Chester Whitmore

Week 3
Week 4

Chester Whitmore has been dancing around the world since 1974, trained by none other than Fayard Nicholas of the legendary Nicholas Brothers. Chester is a dancer, teacher, choreographer, director, stuntman, entertainer, and even a renowned drummer and bandleader.

His choreography graces music videos for artists like Boys II Men, Sugar Ray, and Teena Marie, and he’s worked with icons such as Savion Glover, MC Hammer, and Prince. With his dance company, Black Ballet Jazz, he has lit up stages with the Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie orchestras.

Chester’s boundless energy and infectious passion make him an unforgettable entertainer—one who must be seen to be believed! Is there anything he can’t do? We don’t think so.
