Very few people have the art of dance down to a science, but this isn’t the case for LA-based, NYC-raised choreographer Jose “Hollywood” Ramos (@ayhollywood). He has pervaded the dance scene for over a decade now and has created some of the most recognizable dance routines by some of the most notable artists in the entertainment industry!
For starters, Ramos made an appearance as the only dancer in #Rihanna’s #RudeBoy video and went on to choreograph for her Last Girl On Earth Tour back in 2009. The dancer would go on to construct a sickening routine for #Ciara’s ‘Got Me Good’ video which also featured America’s Best Dance Crew alums, #8Flahvaz.
This same group of girls recorded another dance number created by Ramos to #Beyoncé’s ‘Yoncé’ interlude on her Visual Album. The singer not only saw the video but posted it to her Instagram! As fate would have it, Bey hired him to choreograph for her and she debuted the routine at her 2013 Mrs. Carter World Tour.
Ramos has continued to reinvent and come up with fresh ideas over the years which is why he is on his way to the top. In addition to the above, he has collaborated with Nicki Minaj for her Pinkprint Tour and Diddy’s Bad Boy Reunion Tour. He has choreographed videos for many artists such as Wale, Chris Brown and K. Michelle as well countless awards show performances such as Jennifer Lopez’s epic AMAs opening performance back in 2015!
Hollywood is going nowhere but up and we wish him tons of success! Something tells us that you’ll be seeing more of him in the coming years!
