TOUGH NATION VS THE MORNING'S CREW

The name TOUGH NATION derived from the tough places they grew up in, and they think of themselves as a nation, there fore as a crew coming from different nations the name TOUGH NATION was born!!! Toufeeq Baatjies came up with this name as he explains it is not only about the community they came from but also the struggles they individually face, and that would make them Tough, Nation.

Breakdancing comes from the street, these talented men love what they do there fore breakdancing comes easily to them. This will be Tough Nation's tenth year as a Bboy Group. They were in the same primary school when one of their friend told them about a workshop happening at the Community and they took the initiative to try it out at a young age. Shout out to Angelo Van Wyk for giving their first class because since then they have not stopped practicing and dancing.

speaking about a battle, and learning about b boy, you firstly need to know the basics before taking on the hard work, musicality plays a big role in attempting probably the most difficult dance genre there is. The nick of this dance is to be as creative as possible,  and when you do copy a style or move from someone else, you have to make it your own.
"You can bite a move, but make it your own." - Toufeeq Baatjies

Tough Nation has traveled may places, as a group and individually. Toufeeq and Kashief recently did a tour in Germany for 5 months with Africa Africa, and in December Tough Nation will be leaving to Spain for 8 months. Toufeeq has been to France 3 times, to Vegas, Egypt, Algeria and recently won the 2 on 2 battle of Shut Up Just Dance on 26th May 2018.

Support plays a big role when you decide to make dance your first priority. Each of them had the struggle of having n o support to getting the hugest support and respect from family and friends over the years.

When these guys get injuries it does not stop them from performing or battling, they advice to eat healthy, stay fit and warm-up. Each of them have back-up plans not like they n eed it b ut just incase anything bad happens.

Because this is Tough Nations Tenth Year as a crew, they'd love to host their own event this time and not just have people invite them to their events. when asked about the most memorable moment as a crew they answered, every show is a memorable show, because of the crowd and the feedback of people.
