Ivan Koumaev was born on the October 16th, 1987 in eastern Russia. At seven-years-old, Koumaev moved to Seattle, Washington, where he grew up and picked up dancing at age 11 after watching "Breakin'". Koumaev had heart surgery on his aorta when he was just eight-years-old, as it was small and had holes in it. He considers being able to dance a miracle.
