Street & Club Dances | Artist Faculty
From Harlem, New York, Chrybaby Cozie is one of the founding fathers of the Hip Hop freestyle genre, Lite Feet. Being raised in Harlem in the late ’80s was a source of great influence for Chrybaby, as it was his foundation for dance, music, and the source of inspiration to uplift the youth and communities around him today. Chrybaby has been teaching Lite Feet and Hip Hop for more than 10 years and is currently teaching at the Exile Dance Studio (EXPG), Peridance Capezio Center, and Broadway Dance Center in New York City. Chrybaby has been cultivating and keeping the Lite Feet culture alive for ten years, as a creator and pioneer of the style with the NYC youth. Through this culture, he has created a Hip Hop dance organization, ‘The Bwreckfast Club’ E.A.T (Earning All Together), in 2005. ‘The Bwreckfast Club’ is a platform for youth to build upon their passion, talent, and be given an opportunity to promote themselves in a positive light. After the creation of ‘The Bwreckfast Club,’ Chrybaby created ‘The Lite Feet Nation’, a community connected by individuals who were there from the conception of the dance genre to the youth who keep it alive today. His extensive knowledge and connection to Hip Hop and Lite Feet has led him to working with artists such as Chris Brown “Kiss Kiss,” Ron Browz “Pop Champagne” ft. Jim Jones and Jules Santana, ASAP Ferg “Dope Walk,” Swag Kidz “5000” (which has over a million views), Kiesza “Give It To The Moment,” The Bad Boy Reunion Tour, Halo Awards (hosted by Nick Cannon), The View ABC TV Show, The Apollo Theater (Breakin’ Convention), and Hot 97’s Summer Jam. Chrybaby’s passion is to empower youth with knowledge and dance, and continue spreading the culture of Lite Feet and Hip Hop. His dedication and love for the culture has changed his life and inspired many others around him. “Leveling up is my way of life. Level Up Amongst The Greatest.” He has been a judge for Street Style Lab, Rep Your Style 5 Pointz, EXPG Battle 101; led Conventions/Workshops/Camps in Taiwan, Pulse Studios (Calgary Canada), and “Au-dela des prejuges (Switzerland); and has interviewed with The New Yorker, New York magazine, and Complex magazine.
