Anthony Ray Martinez

Growing up in Southern California I started dancing at the age of five. At the age of 14 I started to choreograph and compete with my high schools dance team. Winning multiple solo awards and group championships. After high school I moved from LA to Orange County to be a part of a dance team from UC Irvine called Common Ground where I was appointed to be the artistic director for 3 years. During this time I was also running a side project called Griminalz, and danced for the company Maker Empire. I’ve since been teaching urban choreography at multiple studios in Southern California. Currently still dancing for Maker Empire and one of the artistic directors for Hall of Fame dance team.
