Skeeter Rabbit (1969 - 2006)
Born Steven Nichols, Skeet started dancing as a young kid in the streets of LA. He began locking first and soon after started popping with his cousins Boogaloo Sam and Poppin Pete around 1978.  In 1979 Skeet became an official member of the EB's and has gone on to become a pioneer and innovator of the dance styles popping and boogaloo.

On Friday, May 12th, 2006, Skeeter Rabbit passed on to the afterlife. However, in his lifetime he was loved by many and was an inspiration to many more. He has impacted dancers and dance lovers all over the world, by teaching and expressing the true foundation of hip hop dance through his movements.

Aaliyah Dana Haughton (1979-2001)
As an actress, dancer and singer, Aaliyah has paved way for many aspiring entertainers. An inspiration to many, Aaliyah danced to complex choreography flawlessly, breaking barriers in traditional R&B music videos. The style of videography has been cloned by many artists to date.

On August 25th, 2001, Aaliyah crossed over to watch over the souls of us all. Her tenacious beauty was matched by a spirit that was almost surreal to many. Accomplishing so much by the age of 22, the world was just beginning to see her grow. Her style and grace are missed by many all over the world.
