Jean-Philippe Milot began ballroom dancing at the age of 6 when, despite his protests, his parents insisted he take lessons. Today, he credits his mother and father with what has become a rewarding career. Growing up in Montreal, under the training of Manon Grenier and Jean-Marc Genereux, he became the Youth Ten-Dance and Latin Canadian Champion.

Currently, Jean-Philippe and his partner, Laurence Bolduc, train with Vibeke Toft, Jean-Marc Genereux, France Mousseau and Meryem Pearson. Their accomplishments include:

• Canadian Latin Champions 2009
• Two time North American Latin Champions
• 2009 World Games Latin Finalists
• Canadian Championship Latin Finalists
• 2008 Canadian representatives at the Latin World Championship in Melbourne, Australia
• Quebec Championship Showdance Champions
• Ohio Star Ball 2008 First Runner-up Latin Champions
• 7^th out of 70 at the Crystal Palace Cup 2009
• 8^th out of 70 at the Imperial 2009
• 37^th out of 400 at the Blackpool Dance Festival (May 2009)
• La Classique du Quebec 2008 and Manhattan Dancesport Championship 2008 Latin Finalists
• Semi-Finalists at the Embassy Ball (An IDSF part of the Grand Slam featuring the best couples from around the world)

Jean-Philippe and Laurence have also made numerous appearances on national television, such as the Quebec version of Dancing with the Stars. They performed for an audience of 40,000 people in the opening ceremony of the Outgames at the Olympic Stadium of Montreal, broadcast live on national TV.

As a coach, Jean-Philippe loves to teach all levels, from beginners to advanced; his students have ranked among the top competitive couples in the United States and abroad. Regardless of the result, however, he feels most accomplished when students leave their lesson happier, stronger, and more confident dancers than when they came in.
