Dance Signature Move:

The first krump dancer to make the Top 20, Russell feels he was born to do this: “When I was little, my mom asked my sisters and my little brother and I what we wanted to be when we grew up and I automatically said I wanted to be a dancer and an artist. Ever since then, I never turned back. At first, it was just watching videos and picking up movements from there. And then I started going to classes at this local dance company called Boston City Lights. You know, it was free and that helped me develop in lots of areas.” by Korbi Ghosh, Zap2it

From Fox Dance profile:

My name is Russell Ferguson. I was born in Boston, M.A. and I am 20 years old. I’ve been dancing since I was 3 years old and I’m still going. My drive in life is guided by God and my motivation comes from my parents. I hope the world could see me as an artist and hopefully appreciates what I’m putting out there.
