**Nick Geurts** Hometown: Melbourne, Australia **Tell us a bit about your dance history:** I started dancing at age 16 trained in all styles Jazz contemporary hip hop ballet a bit of tricking and flips, I started working professionally when I was 19 in Australia for a few years then after being a finalist on "So You Think You Can Dance" (Australia 2010), I moved to London and worked consistently through Europe for 2 years doing TV shows fashion/hair shows live artist performances and many other things before moving to Los Angeles. I have been living and working in LA for 2 years and have had the opportunity to work with some incredible artists travel the world and do what I love. **How do you prepare to go on stage?** Obviously warm up a few stretches and push ups try to get pumped haha. It's important to find what works best for you as an individual sometimes need to zone out and relax but always make time to say a prayer and be thankful for the opportunity to step onto that stage. **What’s your favorite part of traveling?** We don't get a lot of time in each city but we do get a taste of places you might like to go back to. Meeting locals and getting to know the culture of different countries and experiencing each city for what makes it unique wether it's food or architecture or landscape so many amazing things. **What do you do on your day off?** Usually go to the gym and explore whatever city I am in take some time to experience that city I eat a lot so am always going for food :-) **Favorite Gaga song:** Paparazzi and Gypsy **If I weren’t dancing, I would be:** Snowboarding living in the mountains somewhere… **Any special message to Little Monsters?** Yes to all the little monsters out there please know that you all inspire us so much, your stories your talents your dedication! We all started with a dream also so regardless of where you come from if you work hard you really can achieve anything. I only know this because I have seen it happen in my life no one said it would be easy but it is worth it! Something that got me through some tough times was "your pain is preparation for your destiny." Remember just be YOU #MeetTheDancers #InsidetheartRAVE #TheARTPOPBall
