He paints with his hands while simultaneously dancing to themed music. Dependent on the message, he also incorporates poetry, drama, and digital media. The intention of his performances is to create an experience full of energy, creativity, and inspiration as well as an organic finished piece of work.

Excellence Dance Academy (EDA) was established in 2014 for all who desire to worship God through dance. EDA is a dance studio whose primary goal is to put excellence on display and to bring the truth of God’s Word to life through dance. Dance is of God and from God. As Christians, EDA believes it is their duty to show appreciation to God through the various gifts and talents He has given. EDA is committed to developing this gift of dance in all kinds of dancers: those who just love the art, those who desire to make it a career, and those in between. In all that EDA represents and presents, this gift of dance is not for selfish consumption, but for the glory and honor of God in hopes that all who see will come to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
