We are also pleased to share that Mr. Matthew Grassa will be dancing in the role of  Coffee in the Saturday 2:00 and 6:30 performances. Matthew joined Beat Addikts United as a dancer and received a scholarship for his accomplishments throughout his very first season. He eventually became Captain of their Beat Performance Team performing with his Crew across the tri-state area. Matthew was also the Lead Host and Editor of their YouTube channel pre-pandemic. Beat Addikts United pushed Matthew as a dancer by working with multiple talented and respected choreographers in the business; thus instilling his passion for choreography as well as creative use of music and music editing. He’s embarked upon multiple facets of teaching and choreographing in the area. From choreographing for high school musicals, backup dancing for professional entertainment, as well as teaching at multiple studios in the Tri-state area. We are excited to have him as a part of our cast this year.
