Adriano Cassaniti

 Adriano started his dancing career at a very young age, training in all different styles such as tap, jazz, ballet, and ballroom. He eventually found his feet in Hip Hop where he flourished as a natural performer. In 2018 he completed 2 years of fulltime dance training, obtaining his Cert IV in Dance with Village Nation. During this time he had also taken part in the ONE ILL Project run by the O’Neill Twins, to help further his training and strengthen his ability. 

Since the age of 11, Adriano had a strong passion for competition, competing in crews and as a soloist in competitions such as World Supremacy Battlegrounds, Australia’s Best Dance Crew, Australian Dance Crew Championships, and most notably Hip Hop International, a competition in which he is currently a national champion in the MiniCrew division with Cage Crew. He has also competed overseas, representing Australia and reaching the semifinal stage with adult crew Pretty Boy Swagg (16th in the world), mega crew Wolfpack (18th in the world), and Cage Crew (7th in the world). He also appeared on Australia’s Got Talent in 2019 (Pretty Boy Swagg) and 2022 (Wolfpack) also reaching the semifinal stage. As a creative he has won many choreography and music awards and has also produced gold medal work with all age divisions.

Adriano has a strong passion for teaching and giving knowledge to the next generation of dancers, he sees it as an opportunity to pass on what he has learnt, in hopes that they would then pass it on or use his knowledge to help them further their career in whatever path they choose.
