CJ Salvador is a highly regarded dancer and choreographer perhaps best known for dancing alongside the likes of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. He has performed with them live and appeared as a dancer on shows such as The Voice and at the likes of the Billboard Music Awards. He also appeared in the video for Bieber and Travis Scott’s 2020 single ‘Second Emotion’ and Prince’s 2013 single ‘Breakfast Can Wait’. Those videos alone have brought his talents to millions of viewers, but it’s his choreographed videos that have won him his biggest audience. Filmed in some of America’s best dance studios, Salvador leads other dancers through breathtaking routines set to all kinds of modern hip-hop and R&B music.
Growing up in Illinois, Salvador was hooked on dancing from a young age, taking tap dance classes at the age of 10. Inspired by great dancers and singers like Michael Jackson, he dreamed of one day becoming a boy band star. That dream fell by the wayside as he trained in hip-hop dancing and committed himself to reaching peak physical fitness through dancing, boxing, and other sports. In 2011, he relocated southeast to Los Angeles, hoping to break into the entertainment industry. He’s been there ever since and got one of his first big breaks when he was employed to dance on a Selena Gomez tour.
Two of Salvador’s biggest choreography hits to date have been a routine performed with Alexander Chung to Chris Brown’s ‘Pills and Automobiles’ and one performed to Justin Bieber’s ‘I’ll Show You’. Between them, the videos have notched up over 19 million views to date, putting Salvador at the forefront of modern dancing.
