The Floorriorz Facts:

Floorriorz is a breaking crew from Tokyo, Japan. It was formed by Bboy Nori in 2010 because all the members were competitive and dreamt of winning the world championship.

Initially, they started dancing out of interest, but as they grew older, they felt the need for additional income to support themselves.

However, if they followed the typical Japanese office job, they wouldn’t have time for dancing. So, they decided to become full-time dancers and B-boys, focusing on dance and hip-hop as their way of life.

They have become legendary for winning three consecutive championships at the world-breaking competition “Battle of the Year”.

The crew is currently led by Bboy Taisuke, who is already well-known in the global B-boy community.

Their motto is to preserve the B-boy foundation and tradition while pushing it to new heights.

They are known for their music, precise footwork, and powerful moves that showcase each member’s unique style. In recent years, The Floorriorz have been actively involved in training the next generation and creating successors. They have started “The Floorriorz Academy” with a focus on nurturing and developing young talent.
