MEET BEAU FOURNIER
While growing up in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, little did this total "valley boy" think dance would be his passion.At the late age of 19, Beau Fournier started dance and instantly fell in love with it. It wasn’t just the pure fun of it, but it was the movement, the creative processes, and the music that led him to believe there is so much more to dance. And now at 25, dance has enabled him to be himself while challenging him everyday. He has been able to work with great people, travel, and share his love with others. He is currently signed with DDO Artist's Agency and Artist's International and some of his credits include: Angel Faith Vh1 Save the Music Tour, Paula DeAnda, Diet Pepsi, Carnival Choreographers Ball, The Secret Life of An American Teenager, MTV Video Music Awards, and MTV's Americas Best Dance Crew.
