Eddie Elliott

The art of dance for Eddie Elliott derives from his initial training in hip-hop and subsequent discovery of 'contemporary dance'. With a degree in performing and screen arts, Eddie has taken his passion for the art of dance to a whole new level.

He's already been around the world to places like Rome & Italy, and returned recently from Canada, places that many of us can only dream about. More than that, he's only young, so we're going to see alot more of him on the national and international stage.
