Will “WilldaBeast” Adams calls Jade Chynoweth “the Olympian of dance”—and it’s not hard to see why.

She has got more than a few tricks up her sleeve, with a repertoire that includes b-boy standards like suicides and head hollowbacks by being inspired by her two super-athletic brothers, she credits her mentor, Gev Manoukian, with helping her perfect her power moves. The two first met in 2008, when he visited Chynoweth’s studio to teach a master class right after finishing his run on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Impressed, Manoukian asked Chynoweth’s mom if he could coach the young dancer, and an awesome match was born: Not only did he start choreographing Chynoweth’s competition solos, but he also invited her to shadow him and his b-boy crew. Thanks to Chynoweth’s tumbling skills, the two were able to hit the ground running. “Since I’d studied acro and could do back handsprings and tucks, it was easier to work on tricks at a higher level, like windmills and headspins,” Chynoweth remembers. | She has got more than a few tricks up her sleeve, with a repertoire that includes b-boy standards like suicides and head hollowbacks by being inspired by her two super-athletic brothers, she credits her mentor, Gev Manoukian, with helping her perfect her power moves.
