Ethan Stamps
Ethan “E” Stamps is a Chicago-based street dancer specializing in HipHop, Animation, and Krump. Though he has been dancing his entire life, Ethan began his formal training in 2022 with the local HipHop/Reggaeton crew 8TEENth Crew (18th HipHop Crew), where he built his foundation and deepened his commitment to the culture. He later trained with Xtreme Dance Force Company (2023–2024), sharpening his skills in HipHop choreography before shifting his focus toward freestyle and battle culture.
Now immersed in freestyle, Ethan continues to train in HipHop, Animation, and Krump, developing a dynamic and expressive movement style. He has taught pop-up choreography classes and regularly competes at battle jams throughout Chicago, with aspirations to travel and compete beyond Illinois.
His battle experience includes appearances at World of Dance Chicago, Les Twins World Tournament Chicago, Red Bull Dance Your Style, and World of Dance Chicago, along with Kingofkingz Vol. 2, Snipes Cypher Series, Community Things HipHop 2v2, Aux Cord Kill Off, Windy City Wars, Culture of 4 2v2, and Kinship.
Ethan’s goal is to represent the newer generation of dance while becoming a leader within his city and community, carrying forward the culture with authenticity, growth, and passion.
