Casa London: How do you portray the motto, “Stay Hungry & Stay Humble” in your daily life?
Loebz: Because of our work with kids, I am constantly reminded of how hungry we are to learn so I apply that to my daily routine. On another note, I’ve realized that you can also be humbled by kids. I truly believe everyone can teach you something new.
NN: Professionally and personally, I feel that I am very hungry for success and always look to expand my knowledge. Being a part of IAW and having the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life keeps me balanced and allows me to uplift others.
JFX: My gratitude for the life my parents have given me by moving to Canada definitely keeps me humble. I also have a personal goal to better myself as an individual, to do more for others and to leave this message for our students to carry forward - staying hungry and humble is not taking the life you are blessed with for granted, but making more out of it than you could ever imagine.
Casa London: Lastly, what advice would you give to future bboys and bgirls?
Loebz: Don’t give up. Try your hardest and always step outside of your comfort zone but mostly, HAVE FUN!
NN: Foundation!!! Not just with technique, but with this culture. Find out where hip hop comes from, how it evolved and what you can contribute to it. If you have a solid foundation, you can build a strong skill set in this dance.
JFX: Welcome challenges. Don’t expect results right away and don’t be discouraged when you fail. Take the time to learn from others and always remember to spread the love.
