Edson Maldonado was born and raised in Paterson, NJ.
He grew up around people of different cultures and
backgrounds which in turn helped shape his way of
moving and interpretation of music. In 2011, he
auditioned for and became a member of New Jersey's,
Project D Dance Company. Furthering his training
more seriously with a competitive team, Edson
eventually became a co-artistic director helping lead
Project D to multiple 1st place performances. After
stepping down, Edson began to focus his energy into
helping push the community forward. Currently he is
represented by MSA Talent Agency in New York and
teaches weekly classes at Exile Professional Gym
(EXPG). He hopes that anyone that takes his class will
be challenged both mentally and physically and leave
with a new sense of growth, purpose, and inspiration
