17-year old CHRISTIAN PATTERSON of Australia captured the grand title "2004 Grand Champion Performer of the World" with a dazzling, spectacular solo dance performance. He has now moved to Hollywood to escalate his career. Christian signed with Thomas Flagg, owner of the famed Terpsichore Management in Beverly HIlls and New York, and with Hollywood and New York's Prestigious MSA Agency. According to Flagg, "Last year at the age of 16, Christian had accomplished everything that could be done in Australia as a celebrated dancer, and "triple treat" (dancer, singer, actor)... competitions, performances, shows, events! His career could go no further in Australia. The only place to go now was America... and he and his coach chose WCOPA in order to expose his talent to agents and managers. Well... his incredible dancing talent is quickly being recognized by the best in the business in Hollywood and New York! He has just been hired as an assistant choreographer and will also perform in the much anticipated movie "Rent", Broadway's smash Tony winner! Christian will be returning to the WCOPA stage in 2005 as a featured guest performer in the Opening Ceremonies and Finals!
