The Almighty Midus

With all the talent in the world, I sometimes like to draw attention to our home grown stars. Armenian individuals around the world are excelling in so many industries and arts, and this one deserves some attention. Serouj Aprahamian has made a name for himself in the Breakdancing world... Midus. I guess you could call it his stage name.

In such a unique form of expression, Midus has defined his own style of dancing that has demanding the respect of his peers. He grew up in LA, but recently moved to Washington, DC for a masters program at American University. We attended the Breakin for Birney charity event where Serouj was initially unknown. But wherever he goes, he identifies himself on the floor. Once he started to move, fellow breakers knew immediately who he was through his widely distributed video "Detours" (www.detoursvideo.com).

Photos are nice, but they don't do justice to the evident talent. You can see the rest at www.digitalrailroad.net/arsineh. I hope more people have a chance to see him work the floor some day. His Detours video is available for purchase at www.detoursvideo.com. Here are some photos...
