for allowing me to be artistic as well as the people who chose me, DDO for sending me to various auditions and teaching me about the industry, Mavyn for making a dream come true and teaching me about “pictures and sitting in the pocket.” All the people who have ever taken the time and money to take my class, to all the future people who decide to, the people who actually read all of this!

MEET BAM MARTIN
Brian “Bam” Martin, was born and raised in the city of Chino, CA. He is 20 Years to this day. Bam began his dancing career in early high school when he took his first hip-hop class at a local dance studio. At that time, Bam began to train and compete with their competition team. During that time at the studio, he focused on his jazz and technical training rather than any hip-hop styles. However, he always had a love for anything that had to do with hip hop music. In May of 2006, Bam got signed to be represented by Bloc Talent Agency, and began his quest in the industry. After several months, he began hanging with the community scene a little bit outside of L.A., where he was introduced to such teams as Team Millennia, Kaba Modern, Culture Shock, and much more. He knew this was the scene he wanted to be apart of at the time being. Bam then joined a collegiate dance team from Cal Poly Pomona called GRV in early 2007. Since then, Bam has trained and done projects under various choreographers such as Gigi Torres, Jay Chris Moore, Jun Quemado and Lando Wilkins. In early January 2008, Bam was asked to train and perform with the Boxcutters for local shows and competitions. Bam and the “Boxcuttuhz” recently made their appearance on the first couple episodes of MTV’s Americas Best Dance Crew.

MEET LANDO 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 friend 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.

MEET LYDIA PAEK
“I talk with a melody and walk by beats,” is what this 18 year old encapsulates her perception of oneself. Though most girls her age are still figuring out what they want to do after high school, Lydia already has the talent that most girls at any age dream about. Born on March 28, 1990, Lydia was born in LA and raised in a Korean household where music was in her blood from the beginning. Her mother studied to be an opera singer and her father was a dancer, who also played instruments. At age 3, she started to play the piano. But as a child, she sang soft and low, afraid of what people would think. Growing up, her parents had to work regular jobs to support their family and we’re rarely around because they had to constantly work to make ends meet. It was during these times, Lydia learned more about herself and how to become independent. Like most Asian parents, they were strict on Lydia. They made sure she studied hard in school and got good grades. A career in music wasn’t exactly what her parents had planned for her. It wasn’t until high school, she discovered her true love for music. She expressed that “without music, I wouldn’t feel right. I had to be an artist.” She remembers rushing home from school to surround herself with friends who loved to dance and shared her passion for music. At age 15, she began taking dancing seriously. She describes dancing as “a way to get my emotions out.” Since then, she has built a family in the dance community. Some of her biggest influences Lydia has trained with are John Patrick Goldstein, Jun Quemado, Gigi Torres, Nicole Marnita, Jeff Viray, Lando Wilkins, and also Dominic Sandoval and Hok from Fox’s dance show, “So You Think You Can Dance?” As a teenager, Lydia had to go through tremendous adversities. At age 16, her best friend Darnell passed away. She said, “he was the one who actually pushed me to something with singing and dancing. He encouraged me and made me believe in myself.” During those tough times in her life, she turned to musical greats such as Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, India Arie and Jill Scott. She admires these musicians for their strengths as women and how their poetic lyrics can make an impact on her through troubled moments. Lydia also musically admires and respects her close friends, Gabe Bondoc and AJ Rafael. “They’re very talented musicians, Gabe studied Opera and AJ is a talented composer.” Behind her funky street style, her hip-hop inspired dance moves and her uniquely matured voice, Lydia is just like every 18-year-old. She loves to hang out with her friends, drink Starbucks and go onto YouTube. Lydia hopes to inspire everyone she meets and to have the ability to share to the world her love for music.
