Tommy Franzen is a Swedish street dancer who is also a sports massage therapist.

Tommy grew up in Sweden with his sister Elena, who is seven years older then he is, and she is the person who introduced him to the world of dance – they both attended David Johnson’s hip-hop dance classes in their home country.

He got his first major break aged 14 when he was cast in Joseph in Sweden. He then continued working for another five years within musical theatre and hip-hop dance shows in Sweden until year 2000 when he moved to London to study at The Urdang Academy on a scholarship. He graduated three years later with a National Diploma in Performing Arts.

Tommy’s career has gone from strength to strength since his graduation within a wide work field, ranging from hip-hop dance theatre and harness work to films and music videos.

He turned down the chance to appear in Cirque Du Soleil to appear as a dancer in Mamma Mia – The Movie as well as Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

He played one of the lead roles as Ali Baba at the 15th Asian Games in Doha 2006, performing as an aerialist. At the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Handover Ceremonies in 2008 Tommy not only danced but also assisted the choreographer.
