Summary
As a young boy, I fell in love with performing arts at a young age. I have studied with Patrick School of the Arts for the past 6 years and furthered my knowledge of the arts while in training. I have participated in many professional dance shows and performances, creating choreography for industry nights and winning awards for my efforts and contribution to the dance community. I would love to share my passion and knowledge of the arts onto the younger, upcoming generation.
