Whether I’m performing or judging, I’m all about connecting with the crowd and bringing that hip-hop culture alive. It’s not just about steps - it’s about the story, the fire, and the realness you bring to the floor. ### Performances: Full Power - I do solo freestyle as HE-Mantis, always keeping it raw and spontaneous. If you want that street dance showcase that gets people hyped, that’s my thing. - For bigger impact, I roll with my crew, Bangalore Hustlers. We bring tight routines and crew energy that hits different. - I’ve performed at everything from college fests to brand activations, music videos, and private parties. If you want the crowd moving, I’m your guy. ### Judging: No Nonsense - As a hip-hop battle judge, I keep it 100. I look for creativity, technique, and that unique spice every dancer brings. - I judge 1-vs-1 all style battles, group dance competitions, and even kids’ freestyle contests. - Usually, I kick off with a judge’s showcase performance to set the vibe and get everyone pumped. ### Where I’m At Based in Namma Bengaluru, but I travel for the right gigs. Delhi, Kerala, wherever the scene calls. If you want someone who lives and breathes this, hit me up. ## Highlights Browse through Hemanth's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/hiphop_hemanth_hustlers/performances-judging/featured) - [Video: This is the energy I live for.
