Rubber Soulz originates out of St. Jean de Brebeuf High School located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. About four years ago, all was quiet in the halls of SJB. Marc was the newest bboy to hit the scene, and he was bustin' up the floor at school dances. This sparked interest in some of the minds of his many observers. Particularly Chris D and Ken. Not knowing what to expect and eager to learn, Chris and Ken approached Marc. In a matter of weeks, one of the strongest foundations for a crew was formed. As time passed, it became a lunchtime tradition to practice bboying outside of the gym hallway. The original members of the crew include Marc, Chris, Ken, Edwin, Jose, and Ricardo. Ricardo has graduated and left Brebeuf, but many new members have joined. Other members included Marco, Del, Chris V, Carlos, Charlene, and Kniessl. From the days of practicing in the hallway, to the talent shows, the Rubber Soulz bboy crew became a well-known group who stressed the importance of the bboy essentials: toprock, footwork, freezes, power and dancing to the music. Practice will allow someone to do powermoves, but experience and dedication will create style.
Rubber Soulz performed at numerous school talent shows, and the Concession Streetfest but time continued to move on and things began to change. |
