Conrad's Bio
Growing up in New York City’s Artsy Lower East Side during the early 1970’s and 80’s, Conrad Rochester discovered his passion for music and dance. As the multicultural neighborhood began bubbling with individuals that are now considered legends, Conrad was engulfed by the energy of music, dance and art of this era. Initially, at the age of 9 with the Hustle, he discovered his keen ability to grasp and master movements. Then later as a young teenager, he became involved in the B-Boy Scene as a member of Fresh 14 and the Rockwell Crew. Self taught and motivated through competition, Conrad’s movements were elevated through local battles and inspiration from Martial Arts films. Competition with neighboring crews such as Scrambling Feet and BVD Crew built Conrad’s respect and talent among established peers. He was enticed by the fruition of this form of dance into Breaking and House through the incorporation of more foot and floor work.
