Upon graduation he was taken into the ranks of the Australian Ballet where he danced the full length classical works, training with teachers such as Gelsey Kirkland, Violette Verdi, Sonia Arova and Johnny Eliasen. He moved on to dance in European companies, performing in pieces by Nacho Duato, Jiri Kylian, Ohad Naharin, John Neumeier, William Forsythe and Jean-Christophe Maillot.
