Performing Art – New Orleans

My name is Jordan Castillo and I am from Mandeville, Louisiana. I\'m 24 years old and I went to school at LSU for Mechanical Engineering. I am currently enrolled at UNO for a masters in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Although I am working towards progressing as an engineer, my true passion is dance. It was around 2 years ago that I decided to branch out and expose myself more to it. I realized that I was interested in the art of dance when I was much younger, but it was merely a hobby as I had other interests as well. About a year and a half ago, I fell in love with it and found myself practicing every day. I became inspired by different freestyle hip hop dancers that were on the TV show So You Think You Can Dance. I dreamt of one day being on the show myself, regardless of how far I made it. With countless hours of time and energy that I have spent towards improving my craft, I am starting to see that with practice and hard work, it IS possible and I hope to see my dream become a reality in the future!~~ My style is a form of freestyle hiphop known as animation. I love the challenging and puzzling nature that this particular type of dance personifies.
