Maxim Gautsel

Born and raised in Ukraine, Maxim has been a dancer for 20 years. Focused on breakin', he performed with the Theater of Extreme Dance, travelling throughout Ukraine: from KHATOB in Kharkiv to Lviv, from KZ Ukrai in Kyiv to the Yalta intourist hotel. He was also a semi-finalist of Ukraine's Got Talent. Maxim taught breakin' and modern dance professionally at KhDAFK and Gymnasium 172 and other secondary schools, and in 2015, he moved to Antalya and created the Phoenix Squad Antalya band. He's judged battles including Final jam, Zirka Antalya, Bgirl Antalya and believes breakin' is not only a dance, but an opportunity to build friendships, stay healthy and exercise your brain, which can help you in the rest of your life.
