GUSTAS GECIAUSKAS OR BBoy Gustas as he’s known in the breakdancing community, is an eight-year-old kid with a lot of talent who is a member of Fit Kids/Fit Teens Dance School in Drogheda.

Last year he entered the UDO World Hip Hop Championships in Glasgow. He won the competition for Ireland and has consistently been winning national and international hip hop and breakdance awards for years, even when up against teenagers who are twice his age.

BBoy world, an international breakdance group on Facebook with nearly 1 million followers shared a video of Gustas to their page today.

They called him a ‘living fidget spinner’.

This might make you dizzy.

That’s certainly not something you see in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre every day.
