About Vincas

PictureTravis Massey, Magic Craft Studio

My goal is to enrich lives through my work as a dance artist by choreographing, teaching, directing, and performing. As an artist and administrator I seek opportunities to share my passion for dance with audiences, dancers, students and people new to dance as art. I am available for faculty positions, choreography, master classes, and as a consultant.

Please  browse the information below and contact me if you need a more complete CV.
