Pat Planet has a knack for getting dancers to go from basic to basically amazing! Originally from New York City, Pat grew up training extensively with the industry’s leading movers & technicians at the Broadway Dance Center, Steps on Broadway, and Alvin Ailey. By the age of 17, he began dancing professionally for TV, commercials, and live stage performances. Some of his credits include Britney Spears, Weezer, Macy’s, Redbull, TEDx, Law and Order, AMF, and more. In 2022, Pat made history with the NBA Boston Celtics, debuting as one of their first male dancers. Since then, Pat has choreographed for teams in the NBA, NFL, IFL, EHL, and beyond. He has taught at universities like the Boston Conservatory, Harvard University, and Endicott College, and has partnered with Bloch as one of their Educators. Pat specializes in commercial styles like Jazz Funk, Hip-Hop, and Pro-Style.
