Originally from Toledo, Ohio, Brandon Allen began his dance journey at the age of five and started competing just two years later. He trained extensively in a wide range of styles, including Hip Hop, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Ballet. Throughout his youth, he performed in numerous community shows, halftime performances, and theatrical productions across the Toledo area.
