Originally from the heart of Nashville, Chase Benz is a multi-talented artist and educator. A teacher, choreographer, stage director, and producer with a deep passion for live entertainment and dance. His training and dance career started at the ripe age of 7 and has pursued it
fervently ever since.
He has a wealth of teaching experience that extends across international conventions and various dance schools.

Most recently, Chase lent his artistic vision to Fox Network’s drama series, “Monarch,” starring the incomparable Susan Sarandon.
Chase’s signature style blends the rhythmic beats of hip-hop, the soulful groove of funk, and the captivating power of performance. But his mission goes beyond the dance floor. He’s committed to preparing aspiring artists for the realities of the industry, aiming to bridge the gap between the classroom and the stage. His greatest hope is that every student walks away from his class not just as better movers but as entertainers who believe in themselves and know how to have fun while doing it.
