Jarell Rochelle
Jarell Rochelle is a recent graduate from Sam Houston State University. While here, Jarell earned his Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and pursued his life-long dream of a career in dance. A fierce competitor, Jarell has a passion for dance that lives within him and inspires him daily. Jarell participated in a number of productions in Sam Houston’s department of Theatre & Dance and enjoyed teaching intensive workshops to high school and junior high school students who, like him, wish to pursue a career in dance.
Most recently, Jarell joined the competition “So You Think You Can Dance,” a tremendously popular TV show on Fox (Thurs at 8/7c), where he just made it through the first round! See the video audition here.
Watching Jarell dance is like watching an entire play unfold in front of your eyes; the story and message is clear and audiences are eager to take the journey with him. A brilliant choreographer and an intensely passionate performer, Jarell lives and breathes his art form and is quickly becoming a master at his craft.
World renowned choreographer/performer Debbie Allen recently asked Jarell to come to her summer intensive program in LA. There he will receive training from the best dancers around the world.
