FREAKS DON’T SLEEP.
Rawskeleton.
Jason “Rawskeleton” Toney has been dancing since the mid-90’s, traveling the world for competitions, performing in shows, teaching, and giving back to the youth. Along with his crew, The Freak Show, he is an originator and creator of a style within Breaking known as The Abstract Style, Freak Style, or Circus Style. He has been evolving the style since the early 2000’s, founding Tricks & Blows as a professional company within the style in 2014.
Along with winning national and international championships, part of his journey has included bringing the style out of the underground and integrating it into the mainstream. While always remaining true to the culture and respecting the original form of the dance, Rawskeleton has brought the Abstract Style to National tours including Vans Warped Tour, to performances with major recording artists such as KRS-One and Harry Hudson, and even onto reality television on America’s Got Talent and So You Think You Can Dance.
Rawskeleton is respected by individuals and organizations around the world, inspiring the next generations to take it to the next level and beyond. He currently resides in Aurora, Colorado, where he teaches and builds community at School of Breaking as the Artistic and Cultural Director, and Head Coach of the resident competitive team, Scrappers Breakers.
He continues to compete on a professional level using the Abstract Style, keeping the movement alive around the globe. He hopes to be able to preserve the style by connecting with and educating those that are inspired to take their style, and their culture to new heights.
