🌴June 8🌴

🤘Michael’s expertise in movement along with his motivational approach captures all participants in this 90 minute Masterclass.

🤘Michael innately can pull out the best from every dancer- no matter if they are beginner or elite level, and so learning from him is highly sought after in our Colorguard community.

🤘Michael has deep roots with USF, and they began before the guard program even existed. Michael graduated from the University of South Florida where he received a BA for Modern Dance Performance.

🤘Michael has been our main choreographer for our Colorguard with USF’s Herd of Thunder Marching Band since our program was founded in 1999. He also serves as our Winterguard program’s creative director and one of our many choreographers since its inception in 2003.
