"Coming into ORU's program as one of the few male dancers with no previous formal training was intimidating at the least, but with the support and welcoming atmosphere of all the dancers and professors in the department I was able to progress at a rate that I never imagined I could. In one short year, I have been transformed from strictly a hip hop dancer to a well rounded student in both Ballet, Modern, and other styles to go along."
