The legend of Wade

Wade Robson is an amazing choreographer, performer, director, and so many things. He is famous for his work with Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and Emmy-award winning choreography on FOX’s SO You Think You Can Dance. He also travels around the United States sharing his talents with people all over through workshops and such.

Wade Robson was born in Brisbane, Australia September seventeenth 1982. When he was four years old, he loved the music video of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and learned the dance perfectly. By age five he became a professional dancer around Australia. When Michael Jackson went to Australia, there was a lookalike contest. The prize was to meet Michael Jackson. Wade entered this contest and won. When he met Michael, he danced for him. Michael was so impressed that he invited Wade to join him on stage at his concert the next day. This marked the beginning of Michael and Wade’s friendship. When Wade was eight, he appeared on Australia’s TV show Star Search. At the age of nine, wade decided to move to the United States to further his dancing career with the help of Michael Jackson.

By that time, Wade had appeared in many music videos of Michael’s. He also was featured in commercials, movies, and TV shows like Full House. When he was twelve, he decided that he wanted to teach dance. He became a teacher at the famous Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood, California. He became their “rock star teacher” and his classes were always full. At the age of fourteen, he got his first professional choreography gig with the group Immature. (haha funny because he worked with Immature when he was only fourteen…) His work with this group and other like things caught the eye of Britney Spears. Wade had started to develop his own style of dance accompanied by his own mixed music.
