Ephrat Asherie

MAWU Co-founder, Company Member

Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie has trained extensively in ballet and modern dance, but has found her home in b-girling, hip hop and house. Ephrat began b-girling in Brooklyn in 2002 under Breakeasy (original B.I.S crew). Soon after, she was introduced to house music and has been greatly influenced by the New York club scene ever since. Ephrat has performed and taught throughout the US and Europe, as well as in Peru and South Africa. She has appeared on MTV, Comedy Central and at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and DTW. Ephrat is a regular guest artist with Rennie Harris Puremovement and a member of the allfemale breaking crew FoxForceFive. She was chosen by Dance Magazine as one of 25 to watch in 2007 and is on faculty at Broadway Dance Center. Ephrat is honored to be a part of MAWU and is excited to keep reppin hard in the ciphers and on stage.
