User:The Dancing Don

The official Dancing Don - Arlind "Dancing Don" Krasniqi, originally from Kosovo, 15 years of age and has a passion for dancing. He started to dance when he was around the age of four. He taught himself through inspirations of dancers on the street and in dance films such as Step Up and You Got Served. When Arlind became ten and a half years old, he joined an academy named "Just Dance" an academy who is very successful in being a dance school for young children and adults. The Just Dance Academy crew called "Upstartz," came 3rd in the under 17s UK Street Dance Championships 2011 Final for the teams category. The Upstartz also featured Arlind Krasniqi. Arlind also featured in many theater productions such as, The Wiz, boss of Oz an urban hip hop version of The Wizard of Oz, Arlind played the roll as the Tin-man who in the urban version was called "Rusty." Arlind has got to dance with many other famous dancers such as, the runner-up of BBC One's dance show, "So You Think You Can Dance" Tommy Franzen and Ceb from the Red Bull BBC One Show. With the Upstartz, Arlind also got to meet the X-Factor Finalists of 2011 "One Direction." For the five years of being in Just Dance Academy, Arlind dedicated his hard work to his two dance teachers/managers Laura Baldo and Jemma King, who helped him become the dancer he is today.

The name "The Dancing Don" originated from Arlind's lust for gangster/mafia movies such as Scarface (1983), The Godfather Part I (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974) and The Godfather Part III (1990). The name pictured perfectly with Arlind's persona of dance as he had a passion for dance and these mafia action based movies.

In the school Arlind went to (Quintin Kynaston - A specialist school for technology), he was known for being the dancer, everyone would always call him The Dancing Don whenever his friends walk past to say hello.
