Major Def Redefined
(1).jpg)
2022 – 2023
DISBANDMENT & REBIRTH
The return from COVID-19 was not easy for anyone. During this time, the ‘New’ Major Def era had passed the torch and moved forward with their lives; however, this transition did not come without struggles. The team nearly disbanded as they struggled to find steady ground amid low member retention and other challenges.
Known "accolades" include:
-
Attempted disbandment and end of Major Def
-
NAMES REDACTED

In 2023, members Yuxiang and Bibiana stepped up as interim directors to save the team. Demonstrating the classic rigor that defined Major Def, they rose to the challenge and carried on the Major Def legacy. Afterwards, Joseph Ross took on the role of Executive Director, helping to rebuild Major Def into what it is today. Without these individuals, Major Def might have ended along with the pandemic. Thank you to those who stayed and to those who continue to support us to this day.
2023 – PRESENT
LOWKEY DEAD, HIGHKEY BACK


After what seemed like the end of Major Definition, a small group of new prospective talent attempted a comeback. Unfortunately, the damage had been done, and the setbacks made it seem as though Major Definition’s long tenure in the East Coast dance scene was coming to an end. Thankfully, through resilience, mental fortitude, and a little help from Major Def alumni, the team was revived.
Known accolades include:
-

-

This short blurb does NOT do justice to the hardships and trials the current Major Definition team has faced to be where they are today. This story has been intentionally cut short because it is not something that should be read, but told. Reach out to the new generation and hear their story — I promise it will inspire you, just as it inspired us.
