Deniz Dean is a singer, dancer and choreographer. Born and raised in Munich with Turkish roots, he works internationally.

He performed and won several awards with the breakdance crew All Side Family, later known as Bouncing’s. At 19, he began his classical dance training at Munich’s Benedict-Manniegel Ballet Academy. He went on to train at schools across Europe, including in England, studying jazz, Afro dance, hip-hop, contemporary, modern dance, acrobatics and ballet.

In Beat it! – The Musical About the King of Pop, Deniz served as Dance Captain and played Tito Jackson. In 2024, he played the lead role of Ryder in PAW Patrol – Das große Piratenabenteuer on a short European tour. He also toured with Musical Rocks and Falco meets Mercury.

As a dancer and choreographer, Deniz has worked on shows and television productions for ProSieben and RTL and performed for BMW, Audi and Mercedes. At the Bavarian State Opera, he has appeared in productions including Ariadne, The Fiery Angel and Die Fledermaus.
