Testimonials

  • "Working & even being around Skitz is always a learning experience. I’m always trying to absorb as much as I can because at every event or interaction it’s clear how hard he works on his craft, even outside of dancing, and it’s inspiring to be around someone like-minded when it comes to the arts!"

    - Jeremiah, Dancer (IG:@Jay2reall)

  • "Travis being a familiar face and uplifting energy at these cyphers and events where I run into him means a lot to me because I see that he really care about the art of dance and helping other dancers feel welcome in the NC street dance community. It’s also a huge inspiration seeing him do his thing at these events or helping to run/organize a session/event."

    - Joshua, Dancer (IG:@JJBlakk)

  • "As someone who’s seen how the community has evolved over the years, it was great to see how everybody no matter what generation they were from came together to get down at the BullPin sessions. There were no biases or style discrimination against anyone and whatever you brought to the floor got it’s due respect. Events like the Bullpin sessions are much needed for the street dance community!"
