Biography

[edit]

Edra was born on May 8, 2003, in Chula Vista, California, and has Filipino ancestry.[1] She took ballet classes when young, but was unable to continue due to costs associated with classes.[1][2] When she was age seven, her father suggested trying out hip hop dance classes; Edra said that "I told my dad I didn't want to try it, that I was scared, but he wanted me to try it."[1] She said he responded by tricking her into attending the classes, telling her that she was going to be attending art classes instead.[1][2] According to NBC: "She quickly became hooked, inspired by her B-girl teacher and the feeling of bliss that hip-hop brought her. Hip-hop classes quickly turned to [breakdancing] classes, and her career continued from there."[2]

Edra was nicknamed "Logistx" by her father at age 10, and went on a strict schedule to develop as a dancer, which included gymnastics classes.[3] She began competing in breaking competitions and won the Silverback Open B-Girl tournament in Philadelphia in 2018.[4] In 2020, she traveled to Singapore and won the Junior 7 to Smoke breaking competition.[2][4] Around that time, she moved to South Florida, where she later opened a dance studio.[2] She competed at the Red Bull BC One World Final in 2021 and won the title, becoming both the youngest winner and the first American winner in the women's category.[5] Edra later won a bronze medal at the WDSF 2023 Pan American Championship and was selected for the 2024 Olympic Qualifier Series; her performance there led her to be chosen to compete for the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics, the first time breakdancing was featured at the games.[3][6]
