DJUNGLE
Originally from Montreal, artist Delande “Djungle” Dorsaint is a professional dancer with the Or Pur and Ebnfloh companies. Having explored several different styles, Djungle specializes in House and Hip Hop. Their skills have allowed them to participate in festivals such as Just for Laughs, Breaking Convention, 100Lux, World of Dance Qualifier, Danser pour gagner, and many more. Djungle has also worked with prominent choreographers in the field, including Cindy McAuliffe, director of the Or Pur company and the Urban Element Zone studio, Andy Michel, Handy Yacinte, Alexandra "Spicey" Lande and Angelique Wilkien.
For Djungle, dance represents much more than a hobby or a field in which they excel; it has become a way of life with which they continuously grow. In a quest for infinite fulfillment, the street dance culture allows them to maintain the integrity of their person and their dance within themselves.
Djungle will judge the House category.
DJ B Bad
DJ B Bad began his journey as a DJ when he changed his path from being a bboy on July 1, 2010, when he moved into a new place called ‘The Chocolate Factory’. The turntables were the first things to be set up and there was no turning back from there. With his experience as a bboy from 1999, B Bad always had a love for music, and it showed through his dance at competitions and various performances.
Also, while attending many events and parties in the Toronto area hosted by world-renowned DJs, B Bad was able to piece together a formula that would move crowds, whether it’s a breaking cypher, a house party with close friends, a nightclub on a Saturday night, or even a company’s holiday party.
