JD was Top 11 finalist on the first ever season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE where he wowed Australia with what Jason Coleman describes as “chocolate, velvet, honey, smooth” hip hop choreography. JD’s ‘understated’ and ‘honest’ style evoked so much emotion that it had Matt Lee saying “That was the best Hip Hop choreography I’ve seen come through the competition” and JD was reigned as “the Gene Kelly of Hip Hop” by judge and industry professional Jason Coleman. On first glance it may be easy to assume that JD is an overnight success story. However with a long list of credits too long to mention, it has been a lifetime of passion and determination that has enabled this entertainer to focus on creating his own authentic style of movement and establish a sense of identity within the wider dance community.
