Acea Spades joined our breaking 101 classes at 5-years-old. Now 11, Spades is competing in breaking battles all over the region.

He’s has found an international community among breakers young and old. His growth as a B-Boy has also translated into his development as a leader.

He helps teach newer breakers coming into All of the Above HipHop Academy and serves as a source of inspiration to them.

We are proud of Spades as he models the benefits of having access to positive communities in hip-hop culture. |THIS
