TJ was an Anna McCowan Johnson Aspirant Program dancer. He began his dance journey at a local studio in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, where he first discovered his love for the art form. His passion led him to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, where he graduated with distinction before continuing in the post-secondary program. A recipient of the ANR Pipeline Scholarship, TJ performed notable roles including Acteon in Esmeralda and Franz in Coppélia. He also appeared in company productions such as The Nutcracker tour, Jekyll & Hyde, and Romeo & Juliet. Most recently, TJ was selected to attend the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival as part of the Contemporary Ballet Program. He is looking forward to performing in The Florida Ballet’s upcoming season.
