During this time, he has provided education and created productions for dance schools and community programs throughout Melbourne. He has worked with the Hume City Council, for Footscray, Williamstown, Sunshine, Preston, Coburg, Gladstone Park and Brunswick Community Centres. Michael aims to produce work and opportunities for the community, entertainers and the industry as a whole, creating a peaceful, energetic environment, through the promotion of self confidence and self expression. Michael is promoting racism awareness by most recently working on the A.R.A.B (Anti-Racism Action Band), project, involving secondary colleges statewide. This program creates awareness through hip hop, rap and theatre, producing a display promoting unity between the races, giving youths the opportunity to perform and exhibit their achievements and messages to other schools not yet involved in the program. Michael hopes to travel to not only perform, but to create the opportunity to educate today's youth in the benefits of dancing and performing, and share the experiences he has encountered throughout his successful, fulfilling career.
