Eric "eclypse" Hiraldo came across the art form of bboyin (breakdancing) in high school back in late 1999. This interesting form of dance sparked something in him, in which later has become his life. Eric is a leader/founder of the bboy crew 2K Tactiks out of Northern New Jersey. At an early age Eric and his crew members ventured in New York City to witness, learn, and captivate bboy/hip hop culture. His dance credits include: 2008 Team USA Basketball/Nike, New Jersey Nets Basketball, Slick Rick, Rob Base Doug E Fresh, Blaze Da Stage/BET, TRL/MTV, 106 and Park/BET, Block Party/ESPN. Eric also now explores other forms of dance such as hip hop, street jazz, locking, popping, contemporary jazz, and musical theater at Broadway Dance Center in New York City under such teachers as Jared Grimes, Jamie Jackson, Brian and Scott Nicholson, Ant Boogie, etc.
