DCO TEACHERS

Jamel Washington (Street Hip Hop Dancer) was a late bloomer with his dance/choreography skills, nevertheless he has conquered things that some choreographers / dancers won't conquer in a lifetime. While traveling through Japan, Korea, and Guam in 2008, teaching and choreographing for 1000's of dance thirsty individuals let Jamel know that he has something very special.

His dance journey began in 2005 by catching the eye of profound hip hop choreographer Julie Johnson. There she sharpened his street skills and turned Jamel into not only a great dancer, but a great performer and choreographer. After working with Julie for one year, he decided to go his own way and to start one of the best and most entertaining dance groups Florida has ever seen (Encore Dance Troupe). There he got his teaching experience and at the same time was being noticed by people from all over the country.

His dance troupe has travelled all across the United States performing for headlining acts and also headlining their own shows. Soon after this success, Jamel was asked to be part of a choreographer tour in 2008 that required him to travel through Japan, Korea and Guam. There he realized the eagerness and devotion the dancers gave back while he taught 8-count after 8-count, creating the desire to create Masterz in Motion.
