“I started dancing when I was a little kid because I grew up in a Hawaiian culture. I danced when I was in 3rd grade but stopped because I wasn’t good,” said Jacob “Nalu” Bauman. “Then in sophomore year I picked up dancing again when I saw the Jabbawockeez perform on MTV, got more into it in junior year and it wasn’t until senior year that I knew dancing was my passion.”
“Most of the dances I know, I’ve taught myself. The style of dance I prefer is Pop and Lock because there’s so much body control you must do and because you can make your body look unreal. I like being surprising. In the future, I see myself on the stage of World of Dance because it’s one of the best dancing competitions. That’s the place where I want to get as a dancer. Win and get recognized more”.
