 CountryAustralia - Season 3 Eliminated on: April 1, 2010 - Top 6 AGE: 18 HOMETOWN: Melbourne, VIC DANCING STYLE: Ballrom, Ballet DANCING SINCE: 8 years old OCCUPATION: Dancer Keiran studied ballet at the Victorian College of the Arts but also trained outside in the style off ballroom. He prides himself on his hardworking attitude and his 'Do anything' passion for dance. Jason Gilkison is a strong influence of Kierans but it was Li Cunxin's emotional dance story (Now the popular film Mao's Last Dancer) that truly inspired the 18 year old. He's looking forward to trying his hand at hip hop, as it will be the biggest challenge to his skills. Q & AGoing back to the first audition, did you have any idea back then that you would be in the Top 20? My first audition was a very stressful time for me as I was also studying for my VCE exams which took place the next week. I didn’t really think about making the top 20. All I wanted to do was to dance my best, get through the next round without falling over. How did you feel when you realised you made it through and how does it compare to getting in the top 100? When I made the top 20, I felt the biggest sense of relief, shock and excitement. What makes it special is that you have gone down to the top 100 out of thousands to being the top 20 out of thousands. Do you have any skeletons in the closet that you’d like to expose now, before a trashy magazine does? I am pretty boring when it comes to those kinds of things, so I doubt a trashy magazine would have anything on me? Describe as best you can, what dancing means to you! The equation that best represents how simple dancing means to me LOVE + PASSION + LIFE = KIERANS DANCING What would you do for a place in the top 4? Hire a hit man, just joking. I would dig very deep so that I can give everything I have and more, in order to get that far and further in the competition Favourite past season dancer? Last years winner, Talia, would be my favourite past season dancer. I say her because she showed versatility so well and the way she peaked at the right time. Favourite musical style? I listen to all kinds of music because you never know what music you’re going to be dancing to next. My playlist include everything from Bon Jovi to Beyonce. Favourite holiday destination? Ever since I was young I always went to my aunties and cousins house in Somerville, Victoria for a few nights. I go down and catch up with my family and I find it a very relaxing way to just stay away from dancing for some time Are you a cat or dog person? I have had both a cat and a dog before. At the moment I have a dog who is my best mate. What star sign are you? Virgo Are you superstitious? I believe things happen for a reason What one thing you would change about your self if you could and why? I wish I could be a few inches taller but other than that I am pretty happy with myself What superhero power do you wish you had and why? I wish I had the ability to turn into any animal I want. I would like to turn into a fly so that I could be a fly on the wall What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? “Someone else’s failure is your success……” Who was your first celebrity crush? The celebrity I remember growing up most would be the Spice Girls. What are you most looking forward to about being in the top 20? I can’t wait to start the whole SYTYCD journey. I am really eager to work with all the choreographers and other dancers. The very scary prospect of dancing to thousands of viewers. I also can’t wait to show the people who criticised the program and said I would be stupid to go on, how wrong they were. Who do you think is the best dancer of all time? My dance idols would be Baryshnikov, Donnie Burns, Jason Gilkison, and Ethan Stiefel | Performances / Videos Couples PerformancesTop 20Partner: Carly Cooper SmithStyle: Contemporary Choreographer(s): Sarah Boulter Song: "Furious Angels" by Rob Dougan Top 18Partner: Carly Cooper SmithStyle: Broadway Choreographer(s): Cameron Mitchell Song: "The Tennis Song" from City Of Angels Top 16Partner: Carly Cooper SmithStyle: Waltz Choreographer(s): Aric & Masha Song: "Hushabye Mountain" by Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Top 14Partner: Carly Cooper SmithStyle: Contemporary Choreographer(s): Debbie Ellis Song: "Ne Me Quitte Pas" by Sting Top 12Partner: Carly Cooper SmithStyle: Salsa Choreographer(s): Luda & Oliver Song: "Shake It" by The Potbelleez Top 12Partner: Carly Cooper SmithStyle: Hip-Hop Choreographer(s): Yannus Sufandi Song: "Ordinary People" by John Legend Top 10Partner: Jess StokesStyle: Samba Choreographer(s): Carmelo Pizzino Song: "Pop Goes The World" by Gossip Top 10Partner: Jess StokesStyle: Hip-Hop Choreographer(s): Juliette "Jet" Verne Song: "Put It In A Love Song" by Alicia Keys feat.
