Guest choreographer bios:

Mike is an Eight Count alumus who is a self taught freestyler at heart, and often dances to therapeutically ease his soul. He has danced with and choreographed for 4 different dance ministries for the past 5 years. He loves to play with the musicality of a song and arrange his freestyle into a choreographed piece. He has experience teaching youths to adults, and creates a no pressure environment, where all students can pick up his style and groove.

Martin has danced all over the country, training with groups like Culture Shock Oakland, Dance 2XS, Phunk Phenomenon, and Funktion. In 2005, he joined Eight Count. As the director, he was active in the formation and progression of the ministry for the last 4 years. He is happy to have left Eight Count, only because his ministry is now his beautiful baby girl Alaya. We are glad to have him back for this workshop session! Be prepared for an energetic teacher with a sharp style filled with character.
