Rhiannon Villareal

Teacher

Rhiannon was one of the TOP TEN dancers on Ten’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE in 2008. Rhiannon Villareal began dance classes when she was just two years old. She started dance classes at Brent Street when she was 11 and then trained full time at Brent Street’s Talent Development High School, which gave her the confidence to pursue performing as a professional career. She was a semi-finalist in Australia’s Got Talent, performing with a dance group called Raptous. She performed on Mornings with Kerri-Anne, at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award and the Australian and New Zealand Urban Music Awards. She was part of a TV series called Dare to Dance, which followed four performers’ lives for nine weeks whilst training at Brent Street. And she’s no stranger to the world of video clips either, having performed in big-budget clips for Aussie pop acts Rogue Traders, Girl Band, Nikki Webster and Young Divas. She was even part of Michael Jackson’s HISTORY tour in 1996, where she got to give him a rose as part of the act and he kissed her forehead (“I didn’t wash it for a week!”). Rhiannon loves all styles of dancing but feels most comfortable with the sharp, fluid moves of Jazz.
