JEREMY'S BIO
Jeremy has always had an inherent interest
in dance for as long as he can remember. Inspired by his
father, an experienced gymnastic tumbler and his grandmother,
a gymnastic and dance instructor, as young as 10 yrs. old
he boasted the longest held handstand in school. Although
always interested in acrobatics and dance, Jeremy didn’t
begin training until the age of 16 when he sustained an
injury, the separation of both hamstring muscles, abruptly
ending a hopeful soccer career. Through watching videos
and receiving basic instruction through, old school breakdancer/friend,
Chad Kaneakua, who had been dancing since the 1980’s,
Jeremy learned quickly. He also realized that once he knew
the basics, how good he got was 100% up to him. He practiced
bboying everyday on the cement patio in his families back
yard until he obtained enough skill to become part of Chad’s
“performing crew,” “Fresh Breakers Incorporated”
(or FBI for short).
As a member of FBI he participated in hundreds of shows
in the Midwest including, but not limited to: Utah Jazz
Halftimes, Special Olympics, Abercrombie Fashion Shows,
Earth Wind and Fire, ATC ‘Around the World’
Tour, Urban Vibe, Miss Utah Pageant, and the Closing Ceremonies
of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.
Upon turning 19, Jeremy left the crew and dancing to serve
a two-year mission in Southern Spain for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Dancing little during those two years, he knew it would
take extended effort to train and continue to progress in
the breakdancing community, and still maintains his practice
schedule of once-a-day for at least 2 hours. At 24, Jeremy
continues to perform and compete all over the states with
his new bboy crew the “GroundHounds,” under
the name of “Bboy Sloth” (BBoy being a term
used to describe someone who solely dances to ‘’the
breaks’’ of the music: hence the term “break-dancing”)
Jeremy also maintains that he can teach ANYONE as long as
they are willing to work hard, listen, and be committed
to learning what he calls with a smirk, “the most
physically demanding and difficult dance form in existence.”
