Shortly after his 2002 Emmy nomination, Packard was scouted by pop music entrepreneur Lou Pearlman, manager of Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and many other successful boy bands. He joined the group twONEty (21), which toured Europe extensively before disbanding. While working with Pearlman, Packard met then 13-year-old aspiring singer Brooke Hogan, daughter of professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

Packard parlayed experience reinventing the Chippendales male revue for its 25th anniversary into a costarring role as choreographer for the E! Network television event Men of the Strip, which focused on the discovery and cultivation of the next great Las Vegas male revue. Currently, Packard owns and mentors the professional dance company, The INstitute of Dancers. It was established in early 2017, and is located in East Lansing, Michigan.
