PATRON
ANTHONY IKIN
Anthony Ikin is well known for his choreography flair, unique direction and is a highly requested motivational speaker.
He began his performance career in Competitive Aerobics, where he went on to be crowned the World Aerobic Champion! Whilst training in Aerobics, he complemented this with Dance. Before he knew it, he was infamously recognised as a dancer who had a catalogue of insane acrobatic tricks. Anthony then worked for many of the top artists in the Australian music scene before moving to Paris to perform as a soloist in the world-famous cabaret, “Moulin Rouge”.
After returning to Australia, Anthony auditioned for the very first Australian season of “So You Think You Can Dance”, where he was a top 10 finalist! After a decade of wowing crowds around the globe as a performer and athlete, Anthony developed his love for choreography and creative direction. His first professional choreography role was for the internationally acclaimed Angelis Productions, specialising in production show choreography with highly esteemed shows such as ‘Pink Flamingo’, ‘Lumi Air’, ‘Zircus’ , ‘Viva Tropicana’, ‘Solaria’, and ‘The Great Moscow Circus’.
Embarking on this new adventure, Anthony spent time abroad choreographing for David Atkins Enterprises in Qatar, World Handball Championship opening and closing ceremonies, ‘Thunder Down Under’ in
Las Vegas and more! Anthony’s most recent choreographic achievement include being the Movement Director of the Sheppard film clip ‘Die Young’, the Associate choreographer for the closing ceremony of the Gold Coast’s Commonwealth Games and the Choreographer Director for the world-renowned cabaret club ‘Pink Flamingo’.
When he isn’t dancing, choreographing or public speaking, Anthony can be found living between the Gold Coast and Brisbane running his highly successful businesses Global Dance Pro and Ikin Achieve.
