Sydney-born dancer Winston Sky didn’t exactly choose dance—it found him. Coming from a highly creative family, it was almost inevitable that he would fall into the arts. His sisters pursued film and piano, and his parents encouraged each child to explore their creative potential. But it wasn’t until he stumbled upon hip-hop that he truly found his passion.
“I was always into Michael Jackson,” Winston recalls. “I used to watch all of his film clips, and then Stomp the Yard happened. I watched that and immediately fell in love with hip-hop.”
Fate stepped in at just the right time. Winston’s brother’s girlfriend owned a dance studio, and one afternoon after school, he had no choice but to go to class. What started as a reluctant obligation quickly became an obsession. “I loved it, and I stuck with it ever since.”
A Life Immersed in Dance
For Winston, dance isn’t just a career—it’s everything. “There are people with PhDs in science, doctors, and academics, but dance is all I know,” he says. “I’ve watched all the videos, all the movies, I know all the artists. It’s in my veins.”
That deep-rooted connection to movement fuels his creativity, and no matter how much time passes, he always finds himself drawn back in. “Even if I step away for a little while, the moment I watch a dance video, I get that call to the void. It sets a fire inside me to create something.”
The Future of Winston Sky
When asked about his dream job in ten years, Winston jokes, “Sitting on the beach with a mimosa, that’s for sure.” But beyond the humor, he knows that creativity will always be part of his life. “I’d love to still be in the creative arts in some form. I think I’d still be a creative director.”
With a relentless passion for dance and an eye for artistic direction, Winston Sky isn’t just another dancer—he’s a visionary who will continue to shape the industry in new and inspiring ways.
