World's Youngest B-Boy Taking Charge
August 8, 2006 (New York, New York)—Last Spring when 5 year-old Noah Paul, AKA B-Boy Noah-lot, joined Billboard's number one Latin group, Avetura's sold-out tour, spectators gazed in awe while witnessing the Kindergartener in action on stage. The crowds at all of the shows were mind-blown at Noah-lot's intricate B-Boy moves. Honestly, what five-year-old do you know that can do the baby freeze, Windmills, head spins, and pop and lock? And to think he's been doing that and much more since he was one-years-old.
In a cameo appearance in Tony Touch and DJ Reflex's new video, "La Colita," Noah-lot proudly shows off his intricate B-Boy moves—just as he did when he went straight to work in rapper Spoon-fed's latest video. Over the years, Spanish Harlem's boy wonder has been willingly hard at work, practicing and performing his perfected moves at high-visibility venues throughout the United States and abroad.
The recent frenzied responses to Noah-lot doesn't differ much from the reaction he received at age one, when he began to recite the script to "Tony Montana's" Scarface character word-per-word. At age two, he had his first big performance at Madison Square as an opening act for Pastor Creflo Dollar, where he danced in front of a full house with no worries. While washing dishes at his home, with a smile, Noah says, "I don't ever get nervous before a show, I'm a big man."
As one of his recent tour stops with Aventura, Noah repaid Madison Square a visit, bringing down the house again. And During Reggeaton superstar Daddy Yankee's concert at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY, Noah-lot shared the same stage with hit makers, Nina Sky, rapper N.O.R.E, and a host of other big name entertainers. The next day when callers phoned in to NYC's La Calle 105.9 FM to discuss their favorite part of the Daddy Yankee concert, by unanimous decision, Noah was voted the highlight of the night.
During Noah-lot's last performance alongside Aventura, in the Dominican Republic, he did it again—in front of over 30 thousand screaming fans. His performance brought the sold-out venue crashing down. Spectators, which heavily consisted of grown women, screamed and hollered in admiration of the B-Boy genius. His mom, Violeta Galagarza, former break dancer, and founder of Spanish Harlem based, non-profit dance company, Keep Rising to The Top (Kr3t's), had to hurry him off the stage because of the pandemonium he caused.
Galagarza and little Noah were recently invited to do a routine on the popular internationally televised talk show "Cristina." While At JFK airport on their way to the Miami taping of the show, Galagaraza went over a quick, one-minute routine with her son—which Noah memorized and delivered with no problem. After their performance, Cristina commented how amazing it was to see what she witnessed.
These days, if Lil' Noah misses dance practice, he's not a happy camper. However, to improvise for his absence, instead of sitting at home watching cartoons, he'd rather watch music videos and play his mother's 16-year collection of dance videos—rehearsing the steps he watches, until he has them down to a science.
Over the years Noah has featured in numerous publications. Below are the links to his latest coverage

THE LEARINING CHANNEL PAYS HOMAGE TO SPANISH HARLEM'S QUEEN
New York, New York (August 9)—For nearly two decades, Violeta Galagarza has been selflessly committed to her Spanish Harlem based, non-profit, Hip-Hop dance company KR3T's (Keep Rising to the Top). In recognition of her dedication and effort to her organization, The Learning Channel (TLC) decided to give back to the Queen of Spanish Harlem.
In addition to placing a huge Billboard of Violeta and her dancers on Broadway, in Times Square, TLC will be incorporating the 35 year-old choreographer of Puerto Rican decent as a part of the networks new series, "Cover Shot." In Violeta's half-hour segment (air date coming soon), the show aims at picking up where she left off seventeen years ago, when she decided to put her life on hold to give to others.
During her two day stay with the producers of Cover Shot, the single mother of three was given the Royal treatment as they reshaped her into a billboard cover model. She was waited on hand and foot as they spent time documenting her trails and tribulations as an entrepreneur. But there was only one condition to her Cover Shot—she had to block out the entire world."
I wasn't allowed to pick up my cell phone and if they saw me trying to sneak a call in they would get very upset with me," Galagarza laughs. "But it felt real good. I was very happy that they chose me to do the show." Galagarza is known to be a workaholic. If she's not on her computer making travel arrangements for her company, booking shows, coordinating rehearsals, counseling members of her community, or raising her three sons, then she's probably lending her choreography skills to some of today's hottest artists.
In July, Violet was summoned to Montreal Canada's "Just For Laughs Festival," where she spent four days as an artist development coach for Maximus, a Korean B-Boy based dance group. Prior to that, the presence of Galagarza and her five-year-old son, B-Boy Noah-lot, was requested on the hit Spanish talk show Cristina, where the two received a standing ovation for their dynamic performance.
CBS News New York has also paid recognition to Violet, and will be dedicating an upcoming segment of "Notable New Yorkers" to Violeta. Although Violeta and her dance company receive constant praise and recognition, all support by means of product and monetary donations is what keeps KR3T's doors open.
