A year later he was accepted to the Rotterdam Dance Academy. In 2008 he tried out for So You Think You Can Dance on Fox, which became his big break.

Trivia

In May 2009 he was hand-picked by Michael Jackson to become one of the 12 principal dancers on his This Is It tour, which then sadly failed to happen because of the pop legend's tragic death.
