RUGGEDSPORTRAIT.jpg

Hi, This is Roy Overdijk.

I was born in Woensel, Eindhoven.

I started dancing because of my family's way of celebrating birthdays and the constant presence of motown music at my parents house.

After just moving around as a toddler on get togethers i played Bust a groove a lot on the playstation and this led to my interest in dance.

Virgil told me there was a break class in our street and that's where i met Jessy and the rest.

After meeting everyone in that open practice on saturday I had to choose between playing in the first selection of my soccer team or pushing break.

Kinda broke my father's heart with my choice but it pushed me to really focus on break and my creative outlet.

Since I already knew everyone since we were young it made perfect sense to add me to the crew after I became better and found my way of moving.

My contribution to crew lays in building bridges between people and ideas.

Always finding solutions and connecting dots to create new concepts and movement which we use in our shows and videos.

Besides creativity and sharpness I kind off fulfill the roll of the crew's mom in a way, always prepared for any situation, reminding people not to forget stuff and knowing what everyone could like or think of at any given time.

Something I’m afraid of..

Losing my close ones and not knowing what's under me in the ocean.

My everyday mood..
