Steven has choreographed for commercial ads such as boredCOW & Noorshama Jewelry. Steven recently founded his dance company treadFAST, which has already performed numerous sold out shows in NYC. As a dancer/performer, he has appeared in West Side Story (Chicago Lyric Opera) under Joshua Bergasse, West Side Story Italy, CATS National Tour, Newsies, West Side Story (Houston Grand Opera, Weston Playhouse), Sleeping Beauty Dreams (The Beacon Theatre/The Artsch Center), Mamma Mia!, Shrek: The Musical, as well as ads for Johnson & Johnson, Carnegie Hall, and many more. Steven has choreographed for over 100 dance studios across the United States & Canada, winning awards such as Choreographer of the Year and Regional Top Choreography Awards.

Steven began treadFAST dance company as a means of bridging the gap between concert & commercial dance. Steven has always believed that dance deserves a place in the commercialized world of performance art. In our industry, dancers are often considered as an ensemble or backup to other crafts within the industry. However, through multiple self produced productions, Steven has proved that stories can be told through dance alone. He has always dreamed of working in a world where dance is at the forefront, and what better way to make that a reality than to form a brand new commercial dance company. Ladies & gents, treadFAST.
