I've been dancing since I was three in ballet. So, I I dreamt of being a ballerina when I was a kid. Basically, worked every day 'til the age of 15 at at being a ballerina. I had been over the years I had really gotten into street dancing and watching it and I loved the movement and it was so opposite of what ballet was but I really it inspired me and being a ballerina gave me the coordination to pick up other dance forms sort of quickly. Take me higher than I've ever been before. I'm holding a back, just want to shout out, give me more. Done with the hide away. You're just a feeling. You let my heart escape. Be on the meaning. Don't even I can't find a way to stop the storm.
Oh baby, tell me the truth what's going on? What's up young Hollywood? I'm Kaiza and this is my backstage diary and I'm gonna be taking you through a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes. Um, dancing, music, technical stuff. And uh, yeah. So, here we go. Um, there's so many kind of genres of street dance and I'm just really scraping the surface right now. So, it's same with music. It's like it's sort of an endless journey within itself because it keeps evolving. So, here we are at my rehearsal and I'm gonna take you through a little bit of what's going on and the people that I work with. Okay, this is Junior. I bet you can guess what he does.
He is the official in-house drummer and he's the best drummer ever. Ever. Yeah, I got my my Adidas, my my green vest. I don't know, I'm always rocking different stuff. Sometimes I like to wear a lot of sports jerseys as well with art printed on them. Uh, we have a style. What was our what's my style? Everybody wonders what my hairstyle is called and um, I I tend to call it the Steam Hawk because I have my fashion line called Steam Pop but sometimes I call it the Kaizasaurus because it makes me look like a dinosaur. Sometimes. But I tend to call it the Steam Hawk more more often. Hey young Hollywood, thanks for coming to my backstage diary and I hope you enjoyed our rehearsal.
