Justin Badding began his dance training at the age of 6 in Iowa. He spent several years at a young age competing in the convention / competition circuit winning top awards and scholarships.

He took additional courses in contemporary, hip hop, tap, improve, musical theater, teaching methods, kinesiology, injury prevention, and yoga.
