OGONЁK

Yehor Kyrylin, also known as Ogonёk, is a breakdancer and instructor who has been dancing for 11 years.

He began his journey in breaking culture in 2015 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, at "All Stars"—one of the country's largest dance studios. Since then, breaking has become not only his dance style but also a vital part of his lifestyle, culture, and personal growth.

Yehor is an active member of the breaking community, regularly participating in battles and events across Europe—both as a solo competitor and with his crew, "SaintRockers." His recent achievements include 1st place at "Crew Jam Pro 2025" in Riga; 2nd place at "Baltasis Tiltas Jam 2025," "Give Me a Break Kaunas 2025," "Light the Year Battles Kaunas 2025," and "Point Break Helsinki 2026"; 3rd place at the 2024 Latvian Championship; as well as several Top 8 and Top 16 finishes at international events in Finland, Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania.

In his classes, Yehor focuses on the basics of breakdancing: toprock, footwork, freezes, power moves, tricks, musicality, freestyle, and battle preparation. However, for him, learning breakdancing is not just about learning the moves. He believes that it is important for dancers to understand, what they are doing, how they are doing it, and, most importantly, why they are doing it. Therefore, he pays special attention to Breaking and Hip-Hop culture, their history, fundamentals, and the meaning behind the movements.

His lessons are energetic, playful, and friendly. Yehor wants students to feel free to experiment, unafraid of making mistakes, and to enjoy the process while gradually developing their technique and individual style. His goal is to bring a bit of his own "Ogonёk"—that spark of enthusiasm, curiosity, and passion to every class.
