BZ Community Class - Steve and Jeff - Select

MEET STEVE ARMENDI

Steven Armendi was born in Englewood, New Jersey. Inspired by his brother Bernie Armendi at a young age, he started learning choreography in cotillions and parties. He has grown to embrace the art of dance since the age of 14.

His credits include back up dancing for Filipino artists such as Regina Velasquez and Pops Fernandez. He has trained with Future Shock New York under the guidance of Jennifer Yee and Jansen Mao as well as Ellie Burke and Dennis Caindec of CSLA. Some of his biggest influences, however, are thanks to his close friends Richard Garing, Myron Merced, and Jeff Laconico.

Steven is currently co-directing his company -- "Project D" -- based out Bergenfield, New Jersey. His main inspiration comes from those who are unique and who tend to think outside of the normal box. He currently teaches at Step By Step Dance Sport and is determined to those who want to learn something fresh and something new.

MEET JEFF LACONICO

Jeff Laconico was born in Quezon City, Philippines on July 24, 1988. He migrated to California at the age of 8, but was first introduced to the dance scene when he moved to New Jersey at the age of 16. Since then he's come to enjoy performing, but more importantly he has found major appreciation for the art of choreography.

Credits can go back to multiple college hip hop dance competitions with several different dance troupes. His biggest competition occurred when he got the chance to perform for the first ever Prelude East Coast Dance Competition in NJ. Other credits include back up dancing for Filipino artists such as Regina Velasquez and Pops Fernandez. Training credits go to his mentors from Culture Shock New York as a Future Shock NY Member while under the teaching of Culture Shock NY's Jennifer Yee and Jansen Mao as well as Ellie Burke and Dennis Caindec of Culture Shock Los Angeles.

Jeff is now a co-director for the Project D Dance Company -- created in Bergenfield, New Jersey by Bernie Armendi. He is inspired by dancers who use the art of musicality in their choreography as well as anything that is unique and innovative. He loves his company and has grown to call Project D his family. He currently teaches Project D Dance Company Classes at Step By Step Dance Sport and invites anyone who has the desire to grow as a dancer. He lives everyday by his main motto of "E.L.E." --- EVERYBODY LOVES EVERYBODY!
