BonkoKid likes filming her dance videos in places that make people look twice. Around Los Angeles, she searches for interesting backdrops, sometimes choosing locations that leave viewers wondering where the video was recorded. The setting is part of the fun, but the dancing is what brings everything together.
Behind the name is Mira Aurelia Taylor, a Los Angeles-based content creator whose interest in Jumpstyle has become a major part of her online presence. Her videos feature the quick footwork and energetic movements associated with the European hard dance scene, often paired with music from artists who have influenced her along the way.
She’s still learning the style and doesn’t pretend otherwise. In fact, there are plenty of things she wants to try beyond dancing, from gaming videos to eventually making music of her own.
She calls herself an “all you can watch creator.” It’s an unusual description, but one that fits her reluctance to settle into a single content category.
Growing Up Across Different Cultures
Mira was born in Hong Kong and spent her childhood moving between several Asian countries, including Japan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. In mid-2021, she relocated to Los Angeles with her parents.
Having grown up in so many places, she arrived in the United States with experiences shaped by different cultures and environments. She describes herself as an American-Filipino mix, is comfortable with any pronouns, and prefers to go by Mira Aurelia Taylor.
Starting a new life in Los Angeles meant adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings. It also placed her in a different social environment at a time when she was still figuring out how she wanted to present herself to the world.
When she entered ninth grade in 2022, Mira noticed that many of the students considered cool seemed to have something in common. They were quiet, kept to themselves, wore their hoodies up, and rarely showed much excitement.
She began doing the same.
For roughly two years, she adopted that reserved, nonchalant attitude. Looking back, however, it wasn’t necessarily how she wanted to be.
Towards the end of 2024, she began making changes. She wanted to feel happier and become more comfortable around other people, so she started paying closer attention to the habits and attitudes that influenced her daily life.
An unlikely source of inspiration was her US History teacher.
The teacher had a reputation for being strict, and many students weren’t particularly fond of the amount of work she assigned. Mira came to appreciate her approach. She understood that the expectations were intended to teach discipline and prepare students for life beyond school.
That experience influenced the way she thought about improving herself.
By her junior year in 2025, she was becoming noticeably more outgoing. She experimented with different clothes, dyed her hair, and started feeling more comfortable expressing her personality.
Around the same time, she discovered Jumpstyle.
How Jumpstyle Became Part of Her Life
Early 2025 wasn’t an easy period for Mira. She was dealing with emotional pressure surrounding her parents’ divorce, alongside the everyday challenges of being a teenager.
Music had always interested her, and she found herself drawn to the fast beats and distinctive movements of Jumpstyle.
The dance, which developed alongside European hard dance music, is known for its rapid kicks, coordinated footwork, and demanding rhythms. Learning the movements takes practice, particularly when trying to keep up with faster tracks.
Mira began exploring the style after discovering artists and creators including Joost Klein, bbno$, and RomancePlanet.
She enjoyed the music, the physical challenge, and the possibilities of turning a dance performance into an interesting video.
Once she started filming, the locations became an important consideration. Rather than recording every performance against a similar background, she began searching for different places around Los Angeles.
Some were recognizable. Others were unusual enough to make viewers curious about where she had been filming.
The idea appealed to her because it gave her another way to experiment with the presentation of her videos. She could work on her dancing while also thinking about the scenery, camera angles, and overall appearance of each clip.
She hasn’t claimed to be an expert at Jumpstyle. She’s still practicing, improving her technique, and working towards becoming more confident with the movements.
For now, learning is part of the experience.
The RomancePlanet Moment She Won’t Forget
One of BonkoKid’s favorite experiences since becoming involved with Jumpstyle happened on TikTok.
RomancePlanet, one of the creators who had inspired her interest in the dance, came across one of her videos and liked it.
It was a small interaction on the platform, but an exciting one for Mira. Having someone she admired discover her content was memorable, especially while she was still developing her own skills.
She hadn’t expected it, and the experience gave her an encouraging moment to look back on as she continued posting.
Why BonkoKid Doesn’t Want to Stick to One Niche
A look across BonkoKid’s social media accounts reveals different sides of her personality.
Her TikTok is primarily associated with dance, particularly Jumpstyle. Instagram is where she shares more of her everyday life, while her YouTube channel gives her room to explore gaming.
She’s also interested in cars, Formula 1, volleyball, badminton, and pickleball.
That range of interests explains why she describes herself as an “all you can watch creator.”
Mira doesn’t want every video she makes to follow the same formula. If she feels like experimenting with gaming content, she wants to be able to do that. If she discovers something new that interests her, she doesn’t see a reason to keep it separate from her online identity.
It’s a flexible approach, particularly at a time when many creators are encouraged to concentrate on a specific niche.
BonkoKid is more interested in trying things out and seeing where they lead.
Plans to Make Her Own Hard Dance Music
Music is another area Mira hopes to explore more seriously.
Having developed an interest in hard dance through Jumpstyle, she would eventually like to create tracks of her own.
She’s interested in working with a beatmaker who understands the kind of energetic sound she enjoys. Ideally, she’d like to make music she can dance and sing to, bringing those interests together in her future content.
For now, it’s an ambition rather than an established music career, but it’s something she wants to pursue.
She has also spoken about wanting to become a more charitable person and use her growing online presence to have a positive influence on others.
Her own experiences have made her particularly interested in encouraging people to be comfortable with their personalities.
After spending years trying to fit into a quieter, more reserved image, Mira knows how much social expectations can affect the way someone behaves.
She wants people who come across her content to feel comfortable trying different things and expressing themselves without worrying so much about how others might react.
BonkoKid is still relatively new to Jumpstyle, having started in early 2025, and there’s a great deal she wants to learn. She’s practicing her dancing, experimenting with different filming locations, posting across several platforms, and considering what making her own music might look like.
Whether her next video involves Jumpstyle, gaming, or something entirely different, she seems happy to leave those options open.
For someone who once thought being cool meant keeping quiet, that’s a considerable change.
