who is josh beauchamp
Joshua Kyle Beauchamp is a Canadian-American dancer and choreographer. He represents Canada in the global pop group Now United. He began his career at local dance competitions, becoming part of big groups like NXG Company and the dance company ImmaBEAST.
Josh's career began as a child when his mother took him to dance lessons. At first, he says he sat out of the first month of school because he was afraid to get up and try to do anything. During his time in dance schools, he says it was a very difficult and lonely time because he suffered a lot of bullying and exclusion from his colleagues. After all, people expected him to play hockey, like every Canadian kid and said that dancing was a sport dominated only by women.
“In Canada, every boy es expected to play hockey. Just hockey, hockey hockey. But i was a dancer so it was hard at times. There was some bullying a little bit. “Dancing is female dominated sport” or thing. So they would call me names. They didn’t like what i was doing. I changed school at one point. I had dance friends that were boys as well. And i thought those people would be like me group like my people that i could be with because their boys in the dances as well. I thought they would be there for me a lot. But that wasn’t really the case either, they started leaving me out of it. It was just lonely time” - Josh Beauchamp.
Beauchamp is often referred to as a dancer because his career started in 2006, since then he is seen as such. Despite his years of dancing, Josh also sings.
Josh was contacted to travel to Los Angeles for Now United auditions. He narrowly missed the project, because just like Noah Urrea, he had signed up to represent the United States, his mother's country, thus competing with one of the best friends he made in the boot camp held in California. However, when the project's creator, Simon Fuller learned that Josh was actually Canadian, like his father, he decided to put him in the group to represent his country of origin
