Glenn Douglas Packard at NBC World of Dance
Glenn Packard is an Emmy Award-nominated choreographer, director, and producer whose career is as remarkable as an MTV True Hollywood tragic-to-triumph story. Born in Detroit, MI, to Roger and Paulette Packard, Glenn was the eldest of three children. At just five years old, his father made a bold decision to move the family to a run-down farm in Michigan, where he saw potential in the dairy business. As the farm grew prosperous, young Glenn contributed to the family business in Clare, MI, but his destiny was calling him elsewhere.

At 19, Glenn faced a life-altering event when a severe 4-wheeler accident left him with a compound fracture in his right leg. Doctors insisted that amputation was the only option and that he would never walk normally again, but Glenn refused to give up, kept the leg, and after months of fighting off a life-threatening infection, Glenn made an unwavering promise to himself: if he fully recovered, he would pursue his childhood dream of making an impact in the entertainment industry. This was when he left the farm behind, started to dance, and his life emulated a Forrest Gump-like journey-except instead of "Run, Forrest, Run!" it was "Dance, Glenn, Dance!"

From that point forward, Glenn became an unstoppable force in the world of dance. Described by The New York Times as a "dancing entrepreneur," his standout moment as a dancer/choreographer came when he earned an Emmy Award Nomination for his work alongside the late King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, on his ABC 30th Anniversary Special and Whitney Houston's All Star Gala, along with dancing and choreographing for iconic artists like Pink, Usher, Ricky Martin, Liza Minelli, Marc Anthony, Missy Elliot, Daddy Yankee, CNCO, and Timbaland. Glenn was entrusted as the creative director/choreographer for over 140 stage shows, crafting some of the most unforgettable performances in music history. His expertise helped shape performances for the Latin Grammys & Latin Billboard Awards, and the GLAAD Media Awards.

He transitioned seamlessly into a trailblazing director and producer with the television special event E!'s Men of The Strip and his acclaimed indie slasher horror film Pitchfork and the international Bollywood hit Rhythm. His work was showcased in the iconic documentary Move, where he stood alongside industry giants such as Paula Abdul, Kenny Ortega, Debbie Allen, and Adam Shankman. To add to his crazy Forrest Gump-like life, he was even invited to dance for the King of Morocco twice and became a beloved GBFF reality star on VH1's hit series Brooke Knows Best.

In 2024, Deadline exclusively announced that Glenn will be writing, directing, and producing a film with two childhood public domain icons going head-to-head in a grotesque battle to the end. With his boundless talent and dedication, Glenn Douglas Packard continues to push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling. His visionary work and resilience stand as a testament to his artistry and unyielding drive.
