From 1992 onwards Storm danced with the New Yorker dance Company, 'Ghettoriginal'. he performed shows in Washington’s 'Kennedy Centre and in New York’s 'Lincoln Center'. While living in NYC he got his feeling for the "Funk" back by working with "Mr Wiggles" and started to practice a lot more on his popping and locking. He also hosted the HipHop Magazine 'Freestyle' on the German TV channel Viva. In 1996, he decided to form a dance company in his hometown Berlin, which was called the 'Storm and Jazzy Project'.
