Yusif Yusif
Hi, my name is Yusif! I’m a self-taught street dancer who specializes in hip-hop, popping and funk. I’ve been working with Star Performance Academy for just over a year and I’m so grateful for all the knowledge I've been able to receive and share through teaching! My passion for dance started when I was 13. After being introduced to a show called, ABDC (America's Best Dance Crew) it inspired me to pursue dance further. During high school my most memorable activity was becoming a member of the dance team. Hip-hop was the main focus during this time but popping and funk had caught my eye. After becoming more interested in the dance community, my experience improved from sessions at the University of Waterloo. I took the time to attend dance battles in Toronto, Montreal and locally, to gain feedback from a variety of influential dancers. Throughout the years I've had many opportunities to perform publicly at different types of Art Festivals (Blues Festival, Orangeville Potato Festival etc.). When I’m not dancing my other passion is photography and videography. I have a Certificate for Media Foundations at Conestoga College. I also work full time at an AC installing /Duct Cleaning company. I currently have my G3 Gas Liscence at Hi-Mark School of Trades. I’m thrilled that dance is something that has grown to be a part of my everyday life. The accepting and judge-free dance community encourages me to share my skills and teaching is the best way to do that!
