Blast From The Past: "Get To Know" Tyk Myn
1. Tyk Myn - 300.jpg

In 2006, ChiStepper created an interview profile series called "Get To Know" and this series featured a number of great steppers, one of which was the best pound 4 pound stepper in the game, Tyk Myn. The interview basically picked steppers brains on their favorites, and a host of other things. I wonder if ChiSteppers would like for us to remix this series?

Tyk Myn says that he believes the key to his creativity was learning how to dance on the men's side. According to Tyk, "When the man starts on the women's side, he's out of position to create some of the moves that I create."
