Hip Hop

Originally from Europe, Cedric Botelho brings a unique energy and vision to the dance industry nationwide and to IAX. Influenced by dance hall, hip-hop, and pop culture, his work is diverse and reflects his passion to create something fresh and unparalleled.

Soon after moving to Los Angeles, Cedric began dancing and performing for top artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Chris Brown, David Guetta, Jermaine Jackson, Lil Kim, and R. Kelly. He has also appeared in national and international commercials for Xbox, Party City, and Happy Socks (David Lachapelle).

After assisting numerous choreographers, Cedric began co-choreographing for Jojo, Will Smith, Kelis, and Erika Jayne.

He is currently developing his artistry as an up-and-coming choreographer and director. His own work is receiving worldwide attention, recently choreographing music videos and live performances for American and Latin artists (Flo-Rida, T-Pain, Christina Milian, Wisin and Yandel, Chino y nacho, Maluma, Don Omar, Luny tunes…). His creativity also allowed him to bring his vision to life into dance competitions, movies and for some influencers like Trisha Paytas, Ricky Dillon, or Patrick Starr.

Cedric loves to teach and bring life to studios and to his students. He encourages dancers to “dance for fun, cause it’s fun to dance!”

Cedric is elated to be a part of IAX and is ready to dance with you!
