Gio Velez Rodriguez

That was the moment I fell in love with the dance industry. My training started on a dance academy “Dance and Art Institute, also back in Puerto Rico.

Competing in talent shows is where I grew as a dancer goin on stages getting use to the feeling I fell in love even more and I understood that that’s where I belong. That being made opportunity started one day on a dance competition and that’s how I got my first big Job. I got the chance to dance in Vico c concert in San Juan Puerto Rico. I also worked with some urban singers as a back up dancer like J alvarez, Jowel y randy, Baby Rasta y Gringo, Alexis y fido, Alexio ect.
