Dushaun Thompson (He/Him)
Culture Lead, Company Artist
Infinite Flow Dance
Dushaun Thompson was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. A dynamic performer and advocate, he has trained extensively in multiple dance styles on scholarship at West Virginia Wesleyan College and Norfolk State University. With over eight years of experience as part of a dance crew, Dushaun brings a powerful and expressive movement style to his performances. Growing up with ADHD, Dushaun had boundless energy and often struggled to sit still in school. Teachers saw it as a problem, but he later realized it was a strength. Without a mentor to guide him, he took it upon himself to become that person for others. Now, as a behavioral therapist, he helps young people with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent traits recognize that their differences are superpowers, not limitations. Beyond his advocacy, Dushaun’s talent has led him to exciting opportunities, including sharing his gift on the big screen in an upcoming Lionsgate movie. He joined Infinite Flow in early 2025 and found that the company’s mission perfectly aligned with his dreams and goals, providing a space where he can merge dance, storytelling, and advocacy. Grateful for life and family, Dushaun lives by the belief that “if you believe it, you can receive it.” Through his journey, he hopes to inspire others to persevere, embrace their uniqueness, and never give up on their dreams.
