Matthew Day
V.I.P Vallejo Company Dancer
Video 1 | Video 2
Matthew Day, of V.I.P Vallejo (formerly of Tripl3 Threat) is a 20 year old dancer turned artist. From learning street dances and performing locally to catching spots on BET’s 106 & Park and Spring Bling, this young talent has only touched on his career and has a long way to go. Everything from local TV and newspaper articles, Matt has given to all areas of his community. Matt has performed in such shows as the NBA all-star weekend in Vegas, Wild 94.9 concerts, ABDC tours (where they placed 1st in a competition), The Movement (Nor-Cal Krump evolution), as well as fund raisers, and private parties. Matt has also back-up danced for artists Selau and Donny from Making The Band.
Aside from performing, Matt has Co-Directed Bliss Dance Company (a 10 division dance family with over 120 members) for two years. Matt travels from city to city to teach master classes and private lessons for other dance companies.
His belief system which he has named MeDa4 ( metaphor ) was created as Matt says “I am a metaphor for dance.” His symbolism in the stories he creates on stage speaks for itself. Matt says “Dance took me from a place of confusion and destruction to a road of success and determination and showed me that with what I’ve gone thru in my life I can inspire others who don’t know how to try. Gave me a reason to look to the future cause a man that lives in the past doesn’t live at all.” Matt is in this for the real art of it, not the fame or commercialization of it all. Matt feels dance is the most powerful thing on earth and can be what changes peoples emotional state as well as give hope to others.

Stephan Isileli Tuifua, better known as Isi, was born and raised in South San Francisco. Coming from a Tongan (Pacific Islander) family dance was not the first choice for Isi. It was Isi’s goal to become a basketball player in the NBA. Isi didn’t start dancing until his freshman year in high school when he decided to take a jazz class. Since then, it was impossible to keep him away from the studio. He trained in jazz, lyrical, and contemporary. It wasn’t until he graduated college with an Associates Degree in Performing Arts that Isi joined the hip hop scene, dancing with the Oddacities SF and Funks SF. After being accepted into the University of California Berkeley, Isi decided to take a semester off venture off to LA. After living in LA for a year, he competed on season 5 of America’s Best Dance Crew with Heavy Impact Crew and since then has been on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Isi continues to dance and teach in LA and hopes to spread his love and passion for dance worldwide.
