An award-winning dancer best known for his time on the Lifetime show Dance Moms, he made a name for himself during the first two seasons with standout performances that showcased his talent. While he was a key member of the Candy Apples Dance Team, he ultimately left the elite competition group in 2012, marking a turning point in his journey. After that, he continued pursuing his passion at Krystie’s Dance Academy in Ohio, further refining his craft.
Before fame, he had already built a strong reputation as a solo dancer—so much so that the producers brought him onto Dance Moms specifically to highlight his individual strengths. Throughout his time on the show, he earned multiple on-screen solos, proving his skill and stage presence. In 2012, he took home the title of Mr. Dance of America, a major achievement in the dance world. However, his association with Dance Moms stirred some controversy within the broader dance community, and many believe this backlash played a role in his decision to step away from the series.
Growing up in Northeastern Ohio, he was raised by his parents, Tanya and Mark, alongside his four brothers—Jamon, Kanyon, Maduxx, and Vayden. The support and energy from his family undoubtedly shaped his early years and helped fuel his drive. As one of the most memorable male dancers on Dance Moms, his story continues to resonate with fans who followed his journey from young competitor to celebrated performer.
In the year following his departure from Dance Moms, he stayed incredibly active on the competition circuit in Ohio. During that time, he earned some impressive accolades, including first-place finishes at 24seven and Revolution, along with a second-place win at Star Systems. His talent didn’t go unnoticed, as he also took home the title of NYCDA’s National Mini Male Outstanding Dancer that year.
