Lee-Lou Demierre is part of the highly-skilled, new generation of Dutch breakers. Born and raised in the city of Amsterdam, he was just two years of age when he first started breaking, mimicking the moves of his mother, who was a talented B-Girl.
Travelling with his mother to breaking competitions, he soon developed a love for the culture and became determined to become a dancer in his own right.
Lee would soon meet Shailesh Bahoran from the Illusionary Rockers crew and spent five years honing his craft by observing and sharing ideas with Bahoran. Then, in 2010, he would join The Ruggeds crew who quickly became like a family to the young breaker.
Training alongside his fellow crew members, Lee would adapt moves and develop a unique breaking style of his own. Known for his dynamic flexibility and fluid way of moving, he has created an unpredictable flow that's infused with original sliding moves. One of his signatures is his travelling windmills, where he moves across the stage by performing an elbow slide in-between each windmill rotation.
This original style has helped Lee secure numerous titles, including victories at Crashfest in 2020, the 2021 Red Bull BC One E-Battle and the 2022 Dutch Breaking solo B-Boy competition. He also won the 2022 LCB 2v2 competition in Belgium with his fellow crew member, Phil Wizard, and took the victory at 2022 World Breaking Classic 2vs2 competition, with B-Boy Link.
In 2023, he won the Amsterdam Breaking Championship solo competition and took the second place at the WDSF 2023 European Continental Championship in Almeria, Spain.
He competed in the Games 2024, in Paris, representing the Netherlands alongside fellow crewmate Menno.
As a member of the Red Bull BC One All Stars, Lee makes sure he always surrounds himself with people who are pursuing the same goals and is determined to inspire the whole world with his movement.
