I am Maoly Martel Dumais known under the nickname Mao aka Baby Taminator.
I was born on October 25, 2005.
I started to dance at the age of 3 years old, but for real, way before… I was dancing every time music is playing, my parents say that I was dancing before I was walking. I first started with ballet, then hip hop and because it was never enough, I introduced myself to jazz, b-boying, popping, and krump at 9 years old.
I saw krump for the first time in a show back in 2010. Since then, I have been looking at videos on YouTube of Valerie (aka Taminator) and her group, BuckSwans, that dance this style. I was dreaming of dancing with them one day. I did my first krump class with 7Starr in July 2014.
I participated in competitions and performed as a soloist, in many competitions here in Canada as Hit the Floor. I also did some battles: my first one was in hip hop at the biggest street dance event in Canada, Bust a move. I participated in other battle events such as Shut up and Dance, The Clash, Gutta Zone, and others but the most memorable was Kiff your Style in January 2015.
That day, I realized my dream that for the first time, I dance in front of all the BuckSwans and got the chance to be judged by Jaja Vankova. After that, Taminator took me under her wings and since then, I have the chance to work, train, and to be part of the fam I always wanted to be a part of as Baby Taminator!
Krump is a big family all around the world. I started traveling for my first Krump camp in 2018 at Krumpire in Russia. From there I meet al lot of krumpers from all around the world and made my first international kids battle 8 Buck, surrounded by all my idols kids krumpers. I had the chance to go to Krumpire Krump dance camp twice (also went in 2019)
On my 13th birthday, I got the biggest gift I ever had from my family, which was my first SLX with Tighteyex. Meeting Tigheyex and dancing with him was definitely my biggest dream that I will always remember.
King of Buck 10th was one of the biggest krump events I participated, it was an amazing experience for me. Japan is one of the best places in the world I traveled to. Sharing the stage with all those amazing Japonais krumpers was one of the most impressive experiences I lived since now.
One of the accomplishments which it is the proudest in my krump experiences is definitely winning Kids Illest Battle 2019, in Paris.
I keep working hard and always try to improve my krump dance by a lot of labbing and an open mind for suggestions from krumpers from all around the world to help me get better as a dancer and as a person.
