Discover Allison “Al*Star” Faulk

Give a round of applause (a.k.a GFF golf clap) for Rino Nakasone Razalan, our third Discovered B-Girl in gendance’s Beat Freak Mania. Born in Okinawa, Japan (Woah, we’re so turning Japaneesa this week, did you read Trendsetter yet?) Rino grew up dancing to the smooth sounds of Michael Jackson. Michael was her inspiration to “search the world to meet and dance with the best.” And judging from her style, there’s no doubt she did just that and was swept up by Gwen Stefani as a Harajuku Girl.

She was even ‘In the Zone’ on Britney Spears Onyx world tour. It didn’t take long for the ultimate in talent, such as Janet, Missy and, most recently, the band, F(x), to snag this Rino-mazing artist as well.

What you can really learn from this star is that she goes for it all. She’s global. Korean musical groups SHINee, Girls’ Generation (love the name) and Super Junior have been styled with her choreo pizzazz.

We also have a secret to share, and do tell your friends. Rino can also sing! Miss thang and Maryss have a singing group called the GEMINIZ. They're currently working on songs. Check it out now at www.thegeminiz.com. Now that’s what we call “freaking the dream.”

Don’t worry GFF’s, you can still find Rino kicking it with the Beat Freaks and, in her down time, hanging out with friends, family and her dog. And you might find her in a movie with Maryss soon, but details to come next week. (Hint.)

MORAL of the Story: Work it, express it, live it, command your style, create it, design it. Wear the dance-like Rino, ladies.
