''Rashaad Pearson'' represents Assassins DC and Urban Artistry. Rashaad a.k.a. Time Machine is born and raised in Harlem/Queens New York City, Rashaad Hasani Pearson grew up watching many urban dance forms in music videos, his neighborhood and at family parties. Through his parents he would listen to a variety of music. His interest in music would lead him to singing in choirs from elementary school to high school. During his childhood music and dance was a thing to do culturally but not a conscious education being taught to each other.When he moved to the Washington D.C. Metro area in 2003, he would find a community of local artist and practicing crews who would meet to session at the DC/Baltimore PopShop. This was the second phase of education in Urban Dance guided by members of The Boogie Knightz a local Popping and Locking crew who we later became a member of. In 2005 Rashaad’s focus shifted to a wider understanding when he would meet his mentor Junious “House” Brickhouse who shared his life long experiences with the urban dance community and the importance of preserving culture, thinking smarter, teamwork and being a fearless artist driven by pushing the envelope through courageous steps of trying new things. With Junious’s guidance Rashaad learned rapidly, picking up history of styles and how to apply them, the importance of honoring the cultures of various communities, to be selfless and give back the same way he had received information and just to be good to people. Rashaad would move on to become a member of The Assassins - Warriors of Light and Lead Artistic Director of Urban Artistry. Rashaad serves as an ambassador to his community, a father, traditionalist, innovator, mentee, mentor and educator. Hope to see you at the Bootcamp!
