Born in NY, Peppa grew up in the Bay Area and was inspired by the “New Jack” or “Party Dancing” at school dances and house parties.. She was also inspired to dance by watching music videos of Michael, Janet, Paula Abdul and the Fly Girls.
She later moved to NYC and became involved with Urban Impact, a NYC hip hop troupe, that involved youth programs that kept kids off the streets. She taught hip-hop classes and choreographed routines for U.I.
Freestylin' became her passion and an ideal outlet for her emotional, spiritual and physical expression. When frequenting the NYC night clubs, Peppa discovered breaking. She began learning foundation from Bgirl Rokafella, and local b-boys & bgirls in NYC.

Recognizing how Breakin can have a positive impact on keeping kids from using drugs, she is involved with J.U.I.C.E. and she enjoys teaching all over the world. Peppa started a breaking session called B.A.D. (breakers against drugs) in which she teaches class and holds practices in Culver City open to students of all levels and ages.
