Alan has been dancing since he was 13, when he started popping, waving and gliding. During his early years as an undergrad at NYU, he flourished in dance, learning street styles, co-founding E.P.I.C. Motion Dance Company, and landing his first teaching job at 19. Alan continued to study hip hop, popping, and breakin’. His carefree personality and his love of funk music ultimately brought him to locking. In 2013, Alan took home the 1-on-1 Locking title at “Compete to the Beat” judged by the late creator of locking, Don Campbell.

Alan has taught at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Broadway Dance Center, and of course PMT Dance Studio.  Alan is one of the longest-running faculty members at PMT, where he specializes in teaching beginners. He is a Principal Dancer and Choreographer for PMT Dance Company and has performed in various venues with the company, including Alvin Ailey’s Citigroup Theater.

Alan’s abilities have allowed him to work with JetBlue, Superfly Productions, Production Glue, MTV Viacom, and has performed live on the TODAY Show four times. The first time dancing back-up for Vanilla Ice and the most recent as part of the Guinness World Record for Largest Street Dance. In 2015 he launched a youtube channel to help wedding-goers learn basic steps for their next reception, gaining nearly 1 million views to date.

In addition to being a dancer, Alan is a software engineer, father, and gamer. He has his Master in Arts Administration from NYU Steinhardt and lives in Brooklyn.
