He has danced in major companies throughout Asia, Europe and Australia.  Always as a soloist or principle dancer, with his extensive training in all styles of dance as well as gymnastics he brought a raw power and extreme facility not seen from a male dancer and added something new to each show resulting in offers from The Moulin Rouge, Tokyo Disney, princess cruises and jean ann.
