The Instructors
Bboy Decks
Taken by Daryl Tan Photos
My name is Dexter AKA Bboy Decks. I have been breaking since 2009, and I represent Cypher Crazed Crew / Leftside. After nine years, it was time for me to give back. I started teaching classes at Kulture Studios in 2018.
In the initial years of my dance journey I attended classes mostly by Bboy Felix, Bboy KH, and Bboy Charlie. I remember feeling a rush of excitement in my veins at every class, when my teachers equipped me with new moves or knowledge about the culture.
I want the new bboys and bgirls of this generation to have the same kind of learning opportunity I had. Whether you can/can’t do an airflare or six step, you are welcome. I teach beginner and intermediate levels of breaking.

“Dance is the freedom of expression, through the dance of hip-hop I am able to build myself. Bboy culture encourages a great deal of showmanship, a craft I have been building for a decade. I want to inspire others to have what I have, to build their confidence through creative and dynamic movements.” – Bboy Decks
Bboy Zazzles

Easy Sunday and Usual Suspects, Zahran is still actively involved with the b-boy scene
today.
Whether it is participating in competitions, teaching classes or emceeing and organising
events, he has gained valuable experience from the different aspects of the culture. Some
notable accomplishments include;
● Participating in competitions overseas (Wales, Perth and Malaysia)
● Winning two competitions in the individual and group category (The Breakdown Vol.
2, Central Beserk 2019)
● Organising “Elevate the Streets”
● Teaching dance classes at Boys Home, Boys Hostel (Trybe), Tanglin Trust Infant
School (Tutus & Tiaras) and Kulture Studios
● Appearing in the National Day 2018 music video and Lazada Commercial
Hoping to give back to the breaking community by imparting his knowledge and experience,
Zahran has now joined the ranks of the Leftside Sessions as an instructor.
