He has worked in films such as How She Move and Step Up 2: the Streets. He also teaches workshops at many studios around the globe. Teaching his style of hip hop dance, which includes the foundation of many hip hop dances (popping, locking, breaking) and mixing it to his own style. He always remains a student and loves learning the history of the dance. Knowing where each dance comes from, the style of the dance, and when it was made. In teaching his students he hopes that they get the same knowledge that he has learned and hopes to free their minds in learning the art of hip hop freestyle, and body control.

Hip hop dance is an evolving dance that has a foundation but leaves you free to make your own style.

Without foundation a house will crumble. Without style you have no soul.
