He began dancing at the age of 13 and at 14 was offered a spot at The Royal Ballet School, London. Whilst still a student Chehon received many prestigious dance and choreographic awards, including the Grand Prix at the ‘American Dance Competition’ and the coveted 'Ursula Moreton Choreographic Award' in London.

His performances and capability to command the stage earned him rave reviews across the US, proclaiming him as one of the strongest and most promising young dancers of today.

Chehon put a hold on his dancing career in 2012 to audition for the FOX hit TV show 'So You Think You Can Dance'. It was his eagerness to grow as an artist and expand his horizon that prompted him to do so. In the course of the show Chehon performed some of the most memorable routines in the history of SYTYCD. His emotional journey and capability to grow as a performer won over the hearts of America and he went on to take the title of 'Americas Favorite Dancer'. Since then Chehon has been seen on the SYTYCD Top10 National Tour, he was featured on the Cover of Dance Spirit Magazine, appeared on the ELLEN show and guest starred on the popular TV series 'Bones'.

Chehon has already made 2013 his biggest year yet, landing his first starring role in a full-length feauture film, 'East Side Story'. He has also created his own unique brand for movers: 'CheForce', with which he aims to inspire and give dance a louder voice. Chehon lives in LA where he continues dancing and hopes to pursue a acting and choreographic career. Chehon would like to thank his family and all the special people who love and supported him throughout his journey.
