Trent Whiddon is an Australian dancer and choreographer, best known for his professional appearances on the BBC One dance series Strictly Come Dancing.
Whiddon started dancing at the age of seven. His mother encouraged him and he trained in a wide range of styles including Ballroom, Latin-American, Jazz, Tap, Ballet and Hip Hop. At the age of 15 he represented Australia at the Junior British Championships, reaching the open final. In 2005 he competed as a Latin dancer with partner Peta Murgatroyd.[1]
Two years later he joined the cast of Burn the Floor. In his second tour with the show he became lead dancer and later served as Dance Captain and Company Manager.
Whiddon has also appeared as a professional dancer on Australia's Dancing with the Stars and has choreographed for two seasons of So You Think You Can Dance Australia, alongside his Slovenian wife Gordana Grandosek, whom he met in 2008 when they became dance partners and Australian Professional Ten Dance Champions.[2]
