EMMANUEL RODRIGUEZ
DIRECTOR | INSTRUCTOR
Born and bred in a small country town in Orange NSW, Emmanuel had a passion to succeed in Dance. Through hard work and perseverance, a spot in the Top 20 of ‘So You Think You Can Dance Australia’ kick started his dance career. After joining various dance groups and competing in many dance competitions, doors finally opened and a new dance crew was created. ‘Justice Crew’ was formed and competed in Australia's Got Talent, becoming the first dance crew to win AGT in 2010. More opportunities arose for the group, landing them a Sony contract resulting in various multi platinum hit singles. Through these opportunities, doors opened individually for Emmanuel and he hosted Red Bull Media House’s, 10th BC ONE World Breakdancing competition, allowing the viewers a taste of the Hip Hop culture throughout various countries such as New York, Japan and Korea.
After leaving ‘Justice Crew’ to pursue a solo career in the entertainment industry, Emmanuel is now dedicated more than ever, to pursue his ultimate dream of continuing to be an artist and expanding his abilities to become a multi-skilled entertainer.
