Hip Hop Instructors

Luis Pinto

Luis's love of dance began at the age of 10, inspired by idols like John Travolta, and of course the late king of pop, Michael Jackson. After years of teaching himself to dance, he entered the Channel 10 National Star Search competition and won the Grand Final in the dance category.  That was the launching pad for Luis' dancing career.  From there he went on to play the lead role of Michael Jackson in the Jupiters Casino show 'Hollywood Legends'. Luis Pinto has made countless television appearances, dancing on such show as the Coca-Cola Music Awards and the RAQ Fashion Design Awards, and has choreographed dance shows both nationally and internationally. His proudest accomplishment is the Mega Jam Street Dance Instructional DVD set.
