Gene David Goodman was born in London, where he began his dance education at the Royal Ballet School (2010–2016). He continued his training at the Nationale Balletacademie in Amsterdam, Netherlands (2016–2019). During his studies, he attended prestigious dance programs, including a summer intensive course at the Nederlands Dans Theater in The Hague (2018) and the Masters of Ballet course at London's Sadler’s Wells Theater (2018).
Gene collaborated with the Dutch theatre company Nationale Opera & Ballet, performing in notable productions such as Mata Hari (2017), The Sleeping Beauty (2018), and Giselle (2018). In the 2019/2020 season, he joined the Dutch company Introdans, where he danced in acclaimed works including Whim by Alexander Ekman, Rossini Cards by Mauro Bigonzetti, and Missa Brevis by José Limón.
Since the 2022/2023 season, Gene has been a demi-soloist with the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre ballet coompany. Renowned for his versatility, he excels in classical, neoclassical, and contemporary repertoire. His first major role was Don José in Carmen, choreographed by Jiří Pokorný. He also performs in The Nutcracker – A Christmas Carol (choreography by Youri Vámos) and The Cello (choreography by Jo Strømgren).
In the 2024/2025 season, Gene captivated Ostrava audiences with his performances in ČISTÁ RADOSTance. He appeared in the Firebird Pas de Deux by Marco Goecke and Heatscape by Justin Peck.
