BGIRL DOGHAN

I started breaking at eight—with childhood handstands, splits, and meditation as my only foundation. Twenty years later, the floor is still where I go to feel real.

My enlightenment teacher was Bboy DD (陈迪明)—Skunk Crew founding member, now DJ D'Roc.

I chose the UK university I went to because Newcastle was the largest breaking city in Britain—Just Jam, UK Uni B-Boy Champs, all of it. On my first beginner class with Bboy Rukus, he told me to come back to intermediate.

Then I met Crazy Grandma—the world's oldest competing b-girl, 73 at the time, who had started dancing at 68. That meeting reset what I thought a dance lifetime could look like.

I'm a protégée of Bboy Lil Lowke (尧俊)—Red Bull BC One China Runner-up · China Youth Olympics breaking coach—and have trained intensively under him for nearly three years.
