At age 11, adamvesperman was ushered into an impromptu audition for Billy Elliot: The Musical at a West Coast Dance Explosion Nationals. After a few intense audition days in New York City, Vesperman landed the role on London’s West End, launching the professional dance career he’s pursued ever since.

At 14, he moved back to his home state, Washington, where he met formative mentors and commercial choreographers, including tessandrachavez and kylehanagami. As high school came to a close, Vesperman didn’t initially plan on college. But, after receiving a scholarship to usckaufman, he moved to Los Angeles, where he balanced his college workload with his budding commercial career.

Vesperman graduated in 2020 with a BFA in dance and a minor in occupational therapy, and has worked with prominent artists, including Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Karol G, Phoebe Bridgers, and Sia. Most recently, he completed a tour with Sabrina Carpenter.
