Rain StormHello Project Shimmy crew. They call me Rainstorm, Rain for short. Proud student of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. I am a Bboy with a style I like to call Big Beats, because my choreography style consists of a lot of action to heavy bass and fast pace. Standing at a magnificent 5 foot 4 inches I tower over most...umm...small children...But hey, I'm a Bboy, we're not supposed to be huge, lol. I dance for Couture Productions at A&T, the greatest organization at the school might I add. The dance sector of Couture productions includes a variety of dancers and dance styles from jazz, ballet, modern, contemporary, and the great styles of hip hop, where I make my home. We mix our styles up and perform with great variety for maximum entertainment. So, just sit back and enjoy the show.
