Ives’ Hip-Hop journey began in 2007, and everything that was passed down to him through his mentors, experiences, and community is something he now carries forward with purpose. Through both his university teaching and mentorship, he continues that cycle of knowledge by passing it on to the next generation. He believes mentality defines mastery, challenging dancers to push beyond their limits and embrace discomfort as a path to growth. Rooted in breaking but always evolving, he continues to test himself across styles while inspiring the next generation of artists.
