Since then, he has learned Hip-Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, and Ballet, but has developed a preference towards Hip-Hop and Jazz Funk. He started competing with TeamDCDC in their ‘21–‘22 season. Mael has been a scholarship finalist at DanceMakers Inc. and a scholarship winner at Tremaine Dance Convention. At Tremaine’s 2021 National Finals Event, Mael’s Solo, “Play Wit Ya”, was able to place first in its category. During that same week, he was a finalist for both the scholarships and the title of D.O.T.Y. (Dancer of the Year). Mael is extremely excited to work with iDream of Dance because he wants to be able to help aspiring dancers by sharing all the valuable information that he learns in class!
