Hip Hop
Peter (P-Boogie) Reynolds Jr, was born in Hartford, CT. During his late youth and teens he moved to West Hartford as well as Bloomfield where he attended both Conard & Bloomfield High school and shortly after graduating moved back to Hartford, where he now lives currently.
Peter (P-Boogie) starting dancing of course like most people, after watching and following videos of “Michael Jackson” over and over. But, it was in 2000 when he entered his first talent show at Conard High and met another local dancer by the name of “Popkorn” and the two of them began a close relationship totally based from dance . That same year he was introduced to a mentor of his by the name of “Trac 2” who’s a Legendary Bboy, as well as, one of the original “Bboys” from the South Bronx, New York.
After meeting the two legends, Peter not only learned about the history of Connecticut’s Hip-Hop scene and culture through the “School of Hardknocks” but, he retained and over studied everything about the Hip-Hop culture and history through battles, lectures, and community performances in and out of the Tri-State area while being mentored by “Trac 2”.
Since then, he has taught foundations/technique in dance styles such as: Roboting, Locking, Popping and Hip-Hop (old/new) for the past 20 years in CT.
Peter (P-Boogie) is Co-Founder of Studio-8-Sixty located in Bloomfield , CT, Co-Founder of Village of Poppers(New England Dance Crew), an Independent dance instructor at the “Artist Collective”, “Charter Oak Culture Center”, and the “Hartt School” all located in the city of Hartford.
Peter is also one of the original principal dancers of the first “Hip-Hop” Dance
Company in CT, “EQuilibrium Dance Theatre” since 2009. In his career he has gone on to perform with and opened up for artist such as: Busta Rhymes, KRS-ONE, Black Eye Peas, The Doug Elkins Dance Company (Fraulein Maria), Suga
Pop (Electric Boogaloos). He was also awarded the “Dedication & Commitment” award by Zulu Nation 860 in 2013 for his teaching, dedication, and giving back to the community through “Popping”. Peter (P-Boogie) Reynolds plans on continuing to reach and teach individuals through dance, lectures, performances and being a positive role model in and out of the Hartford community.
