Dance/Life Inspirations: My parents and my brother are my biggest inspiration in life; they have a strong influence on my personality and mentality. In terms of dancing, a lot of my motivation comes from my crew – Instant Noodles. They helped me create a completely new approach to dance that suits my taste. School, music, and my friends are very important to me as well as my thinking process.

Charles Lee Biography:

Charles Lee was born in New Jersey and moved to Taipei, Taiwan in 1995, where he spent his entire academic career, before college, at Taipei American School. Like the other members on Instant Noodles, Charles’ peers, teachers and dance classes (in and outside of school) ignited his interest for dance.Dance became significant in his life after taking part in the school’s major modern dance performances and local breaking events.

Charles’ first encounter with Instant Noodles, before joining the crew, was during his Winter break in sophomore year. He, coincidentally, chose Chapman University after high school, which was where Chuck, Rob, and Mike went to, or has attended, school. Charles was inducted in to Instant Noodles in Fall 2008. He, not only, found a crew to continue his passion for dance and pursue his dreams, but also created family-like bonds with them.
