Yoshi first became interested in dancing during a family vacation to San Fransisco when he was 13 years old. They stopped to watch a group of break dancers on the street and Yoshi was immediately hooked on the moves and the energy. Returning home, he began searching for videos on the Internet and learning from every source he could find. By the time he entered middle school, he had formed a group of friends who practiced every day in his garage and performed their routines at school events and assemblies. They called themselves Art of Movement.
