About The Instructor:
Dre Live Borders was born and raised in Akron Ohio. In 1979 Dre started to become interested in dances like the boogaloo and popping. In 1982 he saw BBoy Steve Lockett and was fascinated by the karate like moves on the sidewalk. Dre spring boarded to the top of the scene. In the early 90’s in Akron Ohio, Dre Live Borders and BBoy DJ Forrest GetemGump cofounded legendary BBoy crew Illstyle Rockers . It became one of the most influential hip hop movements in the Midwest. Illstyle was the cornerstone for Ohio hip hop. The international crew, Zulu Kings, of which half the members are from Ohio, learned from Dre and Forest. They got their polish, philosophy, style, structure, foundation, and change adaption from Dre and Forrest. Illstyle made endless appearances at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland as educators of The Culture, doing shows with LL Cool J, as well as being part of Zulu Nation and Rock Steady Crew anniversary parties.
