Crumbs (USA)
Donnie “Crumbs” Counts is a multiple time world Bboy champion and a member of one of the most influential Breaking crews in Hip Hop history “Style Elements Crew.” Crumbs has always had a complex unorthodox approach to the art of Breaking. He is best known for his creative moves, flow, intricate thread combinations, unique blow ups and power style. He also innovated a now popular style in Breaking called Stacking. Overall he has prided himself on always being original and as well rounded as possible in the dance.
Crumbs has consistently attacked both the underground and commercial worlds. His dedication and persistence in the dance has led him to choreograph for some of the biggest names in the business such as Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot, Black Eyed Peas, and Christina Aguilera to name a few. He has been a featured choreographer and dancer in major dance motion pictures, You Got Served, Step Up 2, Battle Of The Year and How She Move. Some commercials include McDonalds, Coke, Apple, Volkswagen and Toyota. Crumbs is also a main character in Sony PlayStation’s video game entitled, Bboy.
In Crumbs’ career, he has accumulated over 100 1st place titles in some of the biggest national and international competitions by age 25. Those titles being both solo and crew competitions combined. Some notable title mentions are Freestyle Session - 6 times, RadioTron - 2 times and Battle of the Year with Crumbs also taking Best Dancer honors at that event. He is also a recipient of the prestigious Spy Award and has been awarded Most Creative Bboy and Best Crew at the Hip Hop Dance Awards. But for him it’s not all about the world titles and awards. It’s more about the journey, lifestyle, tests and experiences. Today he continues touring world wide to teach, compete, perform and judge events.
