Sisco Gomez
BIOGRAPHY
Details
Sisco Gomez was born in London in 1985, and comes from a Latino heritage. Following in the footsteps of his dancer mother, he began to perform at the age of 11, attending the Westminster Dance Scene, the Sylvia Young Theatre School and Pineapple Performing Arts School.
In 2001 he joined the Hip Hop company Culture Shock, and later went to Los Angeles, New York and various countries around Europe to master different styles of Hip Hop & Jazz Funk.
At 16 he was cast as a dancer in Zoonation's Box Beat show at the Lilian Baylis Theatre, Sadlers Wells, before touring Europe as the youngest member of Bounce - The Street Dance Sensation.
From 2003 to 2009 Sisco was Artistic Director of Dance 2xs, which trains dancers in Hip Hop, Tap, Contemporary, Locking/Popping, Jazz Funk and Musical Theatre. He has also worked commercially with artists such as Janet Jackson, Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Alexandra Burke.
"We're looking for Britain's favourite dancer so the winner has to be likeable; they have to make the public pick up the phone and vote for them. I'll be looking for personality - I don't want to see dry boots on stage". And he warns: "This year the dancers are going to be tested from all angles. They're going to get no sleep because they have to practise and perfect their routines! But it's all going to be worth it because they're going to learn so much."
