Biography

Beauchamp was born in St. Albert, Alberta.[3] When he was little, his mother put him in a dance school, he spent a whole month without dancing because he was very shy, but he ended up taking the dance way and ended up with it for his life. Bauchamp suffered a lot of bullying at school, because he wanted to dance while the boys in his class were training hockey. He cites Michael Jackson as one of his great inspirations, as he listened to his music a lot when he was a child. Josh is also inspired by artists like Ian Eastwood and Justin Timberlake.[4]

Career

Beauchamp is a very popular dancer in Canada, including Justin Bieber retweeted his video dancing "Sorry". He also participated in the video clip for "That's What Love Is", by singer Justin Bieber.

The start at Now United

Beauchamp is often referred to as a dancer because his career started in 2006, so he is seen as one. Despite his years of dancing, Josh also sings. He narrowly missed out on the Now United project. Josh had signed up to represent the United States, as had Noah, thus competing with one of his best friends at the bootcamp held in LA. However, when the creator of the project, Simon Fuller learned that Josh was actually Canadian, he decided to put him in the group representing his country of origin.

Controversies

Beauchamp was criticized by several fans on Twitter after posting a song considered macho on his profile on Instagram.[5] He also got into another controversy for saying that he has already helped choreograph some songs by kpop groups.[6] Josh ended up deactivating his Twitter account for a while, but returned after positive messages from several fans.[7]

gollark: VPNs prevent ISPs from seeing all this except possibly to some extent #3, but the VPN provider can still see it, and obviously whatever service you connect to has any information sent to it.
gollark: Anyway, with HTTPS being a thing basically everywhere and DNS over HTTPS existing, ISPs can only see:- unencrypted traffic from programs/services which don't use HTTPS or TLS- the *domains* you visit (*not* pages, and definitely not their contents, just domains) - DNS over HTTPS doesn't prevent this because as far as I know it's still in plaintext in HTTPS requestts- metadata about your connection/packets/whatever- also the IPs you visit, but the domains are arguably more useful anyway
gollark: On my (GNU/)Linux computing devices, which is all of my non-portable ones, I run dnscrypt-proxy, which acts as a local DNS server which runs my queries through DNS over HTTPS/DNS over TLS/DNSCrypt servers.
