What instructor would you like to hear from next?

Many people often wonder why I chose dance as a career. When I was a child I had my first school recital as a kindergarten and fell in love with performance. During one of my sister’s birthday parties, as the teenagers were dancing on the dance floor, I jumped in and started busting a move just so I could experience the thrill of having people watch me.
My freshman year in High School I decided to enter a talent show as a dancer, mind you, without any training or knowledge that there was actual training available. LOL... I didn't win. In my junior year in high school when I needed to attain a certain amount of PE credits in order to graduate, my advisor told me I could take Dance class as it counted as a PE class. The first week I took class, I wanted to quit because I was the only boy. My teacher Susan Brady, told me to stick with it, that I had a natural predisposition. After a month I was hooked and I have been dancing ever since.
Dance has taken me in many places and will take me many places yet to come. I currently work with a modern company, Center Dance Ensemble in Phoenix. We rehearse and perform for the better part of the year at The Herberger Theater in Downtown Phoenix. I also co-star in a show called STRUT that showcases male talent in the valley including to but not limited to dancing, singing, and acting. I gogo dance and strip at different clubs in the valley.
In addition, I do self contracted work with event coordinators where I find dancers and choreograph pieces for various types of events in a variety of venues. I teach classes at Abby Bella on a weekly basis and I LOVE to move people through the art of movement.
