Victor Montalvo aka Victor

Victor Montalvo, from Orlando, Florida, was crowned the winner of the Red Bull BC One Orlando Cypher 2013 and the winner of the Red Bull BC One North America Final 2014. He describes his style as fun, free, and energetic. He combines what he calls “blow-ups” and “POW” moves to create a wow factor in his dances. Victor grew up around B-Boying, and looking up to his father who encouraged his pursuit of the art, he started dancing at the age of 11. He is inspired by the old and new generation of B-Boys. Victor typically executes little, planned moves to start off with, then breaks into a larger, more eventful freestyle dance for the rest of his battle. Although Victor does not practice any other elements of Hip Hop, he wants to break into all the segments, especially popping and graffiti. Victor comes from a Mexican background, where his family supports and loves his interest in B-Boying. The Orlando scene acts as his close family as well. Victor would love to continue to b-boy to make a living. Right now, he works part-time at Street Breaks in Orlando. To him, a good dancer should, "be humble, always keep learning and always think like a a student. There's no room for jealousy, or ego," he says. "Just do and worry about you. Be positive." Victor's greatest accomplishment as a dancer is to have twice won a Red Bull BC One North American Final.
