Around this time he was introduced to his mentor Ejoe Wilson, and later joined his company Beyond Phenomenon. Huu Rock further developed his style by studying the moves of other pioneers such as Tone McGregor, Sekou Heru, Marjory Smarth, Buddha Stretch, Kim Holmes, Brian Green, Jazzy J, Mike Ufouria, Caleaf, Shan S, Cebo and many others by way of parties and other social dance events.

In 2013, Huu Rock started Hiphop Wednesdays and in 2016, House Mondays, both open format dance sessions open to dancers of all levels.

MELLOW ANIMALS was started in 2014 with fellow dancer, Riceball. Together they founded Battle 101, a dance battle open to all styles of movement.

Huu Rock who got his start on the streets, battling, and in the clubs, has expanded his work to include teaching, appearances on TV and in music videos, and on the stage.
