Biography

Roman Gorskiy was born in Moscow, Russia, on August 25, 1985. His father was coach of the Russian national women's tennis team, and due to his work issues the family moved to Conversano, Italy, in 1993.[1][2] Roman Gorskiy practised basketball, tennis and karate. In 2001, after he watched the music video for Freestyler, he started training to breakdance. In 2003, he created Break-dance.it, the first major Italian website about breakdancing, with tutorials and resources.[3][4] In 2004, he moved to Milan and joined the breakdancing crew Bandits; the team won several national contests[4] and he performed in ads, music videos and TV shows, and at international events.[4][2]

Red Bull BC One, 2012.

In 2013, he won the Italian Red Bull BC One championship for the second year,[5][3] then won the Western European Finals) in Naples.[6] He then became the first Italian participant at the world championship in Seoul, Korea.

In 2015, he provided live commentary for the broadcast of the Red Bull BC One, held in Rome, for Radio 105.[3]

In 2018, with the Bandits crew, Gorskly represented Italy in the Battle Of the Year International in France.[2]

He was a choreographer[7] and teacher[8] on the Italian television talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi.

In 2018, Gorskly founded the Bandits Dance Studio in Milan, the first professional breakdance academy in Italy. The studio holds dance classes and also teaches marketing, self-branding and communication applied to the world of dance.[2] His effort in teaching breakdancing was influenced by his desire to spread a healthy lifestyle, to keep away from the crime, and to offer a life purpose.[1]

Froz and communism

The grandson of a Red Army soldier, Gorskly is openly sympathetic toward communism. He is an admirer of the Italian communist leader Enrico Berlinguer, and has competed wearing a red jacket with the СССР logo or a T-shirt with the symbol of the Italian partisans.[1]
