Merrick Hanna Facts

He began dancing after giving up playing soccer in order to be involved in something more fun as well as personal. He has stated that he has danced as he has enjoyed music and has loved to express himself through his body.

Merrick has been a freestyle dancer who has been recognized for his “flo-bot” style of dance.

Merrick has confessed to having been a homebody with traits of a perfectionist.

He has disclosed that although he is an Aries, he has not thought that has fit him very well, having considered himself to have been more like a mix between Taurus and Virgo.

He has enjoyed baking items like cookies having loved the chocolate chip variety.

Some of his performances on America’s Got Talent were bittersweet dances about a lonely robot boy that were set to songs by Alec Benjamin, I Built a Friend and Lost Boy.

Merrick has recalled that juggling the show America’s Got Talent and family had been a challenge for him and that he and his mother used to spend weeks at a time at a hotel in Los Angeles while the series would rehearse and tape in Pasadena. They would sometimes come home for a couple of days or so, just long enough to do laundry and some family bonding before returning again on Sunday.

He has an amusing quirk of absentmindedly taking off one of his socks and then walking around the rest of the day wearing only the other sock.
