Jonathon Chan

When he was younger, Jonathon always thought “it would be cool” to learn how to break dance. Somewhere along the line, his interest in dance landed him in the world of Latin dancing. His first experience of Latin dancing was at a social dance night while catching up with friends, where he found Salsa fun and challenging. Shortly after, Jonathon joined a social dance group at university.

Jonathon’s earliest dance memories are from primary school physical education classes, learning how to square dance, and dancing to “Greased Lightning” for the school play. Jonathon’s strangest dance gig was performing with a university dance troupe at a college party.

When not dancing, Jonathon likes playing a social game of poker. (“It doesn’t have to be for money, the bragging rights are more than enough motivation.”) He enjoys going to the beach to swim, surf and relax, playing strategic board games such as chess and go, or an odd video game once in a blue moon.

 “I love to eat. Whether it be breakfast, second breakfast, morning tea, brunch, lunch, second lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, after dinner chocolate, after after dinner chocolate cake or supper. I just love eating.”

Jonathon likes hip hop and pop music; some of his favourite artists are Justin Timberland and T. I. Since he started dancing Jonathon has also particularly taken a liking to DJ Mafie Zouker music.
