Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Adrian Bennett began training in dance at the age of 7 under the influential eye of his aunt Vanessa-Jayne Bennett, head of the A.I.D.T (Association of International Dance Teachers) which paved the way for his professional career. Adrian was accepted into the ISVP (International Student Visa Program) at the world-renowned Broadway Dance Centre (one of the world’s most prestigious training facilities for professional performers) in New York City where he had the honour of receiving the accolade of outstanding student and trained under many distinguished faculty including Debbie Wilson, Heather Rigg, Lane Napper and more. 

Adrian performed at the prestigious LIDO de Paris, in France in the extravagant show “Paris Merveilles” which was created and directed by Franco Dragone, creator of Cirque Du Solei as well as Celine Dion’s show, A New Day at Caesars Palace and La Reve at the Wynn Casino Las Vegas. Adrian’s talents lead him to perform the featured role as the CanCan Soloist.

A highlight for Adrian was being cast as the featured soloist in the brand-new show “BORN TO DANCE” created by the Oscar®, Grammy® and Tony® award-winning composer of Wicked, Godspell and Pippin, Stephen Schwartz.
