About Shaun Brady

Shaun Brady was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He started off at a dance studio called Jeanettes School of Dance where he trained in hip-hop and acting for 3 years. After spending 3 years at Jeanettes School of Dance he went off to study gymnastics for 7-8 years which then led him into exploring the art form of contortion, and acrobatics leaving the gymnastics art form behind. Over the summer while he was younger, he studied at a musical theater camp to help him re attach to the art form so he could work on his theater, dance, and singing skills.

At 12, he found a new dance studio called Creative Force Dance Center where he started learning acrobatics and contemporary dance technique. The following year, at 13, he joined the competitive dance team where he studied other styles like jazz, hip-hop, and musical theater. During his time at Creative Force Dance Center, he got the opportunity to go to Massachusetts to take pictures for Turn It Up Dance Challenge in 2019. He stayed at Creative Force Dance Center for 4 years, as he was going into his 5th year covid happened he decided to switch studios to gain more knowledge to push his career in dance.

Shaun Brady joined the competition team right away at Power Up Dance center. He danced at this studio for 3 years where he finally started off his training in ballet for a little bit of a year before his injury. Power up Dance Center gave me many opportunities where he got to take class and learn dances from Victor Smalley, Brittnay Hall, Mollee Gray, Courtney Thurston, Britt Stewart, and many other talented artists in the field. Power up dance Center also gave him the opportunity to compete at the dance awards in Orlando allowing his training to expand in many more styles like jazz fusion, contemporary fusion, jazz funk, lyrical, and so many more. Power up Dance Center allowed him to even create his own artistic voice by his senior year of high school allowing him to create his own solos for competitions called “The Voices” and “The Shape Shifter” Which both have won entertainment awards within the competition industry for the creepiness and dedication to the character in the performance.

Artistic Statement

I am a fusion artist who blends contemporary and acrobatic movement with influences from a variety of dance styles. My work exists where technique meets risk, balancing strength, fluidity, and emotion to create movement that is both athletic and expressive.

Driven by a desire to inspire and connect, I strive to move audiences not only through physicality but through genuine emotion and authentic storytelling. Every piece I create is designed to surprise, challenge expectations, and leave a lasting impression. I am constantly exploring new ways to push creative boundaries, redefine movement, and evolve beyond what is familiar.
