From the streets of Mexico City to the spotlight — this is a story of rhythm, resilience, and reinvention.
In this episode of Conversations with Kris, Ricardo “Ricardito” Martinez shares how a single VHS tape from his father introduced him to breakdancing and set his life in motion. Growing up in Mexico City, he chased his passion through the streets, mastering his craft in raw, underground battles that shaped his identity as a dancer and performer.
Through mentorship, risk, and relentless hustle, Ricardito rose from the streets to the stage — performing in music videos and touring as a backup dancer, most famously for Latin pop star Belinda. Today, he’s the founder of Pound It Hip Hop Studios in Alberta, Canada, where he mentors the next generation of dancers to find their own rhythm, resilience, and purpose.
This isn’t just a dance story — it’s a testament to how far passion and perseverance can take you when you move with heart.
Watch now and discover how rhythm can rewrite a life.
