Patrik Gallineaux is an American born stage and television performer, choreographer and producer. Originally form the United States east coast, Patrik currently resides in the great state of California, and makes San Francisco his home.

Patrik recently created the hit show "Dancing with the Drag Stars" modeled after the popular ABC TV show in conjunction with Cheryl Burke and her San Francisco based dance studio. With San Francisco superstar Donna Sachet as his co-host, Patrik is now looking forward to season 2 of DWTDS, and believes that the world is ready to see that drag talent can be every bit as if not more valid than mainstream talent. Patrik is passionate about supporting a number of important philanthropic undertakings, including the absolutely imperative repeal of Prop 8 to allow same-sex marriage in California spearheaded by Eric Ross, as well as the efforts of the Richmond-Ermet AIDS Foundation helmed by Ken Henderson and Joseph Seiler, unwaveringly determined to give back quality of life to those most afflicted by HIV/AIDS

Patrik grew up in his mother's dance studio "Dance Arts" in New York, the most popular studio in the region, celebrating nearly 30 years in operation. Patrik can be seen in the hit documentary "24 Hours on Craigslist" as well as in any number of shows on VH1 from the 1990's, and currently hosts his very own show on the Rainbow Channel (www.rainbowchannelsf.com) called "Learn to Dance Like a Star".
