Kedric Bateman is a Las Vegas–based dancer and choreographer whose foundation in ballet and tap evolved into a focused passion for modern dance, particularly the Horton technique. A graduate of the Las Vegas Academy Dance Department and former competition dancer with Inspire Dance Co., he trained under renowned educators including Robert Contreras, Tara Foy, Thomas DiSabato, and Jeneane Huggins. He performed professionally for seven years with Contemporary West Dance Theatre, touring nationally in works by Donald Byrd, Vernard J. Gilmore, Don Bellamy, Ulysses Dove, and Alvin Ailey.
