Since 2004, breaker Ronnie Abaldonado has travelled around the world, battling, producing shows in his hometown, Las Vegas, running a hip-hop culture centre and being a Red Bull BC One All Star.
His crowning victory on the Red Bull BC One circuit came in 2007, when he took first place in Soweto, South Africa.
Ronnie is a member of two additional top crews, Full Force and Super Cr3w. The members of Full Force have been together for more than 12 years and are like blood brothers to Ronnie. The crew logo is a tree, symbolising a family whose roots continue to deepen as it grows. In 2008, enormous mainstream popularity came to Ronnie with Super Cr3w when they appeared on MTV and won the second season of America's Best Dance Crew.
His crews, as well as Jabbawockeez, with whom he often collaborates, inspire Ronnie. He explains: "You are who you hang out with. My style is greatly influenced by my friends who I train with."
In general, passionate people who do their best in any element inspire him. Musically, he finds more inspiration from soul and R 'n' B artists, including John Legend, Robin Thicke and Musiq Soulchild, as well as hip-hop artists like Common. Ronnie is a big fan of hip-hop, because he views it as a culture of self-expression. Ronnie loves to draw, and is attracted to most anything that enables him to creatively express his individuality.
Ronnie first learned about hip-hop culture in the mid 1980s, and was fascinated with hip-hop cult classic movies like Wild Style and Beat Street. While still living in Guam, he saw B-Boying performed live. After his family relocated to California, he began dancing in what he calls the new jack swing era of the early 90s.
When asked what is most important for him to do in a battle, he answers the obvious: "To win every round." He is mindful to give his competitors space when they are dancing, not to be disrespectful and not to touch his opponents. It is essential to Ronnie that he remains true to himself, doing what he does best in the best possible way he can.
