Today we’d like to introduce you to Jimbo Limpin.
Jimbo, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started dancing in middle school, and it wasn’t breaking. When I first started dancing, it was more for family parties, and I had a friend that would teach my brother, sister, and a few friends choreographed pieces. During this time I never really liked dancing because I was shy and quiet. Once I became exposed to breakdancing, it started off as me wanting to learn one thing. I wanted to learn windmills, and once I got them, I wanted to learn more and more. Now, all I do is work, dance, battle at competitions, and try to shoot videos. This is just a very short summary of how I started.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it wasn’t a smooth road. Some struggles include parents not wanting dance to “take over my life,” injuries, having to learn on my own, and being so busy that I wasn’t able to practice.
Please tell us about your work.
I’m a breakdancer, who is trying to work hard and save money so I can travel and compete at high levels. Breakdancing has its foundation and fundamentals, but, it allows for so much creativity at the same time. What sets me apart is that I dance different, and my moves are different.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
Being in the Philippines with my siblings and cousins on new years. Everyone’s outside just having a good time, and we were playing with the fireworks on the streets.
