Tag: Keith Irving

It was probably a little more than a year ago when I had this guy. This guy ended up being more than just a homie I met at school through mutual friends. Me and him were always compared to each other throughout the school, even our professors were asking us if we knew each other. We’re both skinny, black guys from The Bronx who attend Hostos Community College, we both love hip hop, our favorite hip hop group is A Tribe Called Quest, we both wear glasses, except mine are fashion, his are prescription, and we both dress 90’s hip hop vintage. What made this guy stand out to me the most though is his dancing. He’s hands down one of the illest dancers I’ve ever seen and met. His name is Keith Irving aka The Abstract and he’s a 20 year old dancer. His nickname is an influence from the MC himself, Q-Tip. Keith has been dancing since he was 12 years old. His major influences are Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Fik-Shun, Kid The Wiz, and an Korean popper named HOAN. He considers his dancing style to be diverse. He can do more than just one style of dancing. I was even fortunate enough to join Keith in a dance routine when we were both hired as dancers for an old school themed birthday party back in February. It was a great night and we took over the dance floor. Song after song, we danced and even knew the routines to the songs based off the videos we remember watching as a kid. Keith is also in a dancing group called “New Kings On The Block.” You can check out Keith’s dancing on his Instagram account @abstract.__ Homeboy for Legit skills for real. So rare to see dope dancers from The Bronx doing more than just your typical popular kids dance at a family cookout. This is Michael Jackson kinda shit we’re talking about here, that B-Boy, 1980’s Kinda shit. That kinda shit that keeps your attention, wanting more. This dude is the absolute truth for real!
