Elijah was born and raised in Los Angeles, and he is a senior at New Roads School.  All of his extended family lives on the East Coast, so he has spent a lot of time on both sides of the country.  He started dancing in fifth grade, and hip-hop was his main area of focus for the first few years. At New Roads, he was fortunate enough to gain experience in many other dance styles, including ballet, contemporary, and jazz.  Elijah also has performed on stage as an actor and theatre has since become another important aspect of his life.
