B-Boy Remind Interview | Rep Ur Tribe

Join us as we sit down with legendary Ariston Ripoyla, aka “B-Boy (B-Star) Remind” in his hometown of Stockton, CA where we discuss the parallels of hip hop and tribal ways, what happened when he became activated through hip hop, becoming one with the music, and his love of spreading the knowledge of health, wealth, good medicine, and the sacred dance style known as B-Boying that he believes can greatly help your mental, physical, and spiritual well being.
Ariston Ripoyla aka “Remind” is an internationally recognized B-Boy and practitioner of hip hop culture for over 30 years. His unique dance style, spirit, message, and representation of freedom has made him one of the most well known B-Boy’s and practitioner’s in the world. Born and raised in Stockton, California, a unique mix of dance styles including House, Popping Locking, Breaking and Freestyle is what makes Remind stand out from the rest. Remind has collected a countless string of prestigious victories and titles, including being a recipient of the legendary Spy Award, the most prestigious award in Hip Hop Dance. His incorporation of freestyle and house into his breaking has had a major impact on a whole generation of dancers who began to similarly incorporate different styles into their moves. He has also innovated a style and series of techniques that have been taken up by B-Boys and B-Girls around the world.
