Eddejay Santos is a young optimist who is very passionate about the arts. He has learned that he could use the arts as a tool for positive motivation and growth. He works with youth as a health educator/actor with the theatre company called Choices Know the Facts and has toured with them to Vegas, Hawaii, and soon, Florida. Besides acting, he coaches Basset High School’s dance team and is also a dance instructor for Artshare L.A. Using dance as a driving force, he has created ADC (Artshare Dance Crew) to motivate and inspire youth through the art of dance. His dance training includes jazz, modern, house, breaking, hip-hop, and locking. He favors house style because of the fancy footwork. He feels dance is an escape from reality, helping people get out of their own head and letting the soul speak for itself. He enjoys reading and writing, the color green, being random, and dreams of becoming one of the greatest dancers of his time. His goal is to use his imagination to prosper beyond his own measure.
