Aidan (energĀ) Rubenstein

Student and Dancer in Chicago

About Me

I’m Aidan. My street name is energĀ. I live in the Chicago area. I have been dancing on competitive hiphop teams since the 3rd grade. I have been training in various street styles and battling since 2023. I have been modeling and acting since 2024

Interesting Fact

I was born with a rare birth defect called congenital diaphragmatic hernia that gave me less than a 50% chance of survival. In my case, I was born without a diaphragm and have an artificial diaphragm made out of gortex. However, this doesn't define me and has never held me back!
