First off, I want to send my prayers to the friends and families of the 32 murdered victims at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Times like these remind us it only takes one individual to change the lives of many.
MVExposé: Mars
Often seen as shy and modest, bgirl Mars will throw any audience off guard with her talent and skill in dancing. Growing up with a love for the art of dance she took ballet, jazz and tap dance lessons. Mars discovered breakdancing during her years at the University of Toronto when she met a bboy on campus.
“He told me he could teach me some basics. From then, I started attending local practices and going to battles as well as going to various bboy nights around the city.”
Mars continued dancing inspired by other bboys who dedicated their lives to hip-hop and breaking and received very little financial support in return. At most battles, you can always catch Mars on the floor, however in reality she admits she is often reluctant to enter. In the end, no matter the outcome, she leaves every battle with a positive attitude.
“Even if you lose your battle you have gained so much just by doing it.”
Mars’ presence elevates the crowd with her fun-loving personality. Her source of energy comes beyond her love for breaking but her love for all types of dance.
“I love the complete freedom of dancing, how music, a certain song or beat, can just instinctively make you move your body. You can never learn everything in this dance - it is always changing and developing and that is what makes it so addictive.”
