Graden Hodgins

Mr. Graden

Hip-Hop

Graden is a 23 year old Waterdown Dancers Inc. alumni whose love for hip-hop began at age 8. Growing up in the studio, he performed in countless competitive numbers, often choreographing his own solos and duets. Outside of the studio he choregraphed and taught his high school hip-hop team. Beyond dance he has obtained a Grade 8 RCM piano certification, and appeared in television commercials.

Graden started teaching hip-hop in 2019, sharing his passion and skills with the next generation of dancers. After taking a break in 2021 to pursue an engineering degree, he’s excited to be back where it all began. Waterdown Dancers Inc. has always been more than just a studio for Graden; it’s the place that helped him break out of his shell, grow his confidence, and discover the joy of performing.

When he’s not in the studio, Graden works at an engineering and construction firm, on the path to obtaining his professional engineering license.
