Known for his signature step, “The Ghostwalk,” GHOST is legendary Bruk Up (broken form) dancer and teacher, a style which draws on Jamaican dancehall and hip-hop forms and is used as a practice to heal both broken bodies and spirits. After a childhood accident, GHOST spent many years wearing a leg brace, until he used dancing to rehabilitate himself—similar to the style’s founder, George “Bruk Up” Adams, who had a childhood bone infection. The huanting sound of Alison's song Blue is embodied by GHOST's fluid yet precise movement, which features his own stylistic creation called “possession.”
