Dennis Phermsin - HIP HOP Dancer/Choreographer

Dennis Phermsin - HIP HOP



APA is proud to bring more new energy to its' current staff with Joey Cruz & Dennis Phermsin of FORMALity (a HIP HOP dance company).

Dennis Phermsin, better known as Dmagic, revolutionized the meaning of dancer/performer with his booty basics, power moves, and unforgettable stage presence. Little did he know that auditioning for San Marcos All-male back in 2000 (only to satisfy a simple request from a good friend, Jesse Sims) would forever change his lifestyle as he discovered his passion for dance - dancing with San Marcos from 2000-2004 and earning leadership as Captain. Unsurprisingly, Dennis was dubbed Mr. Street Dance in 2004. Dennis continued to hone his skills as he joined Formality (HIP HOP dance company) in 2003 and proudly represents the premier all-male group to this day as a seasoned member.

Further training under Culture Shock San Diego’s Sherman Shoate (for Hip Hop dance classes) and some of the best choreographers from LA’s Millenium Studio (Kenny Wormwald, Super Dave, and Marty Kudelka), Dennis is now on the rise as a multi-dimensional choreographer who stays up to date with the newest styles but always keeps the hip hop fundamentals of breaking, funk, locking, and popping. Dennis’s signature style features big movements that can be read on stage and fluid choreography. A former teacher at Studio 429 in Encinitas, Dennis now teaches at APA and StudioFX.

His words to live by: “Stay humble, Stay loyal, and stay true to your roots.”
