Coming from Philippines, Jonadette began dancing from a young age. It was when she moved to Wales that her passion for dance grew even more as she was introduced to dance films and music videos. It wasn’t until later when she decided to pursue dance as a career at the age of 17.
Now Jonadette is a strong female dance-artist specialising in the styles of Krump, Popping and Hip-Hop. She's a member of all-female pioneering Krump Crew: Buckness Personified, and is a member of renowned Popping Crew: Fiya House.
She is versatile with choreography and is a fluent freestyler and a powerful performer. Her movement is unique.
She also competes in local and international street-dance battles such as Illest International Battles (Paris), European Buck Session Battles (Germany), Juste Debout (UK) and World of Dance (UK).
As much as she loves performing she also takes interest in choreography, movement direction and other creative endeavours.
