RAD Charity ambassador: Chris Fonseca

Chris is a professional dancer, mover, choreographer, teacher, creative director, and ambassador specialising in Hip Hop and Street Dance styles. Born and raised in the heart of Southeast London, Chris works extensively across the UK and overseas and often receives international invitations, funding and commissions.
Chris’s early inspiration stems from his teens and a classic 1984 ‘breakin’ dance movie. Chris is a founding member of Def Motion (2011-13), an all-deaf dance group affiliated with Deaffest - the UK’s annual Deaf Film Festival. During this time, he graduated from the University of Wolverhampton with a degree in Graphic Design. Through those years, Chris also appeared at the Paralympics opening ceremony (London 2012, UK).
The following ten years offered Chris a diverse spectrum of experiences and illuminated his talents to become a versatile dance artist and creator. More recent credits: Smirnoff, Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, CNN, CBeebies, JBL, Samsung, Facebook, BBC: The Greatest Dancers, BBC THREE: Amazing Human, Airbnb The Adapted Experience, MTV, Channel 4, RAD, and more.
