Bboy Kapu Biography, Life Story, Breaking Journey, and Facts:

Bboy Kapu also known as Ronielson da Silva Araujo hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He started his breaking journey in 2002 when he saw a breaking performance in his school and was totally impressed. He could easily relate because of his roots in capoeira and gymnastics and he absolutely loved the dance aspect that breaking integrated into the base knowledge he already owned. 

He was eager to learn and started practising with the friends in his neighbourhood. He is a great power mover, but this fresh talent impresses judges and the audience alike with its complexity. Coming from a background in capoeira, he integrates that know-how into his dance.

He has an extremely acrobatic style and wows anyone who watches him with double somersaults and double back-flips. He has a strong personality, is extremely confident and is a fearless fighter. A Bboy from Bélen gave him his stage name. One day while he was dancing without shoes, the influence of capoeira showed so strongly in his toprock that the name “Kapu” was born.

His family didn’t back up his dance ambitions in the beginning, but when they saw him in a TV show, they changed their minds. Today, even though he has hardly ever left the country, he manages to make a living through dance. He gives workshops, judges championships and makes some money competing and performing. He is also part of Paris Olympic Qualifiers 2024 with 134th ranking and have 280 breaking points
