BIOGRAPHY
As a choreographer, teacher, and dancer, Esosa Oviasu was largely self-taught in Popping and Breaking by 2007. It wasn't until the following year, that he moved back to New York City and began to formally train in these styles, under legends such as Jazzy J and Boogaloo Kin.
Esosa was first introduced to Urban Choreography by New York's Raw Elementz Dance Troupe. Since then, he has trained under teachers such as Carlos Neto, Luam Keflezgy, Derek Mitchell, and taken various workshops of diverse disciplines throughout the New York area.
He is currently the Artistic and Executive Director of his dance team, The Neighbors. He is also a member of EPIC Motion Dance Company, with whom he aims to broaden his dance vocabulary as well as his range of style.
