While taking zoology classes, he studied ballet, African dance, flamenco and the modern styles of José Limon and Merce Cunningham, and finally his passion for dance led him to set aside his scientific work. He performed with the Cunningham repertory company, and danced with Douglas Dunn and Lucinda Childs before joining Ton Simons’s company in the Netherlands. He returned to New York and started his own company in 2002. He has taught dance in Prague, Rockport, MA, at Bard College and at the North Carolina School of the Arts and will set “Nympholepsy” on dance students at the LaGuardia School of the Arts this spring.
