Introduce yourself to our readers
My name is Lego Sam, I was born in 1995 which makes me 20 years old this year. Being a full-time dancer means I spend most of my time training for shows and competitions. I judge competitions too!
How did you start dancing/B-Boying?
Actually my interest in dancing sparked when I was very young. I used to watch the TV and I was inspired by traditional African dances which consists of lots of jumping movements which I would practice a lot at home. Up to when I was 13, I heard that my friend was attending dancing classes in a more serious way, which led me to join him.
Biggest achievement so far that you’re most proud of?
Winning Red Bull BC One this year would be my proudest moment because I’ve been wanting this for as long as I could remember. Red Bull BC One has got to be every B-Boy’s dream to win.
Other than dancing, what are your other interests?
I collect Stüssy! I’m a die hard fan of Stüssy actually. But to be honest, I dedicate most of my time to training because my profession requires it.
What do you wish someone had told you when you were younger as an inspiring dancer?
If you want to really do something like dancing, you just have to keep going. Don’t think about the negative side. Just be yourself and set a target to reach and work hard towards it.
