JT Church Bio

(American Jazz Dancer and Social Media Personality)

Birthday: January 17, 2006 (Capricorn)

Born In: Haymarket, Virginia, United States

In the age of Internet, it has become very easy for artists from various backgrounds to gain quick stardom. Instead of focusing just on quick stardom, some artists want to build a good long-term career by making good use of social media channels like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. One such artist who has cleverly utilized all the modern social media channels to grow his fame is JT Church. He is a gifted child, who started showing interest in dancing at a very young age. As he was born in Virginia, there were not many dance schools (unlike in Hollywood) where he could hone his dancing skills. Hence, he started learning dance in his home. He was just five years old, when he started showing professional dancing skills. His parents were convinced by his potential and eventually sent him to the famous but expensive Gainesville Dance Center. He soon started participating in some local dance competitions organized by local schools and colleges. However, he rose to stardom only when he participated in and won a place in a major television reality show that focuses on dancing.

What Makes JT Church So Special

One main reason which makes him stand out from the other dancing stars of his age is that he has mastered some of the most difficult dance moves at a very young age. This makes it possible for him to compete even against some of the stars who are much older than him. The second is his focus on a dance form that is not much popular these days, viz. Jazz, which differentiates him from his contemporaries.

He is said to have good relations with his dancing partners and other stars while he was participating in the TV dance competitions.

In the year 2014, he participated in a charitable dance event, organized for the benefit of breast cancer patients called ‘20th Annual Dancing for a Cure.’ Other stars in the ‘So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation’ show have also participated in the event. The event was a big success and helped in raising lot of funds for the breast cancer patients.
Behind The Curtains

Looking at JT Church’s interest in dance, his parents sent him to Gainesville Dance Center in Virginia. The Center is the largest dance training institute in Virginia and boasts of some of the best dancers in USA as its Alumni. But the institute is very expensive. He got a very good beginning in dance after studying there. His brother, Bradley Church, is a skateboarder and does not show any interest in dancing.
