Michael is also a member of Balance Dance Company, The X-Men of X-calibur Entertainment, and D2D: Dare 2 Dance.

Michael has danced for Rev9, The Academy of Phresh I Am Phresh, MM2 Modern Dance Company, and Contempra Dance Theatre, in addition to performing in the musical Chicago at the Ephrata Playhouse. The love for teaching and creating dance art came from an internship at the Broadway Dance Center in the summer for 2010, where he trained with working artists such as Derek Mitchell, Luam Keflezgy, Future, Sheila Barker, Chio Yamada, Sheryl Murakami, Ejoe Wilson, Dana Foglia, Ginger Cox, and many more. Michael respects other artists for their work as inspirations, and plans to utilize what he learns in continuing to explore methods of collaborating and building communities through dance.
