Gordon Hart was born in Calgary, Alberta to a family of dancers. His
mom, Maureen Hart, was one of the original 'Young Canadians' of the
legendary Calgary Stampede. He received the majority of his dance
training from his mom but studied at the National Ballet School of
Canada as well. Gordon competed in dance at a provincial level for 7
consecutive years representing the capital city of Victoria, British
Columbia. His reputation as a highly skilled dancer for his age caught
the attention of tap legend Gregory Hines, who, in 1992, brought Gordon up on
stage to perform with him at the Royal Theater in Victoria, B.C.
Gordon's first professional job came in 1993 at the age of 17 when he
was hired by Princess Cruise Lines to dance in their award winning
on-board production shows. A year and a half later Gordon received
dance scholarships from screen legend Debbie Reynolds and choreographer
Joe Tremaine. In 1996 Gordon was one of only two recipients of the Bob Fosse
Scholarship under the supervision of Gwen Verdon. This was awarded by
Paula Abdul at the Fosse Awards (now known as the American Choreography
Awards). Gordon has danced in commercials for eBay, Pace Pincante Salsa
Sauce, GE, Visa, Bacardi, Salon.com, and Mervyn's.
