Think you're too old to break dance? Think again. Steve C. Graham, a 55-year-old private equity exec who runs Philadelphia-area Graham Partners, also has some serious breakdancing moves that would make guys half his age envious. And here's the proof:
Apparently, Graham got his start in the breaking scene while working as an analyst at Goldman Sachs during the early 1980s after visiting a legendary Chelsea club called "The Roxy".
Inspired, he began his training after office hours by heading to a community center in the South Bronx. He also began challenging people who break for money on the sidewalk in Manhattan before entering breakdancing battles under the nickname "B-boy Silverback."
After his stint at Goldman, he attended business school at Dartmouth where he taught a bunch of his classmates how to break. Eventually real life got in the way of his training, although he would still occasionally break out his moves at parties.
It was only after he enrolled his two youngest sons into breaking with some coaches in Philadelphia that Graham decided to pick up the hobby once more. This led to him to create a non-profit called UDEF (Urban Dance & Educational Foundation), which is modeled after the ATP tennis tour, PGA golf tour, NASCAR and other pro sports. The proceeds will go to UDEF to support young breakers teaching and helping people.
