Most recently Mike has become a choreographer for the “Canadian National Tap Team” for the “World Tap Dance Championships” in Germany, the “Commonwealth Dance Cup” in South Africa, and the “World Dance Cup” in Spain. He is also proud to have worked as a trainer and choreographer for the “German National Dance Teams” (Tap, Jazz, Contemporary), and “Italian National Tap Team” (Tap, Jazz, Contemporary), whose members have competed Mike’s choreography at the European, and World Dance Championships.

Mike is proud to have become sought after performer, instructor, choreographer, and adjudicator throughout the GTA and beyond. Mike cherishes his time spent encouraging and inspiring his students, and imbuing them with the same love of dance and performance that has him shuffling down the street.
