Dan has been on the Street Dance scene for many years having discovered his passion for it 11 years ago. Since then he has been trained by some of the best in the industry, choreographing for artists and performing at concerts, in videos and on tours.
A founding member of world renound Street Dance group Peridot, he has had the opportunity to perform with his crew at events, video shoots and television appearances since its inception in 2005, along with appearing at and triumphing in various competitions. Peridot are the current UK Hip Hop Dance Champions, a title which they intend to defend for a third consecutive year in 2010. Their success last year saw them returning again to Las Vegas where they represented the UK at the World Hip Hop Championships.
Most recently they have featured on the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent and the live shows of BBC Three’s ‘Move Like Michael Jackson’, where they performed in front of Michael’s brother Jermaine alongside some of the best Street Dance acts in the country, while picking up choreography from Lavelle Smith Jnr, Michael’s lead dance choreographer for over 23 years.
In addition to this Dan has performed at venues such as Sadlers Wells as part of their Breakin’ Convention and at the O2 Arena where the group performed a set for rap artist Kano. Peridot are also sponsored by Adidas through which Dan has taken part in various advertising campaigns. He also has his own weekly Street Dance class and works in Youth Clubs, helping occupy them and engaging the young people he works with in the activites available to them.
