Me: Mark, you freaking did it. No one deserves this as much as you do. You have been selfless since ABDC, you came home and changed the philly dance scene for the better. You have helped build people while still building yourself. Keep growing and pushing forward. What’s for you is for you and you still share it with others, that’s why you are King. - Me to Me
Xavier: I’ve learned to operate in the highest form of myself in all that I do. The way you do one thing is the way you do everything. These first months in LA, I’ve been humbled by change but hungrier than I’ve ever been in my life, ready to allow the seeds of countless years of hard work to fruit. Ready for the world to receive what I have to offer. I realized I could treat every experience as an opportunity to evaluate and grow from.. and to be able to represent the East with Mark on a project this scale this early has sparked my heart even further. This is the best edit I’ve ever created, and I’m committed to taking it to the next level, God willing. Cheers to Coachella 2024. 🥂
First foremost I want to thank @qw3nga for bringing me on to dance on the project, never thought I’d be doing choreo but that sparked something in me. 🫡
Witnessing the team at work, especially @miguel and @margaretzhang together directing, allowed me to absorb so much in my filmmaker brain. It’s a video that represents transformation and the shedding of vices; liberation. Danza De Los Diablos. A cultural protest and rebellion against slavery, turned into an expression of indigenous traditions and resilience. A battle between Christians and the Moors, a triumph over evil.

XAVIER @xaviermisbehavior
Vancouver, you won’t want to miss seeing this.. trust..
As we explore new grounds in the experimental category, it’s our honour to have an incredible, soulful artist like Xavier who has inspired us in ways beyond… and will continue to on June 6!
From the East coast snd originally from the South Jersey/Philly area, Xavier is an accomplished filmmaker and movement artist whose street dance style pulls from different influences such as animation, contemporary, Capoeira, FlexN “GetLow” and Brukup especially. He emphasizes emotional storytelling, character and passion in his style, incorporating the gritty energy of the city, yet keeps the beauty and grace that lies within it all.

Xavier will be participating in the category from TOP16!!!
He will also be sharing his craft outside of this exchange! stay tuned for info… =)
🎟️ tickets in bio! (participants tickets close 5 June 2359. door tickets for spectators available)

@ageofextinction prelims — best event I’ve been to, can’t explain how much I needed this. This gave me more reasons to love dance again, and I don’t say that lightly. Style truly evolving into something scary regardless of the closet haters and flex-righteous bums (I just made that up, kinda got a ring to it tho 🤣)
We building something real for the culture out here.
shouts to my dawg @cjrey17 for his hard work. ⚔️
I grew up in a small town in the woods of South Jersey called Browns Mills. Although I learned a lot about myself being in isolation, it was definitely not the most glamorous place, and I would say it’s very scarce in its inspiration readily available to young people. But what I learned from a small town is that the world is so much bigger than we think, and I think one of the most important things for my career was getting to see that world.

Honestly this applies to more than just moving from coast to coast, this gotta be one of life’s biggest cheat codes. Definitely always a work in progress to let go of the baggage we feel burdened to carry, but I find that everything stems from the container— which is you. If you do not go within, you will go without. May seem a bit cliche, but the return on the investment you make on your inner world has the biggest impact on your outer one. 🙇🏽♂️
Get thru day shi, twin, all that nasty stuff ain’t really us. 💯

On March 12, 1996 at 7:25 AM, Father God blessed me by putting me on this green Earth.
Here’s to 30 big years as an 👽 on 🌏 —
happy birthday to me! 🎂
Crazy to think I’ve been pursuing my dream of filmmaking and movement art for half of my life now.. and just realizing that I’m actually living and not chasing it. I faced a lot of tribulation and only grew more courageous. I rebelled in the face of the doubters and faced my own music instead of running from it because I knew it would get me here faster. The truth is, I NEVER stopped trying. I became more about my wits.
I sometimes am just so astonished that my life is really everything I envisioned after working so hard at it for many years. Becoming a self-sustaining provider with a healthy relationship doing what I love in the city I want to be in, healed from the tender wounds of teen-hood as a kid from Browns Mills, dirty JerZ , where there are literally no accounts of people living the life I live. For a lot of years even into adulthood I was very lost and sensitive to the world. I grew hardened by it and learned how to change and why it’s necessary to choose your change. Still figuring it all out to be honest.
But I’ve never been more excited to continue trying! This feels like a huge milestone, and I’m stepping back and gazing upon the life I built like a painter admires his latest masterwork.
If I could give anyone a piece of what I found most important so far.. it’s to just choose to do the right thing, even when it’s extremely difficult. Even when it’s not asked for or acknowledged, do it anyways.
Deep down, you’ll always know what the right thing to do is, just trust. 🙇🏽♂️
