Paul Allen (Bboy Balen)

My name is Paul Richard Allen but most people call me Balen, I am 27 years young and come from a small town in the north of Ireland called The Mighty Omagh. I started breaking about 9 years ago and have not really stopped since.

I moved over to Newcastle Upon Tyne 5 years ago as most of the crew had there eyes set on the city and I didn’t fancy staying in The Mighty Omagh head spinning by myself so I never really looked back to be honest, I love Newcastle and there’s much more of a scene here in the UK for b-boying and working doing what I love I really enjoy teaching and sharing my skills to anyone who’s interested.

Aside from breaking I love to play the drums and a wee bit a poker here and there...not bad at snooker either...and don’t even start me with football....(Liverpool fan) I like to get out with the lads and love travelling...Rio and NYC have been the best so far...roll on the next stop
