Dear Mariano, Rosh & Wellesley,
On behalf of Iroquois Ridge High School and the entire Oakville community I would like to thank you for your energetic performance at our Relay for Life event on Friday June 15, 2007.
Your routine was absolutely electric! The students, staff and community members in attendance were left in awe and wanting more after your first routine. Your willingness to come back up on stage and freestyle for the crowd was amazing! Your energy, enthusiasm and skill were exactly what the Relay needed to keep the tempo up in the late hours of the night!
Thanks to your UNREAL performance you inspired a lot of energy in students and got them attempting to do similar moves while keeping them walking the track for the cause!
You can be absolutely sure that in any future event Iroquois Ridge plans you guys will be top priority!
Amazing attitude, incredible skill, unbeliavable routine! The only word the Ridge could find to describe it "UNREAL"!
We'll see you guys soon!
Sincerely,
Adam Mitchell

"If you want to break with the best check out the ABScrew. While
on holidays with my family I saw them perform at the Halifax harbourfest
this summer. It was a sold out crowd. They were electrifying...set everyone
in motion! A few of us signed up for classes in Toronto. They are teaching
us the break moves and how to build muscle for dance. The training involves
a combination of gymnastics and dance. I've noticed a real improvement
in my core strength and flexibility. These folks are serious about their
groove. They came and performed at The Canadian College of Naturopathic
Medicine. ~200 students and staff turned out. Their performance was an
awe inspiring, anti-gravity, crowd rocking event! The room was pulsing!...people
whistling, cheering, clapping, and dancing. Thanks ABScrew for the great
entertainment!! A lot of students and staff were impressed and inspired.
They want ABSrew to teach b-dance classes at the college.
Rosh
and Wellesley are an inseparable team:
Rosh: Combines stamina with insane flexibility. The guy can drive any
move, defying laws of gravity and range of motion . He's creative, spontaneous
and mostly airborne in performance. Truly awe- inspiring!
Wellesley: Is sheer power and charisma. He brings attitude and impressive
footwork . Mr.. personality pumps with vocals and strong acrobatic moves.
The two like to battle it out for crowd appeal. They put on a show that's
a pleasure to watch ."
On behalf of the students and staff at CCNM we want to thank you for coming
out and performing at our college!

I
wanted to express my sincere thanks to you for the incredible week long
camp you put on in my community. My studio has never done a camp like
this, and we are very focused on bringing your group in many more times
in the future because it was such a rewarding experience. I wanted to
comment specifically on why I thought the camp went so well. Many factors
contributed to the success of the program including your general skills
as b-boys, your positive attitudes, your sense of humor, and your focus
on the development of the children and teens.
Mariano,
your musicality is incredible and your top-rock, locking, and floor work
clearly reflect your love of music. It is easy to watch you dance, and
because of your smooth style, you inadvertently inspired our young b-boys/girls
to develop musically as well. Your focus on the students’ performance
quality, helped encourage many “shy” dancers to let it all
out. By the end of the week I felt there was a new and very improved group
of young dancers in the studio. I have to mention your popping because
it is amazing how your body can perform such optical illusions. It is
ingenious the way you use your sense of humor combined with your popping
skills to captivate an audience…. and educate young b-boy/girl students.
You are a brilliant and diverse break-dance artist, I can’t wait
to see what’s next in the Mariano b-boy portfolio.
Roshan,
your physical abilities are incredible, one of our students said that
watching you was like watching fire works because the whole room just
oohs and Ahs at everything you do. I am incredibly impressed by the way
you use your knowledge of traditional gymnastics training in order to
teach b-boy moves. I like that you can breakdown moves to the absolute
basics, and then develop specific training methods relative only to B-boying.
This was like having insurance, you were very aware of having the kids
work safely, I appreciate that – the parents appreciate that. There
are not too many people around with those skills, I feel incredibly fortunate
to have had you take part in the dance education of my students. Your
focus on conditioning, stretching and strength training helped change
the attitude of many of my students. Because you are such an excellent
role model, some students have already begun a regiment of strength and
flexibility exercises. It won’t be long before they see concrete
results from their efforts.
Troy,
your unique dance style blows me away. The fact that you developed a new
and interesting way of b-boying is testament to your genius as a performer.
Your use of comic book characters makes everything you do entertaining,
and the kids in the camp think of you as a real life hero. Your teaching
techniques are clearly developed, specifically the emphasis you put on
creativity. You run a class like a veteran teacher, you see the importance
of individuality and you really focus on bringing that out of the students.
Your energy is very inspiring, your abilities are impressive, and your
comical demeanor is irresistible. The kids are still quoting you.
ABS,
your b-boy skills were so spectacular, that often the participants were
left gaping in awe at your tremendous performances. The diverse background
of your instructors helped provide a rich environment for learning. Your
positive attitudes and excellent comedic timing helped maintain a fun
and happy atmosphere. All of the members of your crew were conscious of
setting a good example for the children and teens, and you were all excellent
role models for the breakdance camp participants.
Thank
you so much for making our studio a cool place to be this summer, you
guys totally rock!!!! I am working on ideas for the next camp and counting
the days until you return.
Sincerely
and with Adoration
Your new friend,
