Wade J. Robson

Wade Robson is 26 years old.

At the age of 3 Wade was memorizing the dance steps of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. At 5 Wade was dancing in competitions and performing in front of large crowds with Michael Jackson himself.  By the time he was 9 he had appeared in three of Michael Jackson's videos: "Black or White," "Jam" and "Heal the World."

More performances and television spots were followed by music writing & production, acting, choreography and becoming a dance teacher. When he turned 16 he was requested to choreograph for Britney Spears. He directed her stage show, remixed the music, directed the video segments and designed the sets. When he was 21 he got his own show on MTV, "The Wade Robson Project", and has most recently been a judge and choreographer for the FOX show So You Think You Can Dance.

He certainly is one amazing person

So You Think You Can Dance 

Wade and his wife Amanda choreographed a dance for the first show with the Top 20 dancers (June 10th). It was a "Jazz" number for Kupono & Ashley. The quotes are because it wasn't like any jazz routine you've ever seen before. Really out-there and amazing. I'll try to post a video or at least a link to one as soon as it's up on the web.

Got it...the first posted video for the Crash Test Dummie dance by Wade on Rickey.org.
Just scroll down the page a little.

What's Wade up to? 



Wade Robson is the choreographer of Criss Angel's Cirque Du Soleil show at the Luxor Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

On the CREATORS page of Believe's website he's quoted as saying "A lot of the style, the emotion behind the movement, is really primal and raw. The dance is character and story driven and that is my most favorite place to create from."

Visit the official site of CRISS ANGEL Believe.

You can find tickets on StubHub.
