Our conversation delves into how Free developed his unique movements and ideas through innovative concepts and creative pathways. He emphasizes the importance of "play" in discovering new transitions, freezes, and footwork. Free also shares his perspective on the art of battle and the significance of competition, reflecting on how differing views on competition can impact one’s true dance form and artistic expression—sometimes to the detriment of the art itself.

Additionally, Free opens up about what it takes to cultivate a dynamic crew like Circle of Fire. He discusses how ties of loyalty and friendship are tested within a true crew and how years spent together in the circle forge lasting bonds. Free reminisces about the camaraderie of dance as a form of expression, recalling some of his fondest memories with Circle of Fire from the dance halls and underground clubs featuring captivating beats and unheard jams.
