BZ Community Class - Chris Bitun & Tuan Duong - Groups

MEET CHRIS BITUN

Chris Bitun began dancing at the young age of 8 while he was still living in the Philippines. He came to the US in 2001, and along with a good friend, co-founded a dance organization at their high school (El Toro HS Dance Club)as well as their own all-male dance group (Surreal)consisting of close friends. Since Chris stepped into the So-Cal dance community, he has participated and performed in various groups such as Velocity Dance Troupe, UYA, Common Ground, and Breed OCLA. He credits John Nasteff (Velocity's director) as his biggest influence in the development of his own style and choreography. Chris has also been asked to choreograph by several outside dance organizations ranging from Vegas to San Diego. Best known for his "Aaliyah piece" in Common Ground's "Tribute Set", his choreo style can be described as fluid, isolated, and smooth. Currently Artistic Director of Common Ground, Chris has been able to develop and strengthen his style as well as draw influences from other styles to make his choreo even more unique. So if you're yearning for some feel-good choreo, this is most definitely the class you do NOT want to miss!

MEET TUAN DUONG

Hailing from Hue, Vietnam, Tuan Duong came to the US at the age of 7. A rambunctious and energetic child, he finally found a place to put all his energy when he began dancing hip-hop during high school. Tuan had been a part of the junior team Velocity Dance Troupe, and from participating in such practices and performances his eyes were opened to the OC dance community, and he wished to open up this world to others; so he along with his younger brother Shawn and good friend Chris Bitun founded a student run dance organization at their school called "El Toro Dance Club" and their own all-male group Surreal Dance Crew. After high school, Tuan thrust himself into the collegiate/street dance scene, where he met and became part of the Common Ground family since its beginning in late 2004. Currently at the age of 22, he choreographs and is one of the main audio engineers for Common Ground, UnderGround, and Surreal. Within the past few years, he has also been fortunate enough to train with Mavyn Ent. and be a part of Funkanometry San Diego. In Fall of 07, Tuan, Chris, and Shawn created a project and participated in their first competition at Maxt Out Chor, where they ended up placing second in the choreography division. Now, Tuan's distinct high-energy, sharp, yet groovy and fun style is becoming more and more recognized in the community, so come be a part of it!
