He has shared his dance in various capacities and settings in the USA, France, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, China, et cetera.

Contact improvisation continues to be his primary tool physically and philosophically to deep dive into his existence as a human being.
He firmly believes that dance plays a vital role in holistic education and holistic healing.
