It all started in 1997 with a chance meeting of two strangers looking for a job in Germany. One was a singer who needed dancers for her show, and I was just transitioning from the military and dancing happened to be another lifelong dream of mine. I got introduced to a couple of guys who also danced and we pulled together some other people we knew. We did two shows with her before she stopped pursuing her journey, but we decided to continue just as a dance crew. And thus, the Total Impact dance crew was born! We were successful at getting paid gigs, but most importantly, we learned the process of building from the ground up and being self sufficient! We also created life long memories and friendships!
