You should take the subway just for the small chance you may catch this charismatic trio swinging from the bars of a car. These kids take the art of street performance to a whole new gravity-denying level. They’re good, stunningly good, and their dedication to their craft is as apparent in their smiles as it is in their choreography.
“When I’m dancing I feel powerful. I feel like I’m free. The sky’s the limit.”
For Tyty, Ted, and Kahlil street dancing is not only how they earn their bread but is also a vital part of their life. It was through movement that Tyty finally broke out of his quiet shell and became confident.
Their philosophy is that it doesn’t matter your history or the daily struggles you deal with. What is most important is the attitude you bring when you show up to work and fine-tune your skill, and the rest will fall into place.
Kahlil, the youngest, says, “Some people like to pick on small people. They don’t know that every small person has something big in them.”
Watch the magic happen:
