Welcome to the official site of Joel 'JD' de Carteret - your number one source.

JD was Top 12 finalist on the first season of So You Think You Can Dance Australia where he wowed Australia with what Jason Coleman describes as "chocolate, velvet, honey, smooth" hip hop choreography. JD's 'understated' and 'honest' style evoked so much emotion that had Matt Lee saying "That was the best Hip Hop choreography I've seen come through the competition" and Jason Coleman saying "Our competition is so much richer for your involvement".

Since the show JD has appeared as a celebrity choroegrapher on Airtime 'Panjo All Stars and Dancing With The Stars "Paul & Eliza".

He featured as a main actor, creative and choreography consultant in 'Raise The Bar' in the MTV 180 competition and is soon to feature as "Tweak" on ABC's new TV series 'Dance Academy'. He also just recently hosted the Australian Hip Hop Championships Finale at Crown Casino and has just recently made Top 100 in the Channel [V] Presenter Search.

Check out what JD is up to, his latest projects, classes & workshops, videos, gallery and much more! Make sure to join the official JD Facebook group and check out www.facebook.com/gojdgo.
