Mike Yang Biography:

Mike (Chu Ming) Yang discovered his passion for dance back in Taipei, Taiwan during his high school days. Mike got into b-boying after seeing a couple of his close friends experiment with the dance style. He was intrigued by the complexity of the dance and fell in love with it. Due to conflicts with sports during high school, Mike was not able to commit fully to dancing. It was not until senior year of high school that Mike started to focus on dancing. The summer after graduation, Mike and a couple other crew members from his old crew Happy Soul choreographed a full breaking show for Battle of The Year Taiwan 2008 and won 2nd place in the show category.

Soon after Mike moved to California to pursue his college degree at Chapman University where Chuck and Rob attended. Coincidentally, Charles chose the same school and both of them have been roommates since. Mike joined Instant Noodles in the summer of 2008 right before school started. Since being a part of the Instant Noodles Crew he has done a number of underground bboy battle exhibition and bboy choreography stage shows with them.
