Zeff is the Vice Deputy of 5th Avenue's Street Dance & Jazz Faculty. His dance journey began in 2008 with Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Hip Hop club, NRA (New Revolving Age), where he built his foundation in street dance. Over the years, Zeff has continued to broaden his dance knowledge through workshops and masterclasses with internationally respected dancers such as Waackeisha, Henry Link, and C Mack. Since becoming a full-time dance educator in 2019, Zeff has worked with students of various ages and experience levels, guiding many to achieve top placings in solo competition categories. He believes that dance education should be both challenging and enjoyable, creating an environment where students can develop strong fundamentals, confidence, creativity, and a lasting passion for dance. Drawing from his experience as both a performer and educator, Zeff is committed to helping students grow not only as dancers but also as individuals. For IMPEL, he brings years of teaching experience, industry exposure, and a passion for nurturing the next generation of dancers.
Andrew Foo is a Malaysian choreographer, coach, and founder of Tcartsba, with 19 years of dance education and experience across Malaysia and Singapore. He coaches Zeppo Youngsterz and Declan, with Zeppo Youngsterz making history as World Champions at Body Rock USA 2023, adding to title wins at Summer Jam Showcase 2023 and the Circle Dance Lab 2024. Declan most recently took champion at Summer Jam Showcase Competition 2025 in Vietnam. He also represents Asia internationally with Jam Republic, including at IDL 2025 in Los Angeles. Beyond competing, Andrew is one of the region's most sought-after judges and mentors, having sat on panels for Dance Supremacy Malaysia, LCDC, ActiveGroove SG, Rentak Kakies, break2prove, and Yesim, and serving as official choreographer and mentor at Untitled Dance Camp 2025. As a performer, he has been part of Project Home Singapore in both 2018 and 2023, the internationally renowned dance production founded by Christopher Martin and Larkin Poynton, and has taught and was featured internationally at Kinjaz Dojo, OffstagebyGRV California, and FX Studio San Diego. For IMPEL, Andrew brings a coach's eye and a champion's experience straight to DPA's dancers.
Mull (뮬) is a member of HolyBang, the all-female Korean dance crew crowned champions of Mnet's Street Woman Fighter and now signed under Jay Park's label, MORE VISION Entertainment. Her style is rooted in girls hip hop. Her career spans at choreographing and directing performances for actress Park Eun-bin, including for the hit drama Castaway Diva and the 2024 special stage Eunbin Note: DIVA, as well as movement direction for productions like 신이랑법률사무소 (Shinilang Law Office). She has also graced stages at Waterbomb and the Jay Park Asia World Tour. Most recently, she took home the win at The LIP Vol. 3, South Korea's Girls Hip Hop Battle & Party, in May 2025. For IMPEL, Mull brings that same powerful, polished energy from Korea's street dance scene straight to DPA.
