Krump with Brette!
Dressed up as a yellow m&m, I stood next to a krumping vampire at the Neewollah (Halloween spelled backwards) party on campus. She was teaching me the basics before I went up on the catwalk, with my other candied friends, and krumped to Lil John. Twist one arm forward, now the next one, bend down, and all this other sheesh. I got up on the catwalk and just began to spring up and down. I obviously should have met Brette sooner.
Brette Seffens, the krumping vampire, is a teacher at Sonia’s World of Dance on Westheimer and also at Soundbox Studios. ”I create happy feet and teach people how to listen to the music and let their inner rhythm come out in expression and movement. I entertain and portray music. I am a hiphop dancer.” Brette began dancing at the age of fourteen and became sufficient in street jazz, pop n’ lock, and belly dancing. The passionate dancer dedicates at least two days out of the week to teach all ages different forms of dance but mainly hiphop. “I am supporting the arts and encouraging ways to build self-esteem and a sense of community through music and dance.” Brette also eats straight up cilantro and lots of it and drinks that almond milk. Girl be living at Whole foods, that’s where you can usually find her. That one off of Kirby and Alabama.
She currently resides in Memorial and is full-time at UST majoring in business and minoring in philosophy. She regularly competes in dance competitions and partakes in recitals. Her ability to manage teaching, learning, and performing is remarkable.
