Introducin de Cru

JFlo (aka Jennifer O’Brien)
JFlo’s hilarious sense of humour and fierce attitude make her a firecracker in the cypher. Always on beat, her top rock flows and her crazy energy gets the crowd hype.  Schooling people on and off the dancefloor, JFlo’s experience teaching DeCypher’s “Building Confidence through Dance” inspired her to study teaching as a profession.  

 Lock Ness (aka Vanessa Gamble)
Lock Ness is the clown in the group, which might explain her infectiously happy dance style and her love of Locking (bboying’s silly street dance cousin).  Known for her funky fresh top rock, Lock Ness is also a yoga instructor, a bike courier and a Psychology student who’s passionate about using movement and dance to help people overcome life challenges.

Nomadik (aka Myra Burrell)
Nomadik’s bgirl style is on-point, but it’s the goofy edge to her performance and her background in improve that make her such a crowd pleaser. Wandering between the urban and rural worlds, her love of nature and biology have taken her as far away as the wilds of Ecuador and the Arctic, but her love of bgirlin’ always brings her back to the city.

Sabre Tooth (aka Sabra Ripley)
World traveller, actor, promoter and event coordinator, Sabre Tooth’s performance style is in your face. Her bgirlin’ reflects her high energy personality – mixing solid freeze combos with top rock influenced by Latin American, Caribbean and Middle Eastern dance styles.  She also spins fire poi, studies capoeira and is the coordinator for the House of PainT Hip Hop festival.

Tangent (aka Sarah Lee)
Working in architecture and design this bgirl’s style is smooth and surprising, going off on creative tangents, like her name implies.  Her background in sports and kung fu give her the strength and flexibility to pull off the crazy footwork she’s known for and a love of house dancing influences her top rock.  Tangent’s design style gives a fresh look to DeCypher Cru promo material and gear.

MissChief (aka Melissa Estable)
Now living in B.C., MissChief brings phresh westcoast styles to the mix.  Travel, collaboration, performance, busking and freestylin’ continually inspire her eclectic style, and confirm her driving philosophy that dance is spiritually uplifting and physically healing – a reminder that we experience through our senses and that rhythm is life.
