Alex “Prince Ali” Flores was born and raised in the city of San Jose, CA. His love for music and dance lead him to discover the artistic expression of “hip hop” during his early teenage years. In 2005, he began his journey with “popping”, a dance style created in California with roots tracing back to 1960’s Oakland, CA with a style called “boogaloo”.
Since then he has been given the chance to represent alongside some of the longest running dance crews in the Bay Area: Playboyz Inc (est. 1981) and Renegade Rockers (est. 1983). Ali competes, performs, and teaches in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. His travels have led him to U.S. hot spots such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and even overseas to London, England.
