Joshua Culbreath (BBoy Supa Josh) is a choreographer, educator, and cultural ambassador specializing in Hip Hop and street dance. A Philadelphia native, he began Breaking at age seven and has since become an influential figure in the field. He has performed with Rennie Harris Puremovement from 2009 to 2023, serving as Assistant Artistic Director during his tenure. Joshua is Co-founder of Snack Break Movement Arts, a street-dance-inspired performance duo, and a member of Retro Flow Crew, representing the Philadelphia and New Jersey Breaking scenes. Named one of Dance Magazine\u2019s Top 25 Artists to Watch in 2019, his work has been presented at The Annenberg Center, The Yard, ICA Boston, The Palace of Fine Arts, and internationally in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In 2012, he was selected as a U.S. Hip Hop cultural ambassador to the DR of Congo under the Obama Administration. He holds an MFA in Dance from the University of Iowa, where his research explored Hip Hop as an embodied archive and a tool for community transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
