Freeze was founded in 2009 when the Indian breaking scene was still in its infancy. Freeze started out as small initiative by Black Ice Crew to bring dancers, young and old from across the country under one roof.
Check out last year's moves:
Storm started Breaking in 1983 at the age of 14. Within a decade his name was known all over the world. WIth his crew "Battle Squad" he won the first two international "Battle of the year" which became the blueprint for all subsequent battle events.

In 1996 he debuted a piece called "Funky town" with his own dance company in Berlin which was called "The Storm and Jazzy Project".
Today Storm is mainly known for being a pioneer in his merit. Besides learning and representing the dance forms of "B-Boying, Popping and Locking" all over the world he took part of many other projects that changed the paradigms of urban culture and society as a whole.
