Ashwin, member of V.I.N.T.A.G.E Dance Cru.

"I am the manager of the group. At eighteen I was still living with my mother, in a small village outside the city. During my last year of high school I decided that I had to move, do something new. I have always been very involved with sports, and on Facebook I got to know Lee-che', who was doing dance. We decided to create a group inspired by Vogue, a dance style popularized in the 1980s. We met Manthe, who contributed the legendary and timeless fashion element we developed. This led to the ambitious idea of doing something unique and new, but also tied to the past. It may seem like a contradiction, but our idea is really to feww ourselves from groups that do only hip-hop or only street dance, and do things that are different." - Ashwin
