    Kept going.

    Moose found dance late, while working full time as a researcher at Hong Kong Baptist University. Four years later, krump is how he sees the world: a session circle in Manila, a stage in Seoul, a park at night in Buenos Aires.

    His krump runs on character. Inside one short round he can be playful, delighted, heartbroken and furious, then hit with sudden, full-body power. Every round carries material and a story. Swing dance turns up now and then too.

    It began with a few events run by the Baptist University Dance Association (BUDA), where he got his first taste of freestyle and walked away as freestyle and crew battle champion of BUDA’s inner-school event, CP. Work didn’t leave room for choreography, so he went all in on krump instead. Two or three months later he was Top 16 at Starter of Krump vol. 1.

    1. First taste of street dance, with the MADAN freshmen.

    2. Meets krump for the first time at BUDA CP training.

    4. First battle ever. Top 16 at Starter of Krump vol. 1.

      He never chased records. These are the battles that meant something, in krump and well outside it.

      Slower, not stopped

      In 2026 a herniated disc at L4, L5 and S1 took Moose out of competitive battles.

      He’s recovering, and dancing again: slowly, but truly. The power is still in there. It just arrives with more restraint now, and the small, subtle moments carry more of the story. He always loved sessions more than battles anyway, and the sessions haven’t stopped. Mumbai, November 2026, is proof.

      Red Bull Tetris, Hong Kong

      November 2025. Moose qualified for the Hong Kong final through the public prelims with a top 3 result. Not much time on a controller before the final, so he finished Top 8, face to face on stage at TOP in Mong Kok.
