#StepBack Ynot (RSC) | Interview & Workshop | Dennis Infante's AllStyles Jam | #SXSTV
Our Step x Step Bay Area journalist, Suiber Jin, caught up with Rock Steady Crew member, Ynot, at his workshop in San Francisco. Ynot was in town for Dennis Infante's Mighty All Styles Jam.
Ynot is one of the freshest cats in the game with years of experience not just as a bboy but respecting the other styles of street dance and elements of Hip Hop Culture. You will also see footage of Ynot's workshop where he goes through foundations of rocking and top rocks.
