Live stage, television and music-video credits for Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande, currently performing in ROUGE at The STRAT, Las Vegas.
Born and raised in Hawai'i, Lake Smits, 34, grew up surrounded by dance and music, two passions that have shaped his life since childhood and eventually carried him from the islands to the world's biggest stages.
A complete performer, Lake is also a guitarist and singer, bringing a musician's instinct and phrasing to everything he dances. That versatility has made him a trusted presence alongside some of the greatest artists in pop: Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande, on world tours, television and music videos.
Now based in Las Vegas, he performs in ROUGE at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower.
