“I’ve been dancing for 15+ years mainly growing up through Hip Hop dance culture, but have also taken inspiration from other dance art forms such as ballet, jazz, and tap. I’ve self-learned how to dance & choreograph since the beginning of high school through watching various dance videos and started taking my training more seriously afterwards by taking more dance workshops and classes from different dancers & artists. I’ve been a part of (f.k.a) Chocolate Factory dance team in 2011-2013, then ventured over to Training Ground in 2014 and now currently dance with The Company since 2015 from Westlake School of Performing Arts. I also teach my own TAG course and choreography classes, and currently directing a hip hop training program for EDS Crew.”

Sup ya’ll, I’m Tad. 

OOS: How would you describe your dance style?

Most of the time, my movement is dictated either by the sound of the music, or simply how it makes me feel. 

OOS: What are your dance goals as a mentor?

To have at least one student who can fully understand and resonate with what I’m teaching them. 

OOS: What will your students learn or experience in your class?

The learning and growing process of getting better at dance is more than just taking a dance class.
