Profile

A native Daytonian and member of Venus Fly and The Millennium Robots dance crews, studying Hip-Hop choreography over the years led to an underground learning and practice of House, Whacking and Vogue. These dance forms and a love for performing enable him to break down the foundational movement and rhythm, making his teaching style understandable and easy to follow no matter the skill level. 

His talents have gained him notoriety in the Midwest street dance scene, competing and winning several "all-styles" jams through the region. He also has had the pleasure of hosting multiple dance battles from Illinois to Tennessee and all points in between. While working as a choreographer and dancer at The 7th Floor nightclub, Shanghai China, it allowed the opportunity to live and experience a different culture's street dance scene and how they have adapted American street dance forms and truly showed him how dance is a universal language that he speaks fluently.
