Cole is overjoyed to be making his judging debut back in his hometown. Cole started his performance training here with Theatre Whakatane, where he is credited for winning the Best Choreography award for his work on “Evita – the musical” before going on to graduate the New Zealand Institute of Applied Creativity with a Diploma of Performing Arts (Dance).
After Graduating, he travelled to Los Angeles to pursue an international dance career with the illustrious Princess Cruises Entertainment Team. Three years later he has now returned home after working as a professional dancer in over 80 countries around the world and is looking forward to seeing these fantastic volunteers demonstrate their newfound flare for the arts.
Cole would like to remind everyone that, “Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion”.
