Ladies! Check out this cool commercial featuring Asian B-boy Chuck Maa of America’s Best Dance Crew “Instant Noodles” fame!
Chuck was born in Atlanta, Georgia and spent the first 9 years of his life there before moving to Taipei, Taiwan. After spending another 3 years in a few local Taiwanese schools, Chuck transferred to TAS (Taipei American School) in 7th grade.
Chuck began dance by experimenting with popping before shifting his focus to bboying a year later. His love for dance and performance inspired him to participate in dance classes and theatre classes offered at TAS which later lead to his enrollment in the IB dance program and IASAS modern dance troupe, and subsequent appearances in a few high school musicals. After graduation from high school Chuck enrolled along side fellow crew member Robert Tsai at Chapman University where he majored in dance and received the bulk of his classical training. Chuck performed in multiple dance concerts held at Chapman and was privileged enough to have some of his choreography showcased in these concerts as well.
After receiving his diploma from Chapman, Chuck moved to Hollywood where he continues topursue his career as a dancer in the commercial dance industry. Instant Noodles is something close to Chuck’s heart and seeing the crew succeed is something that has been a dream of his since the formation of the crew. The bond between him and his crew members is something that he values greatly both in his professional life and his personal life.
