Cambodian Break Dancers

Cambodian Break Dancers
tiny toones by Stuart Isett.

The Tiny Toones break dancing troupe was born in the Bassac slum area of Phnom Penh, Cambodia and provides free HIV/AIDS, health, drug awareness, performing arts and language education in English and Khmer to underprivileged youth. It also serves as a community center, with an open door policy, where hundreds of children have a positive environment to channel their energy into learning and performing arts. The group was founded by Tuy Sobil, a.k.a. KK, originally from Long Beach, who brought his b-boy dance talents to the streets of Cambodia to help the country struggling to rebuild after 30 years of war.
