Stephen 'tWitch' Boss
His nickname, ‘tWitch’, was given to him because he would dance, or what’s called ‘pop and tick’(dance moves that can be categorized in the hip hop genre), pretty much anywhere. When he was at places like church or stores, where he couldn’t really ‘get up and dance’, he would just pop or tick, and to the naked eye, it looked like a twitch. He has a true passion for dance, and wants the world to see dance through his eyes. He also wants to use his talents to bring awareness to causes that are near and dear to his heart.. Learn More...
