NYLDA GALLARDO-LOPEZ aka LADY NOYZ

Nylda Gallardo Lopez has twenty two years dance experience. Beginning at the age of two, she was a member of the “Nueva Esperanza” Chilean folklore dance group. Nylda expanded her repertoire to include choreographing Latin contemporary, and modern Hip hop at the early age of fourteen. In 1996, she found her true passion in Bboy/girling (break dancing) and has been competing and performing ever since. Nylda has choreographed and performed with many dance companies, such as, Phemphat productions, Hard Nox Schoolers dance co, Phase 2 of Chicago Ill., and the Humber Hype of Humber College. Nylda was featured in her own half hour special on “ The New Music” (Much Music) in 1998 that highlighted female break dancers. She also has recorded a “Much Vibe I.D”., which is a 30 second artist promotional spot that airs on Much Music and Much Vibe.

Nylda is currently the only female in the “Drunken Monkz” break dance crew which she competes and performs with. She is one of the founders of the Drunken Monkz crew, which promotes and educates on Hip hop culture, and the empowerment of urban youth. In the near future she hopes to open her own community centre which will provide youth with a positive outlet to fuel their energy through music and dance.
