NICK BASS BIO
Nick Bass is one of the most versatile dancers today.
Hip Hop is only a small aspect of his talents.
From performing himself to teaching kids all over the world, his versatility makes him one of the most requested dancers.
Nick performed with Janet Jackson at her famous Superbowl halftime show and continued the next 2 years with Janet appearing on SNL, Will & Grace, Ryan Seacrest, Good Morning America, Jay Leno and the BET Awards.
Nick can also be seen on her “All Night” video. This past year Nick helped promote Nelly Furtado’s new CD “Loose” by performing on “The View”, CD
USA, TRL, Jay Leno and this season of “So You Think You Can Dance”.
He also performed a second time on the show with Ciara.
Nick has performed with Omarion doing his videos “Oh”, “Touch”, & “Entourage” and live on Regis and Kelly, Soul Train, The Apollo, TRL, 106th and Park, Jay Leno and the BET Awards.
Nick has performed with Beyonce at the NBA All Star game, and the Grammy’s, as well as dancing with Usher in her “Naughty Girl” video.
He opened the AMA’s with
Brittany Spears and appeared in her video “Me Against the Music”.
Most recently he opened the VMA’s
with Justin Timberlake and can be seen in “My Love” video whom he toured with in 2007.
Recital Information
Recital time is very important to your child. The hard work and dedication your child has poured into perfecting a routine will be evident on stage. Dancers look forward to this outlet as a means of showing their families all they have learned. Recital's promote goal setting, confidence building, and performance opportunity. Your child is the "star" of the day at the Elite Recital!
