JACOB LYONS

Jacob ‘Kujo’ Lyons didn’t intend to start out a career in dance. As an international b-boy, circus acrobat, and choreographer, it’s surprising to learn that his entire life path happened by accident. After a bit of bad teenage behavior landed him in a new school, a group of classmates he mistook for a gang ‘hit him up.’ Assuming they wanted to fight, Lyons was happy to discover they meant dance, and he agreed to give it a try….”*
