Manuel began his journey into dance at the age of 17; beginning with ballet, jazz, and contemporary techniques. After that first exposure to dance, it has led him on a 14 year journey that has allowed him to achieve his Bachelors and Masters degree in Dance/Choreography; allowing him to train with technical masters from the US and Europe. Currently working as a freelance dancer in Germany, Manuel is focusing on bridging his work as a dancer, choreographer and teacher.
