Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Christopher Broughton began dancing at the age of 12 and never looked back. Under the instruction of Paul and Arlene Kennedy at Universal Dance, he immediately became a member of the Kennedy Tap company, world renowned and responsible for such tap greats as Derick Grant and Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, the latter of which he had the pleasure of performing as cast mates in his
first Tony, Astaire and Drama Desk Award winning Broadway show "After Midnight". Broughton's dancing has also led to National recognition with the NAACP ACT-SO Award not once, but twice. As an instructor, performer and choreographer, his art has taken him everywhere from St. Louis and Washington D.C. to Brazil, Finland, Cuba, Italy, Germany and beyond!


In 2007, hardship struck Broughton's life when he spent over a year recovering from three gunshot wounds to the left leg.

He has very much returned at the peak of his game. Since his triumph, Broughton has performed and toured the world with such greats as Emmy award winner Jason Samuels Smith, MacArthur genius award winner Michelle Dorrance Chloe Arnold, R&B singer MYA, Pattie LaBelle and Ted Levy. Broughton's company work has included national and international tours with Dorrance Dance, Magic of The Dance, Riverdance and Rasta Thomas’ "Tap Stars", as well as participating in The Cotton Club Parade at NY City Center. Christopher’s athletic choreography, courage and charisma are currently in the highest demand. Christopher Broughton owes his sincerest gratitude to his sister Chantel Heath, who introduced him to the world of dance, Tonie Nicholas, son of the legendary Fayard Nicholas, and Paul and Arlene Kennedy, without whom he wouldn't be where he is today.
