Mike

Mike lives and breathes dance. He is constantly honing his skills and developing new ideas. If you run into him at a grocery store, on public transit, in a museum, or on a mountain top, you’ll probably catch him dancing.

As a teacher, he strives to create a learning environment that is fun, challenging and inclusive. The goal is for each individual student to find their next step forward and enjoy that process of growth.

Mike loves seeing students’ eyes light up when they understand a concept or feel a movement work naturally in their body for the first time. He has taught dance in 21 countries and counting.

He performs and competes because he loves the opportunity and challenge of communicating life energy through the language of dance. Having a dance community cheer, yell, shout, and connect with his dancing is one of the feelings that drives Mike to keep growing and creating.
