CypherStyles is, in short, the best outlet for hip-hop and street dance resources, period. The dance community, hip-hop community, and the planet at large would be a better place with more people like Barry and his team.

From an industry perspective, it's hard to beat CypherStyles's selection and service. Gone are the days of warily-made purchases with creeping anxieties about identity theft, defective products, and missing orders. The purchasing process is short, simple, and satisfying -- exactly the way it should have always been.

But what really separates CypherStyles from any other street dance retailer is a genuine affection for the culture and an unbelievable approachability. While other retailers tend to either get caught up in the money or in their own egos in the dance scene, CypherStyles somehow manages to maintain a high standard of professionalism while also staying true to its roots. I've often felt incredulous at CypherStyles's sheer humility and heart. Whether you're a fan who wants some neat videos, a dancer who's trying to save your knee, a performer trying to get your name out, or an entrepreneur trying to find an outlet to peddle your new headspin goods, chances are that someone at CypherStyles can -- and actually wants -- to help you. It's kind of ridiculous, really.

Ask pretty much any b-boy, b-girl, or member of the b-boy community -- chances are, at some point, they have either said or heard someone say something along the lines of "Barry from CypherStyles is the nicest f--king guy in the world." There are a lot of myths and rumors in hip-hop, but this one rings true. I'd probably trust Barry and the CypherStyles team with my firstborn, no s--t.
