At the beginning of his dance journey Brandon was exclusively doing Ballet. The artistic director and founder of the Harlem School of the Arts Arthur Mitchell gave him a scholarship to go to the school as they were low on interested young men at the time. This gave him enough interest to continue pursuing dance even after he left Dance Theatre of Harlem through his after-school programs where he did Jazz dance. While attending Ballet Tech and the Professional Performing Arts High School he diversified his skillset through different techniques including but not limited to Horton, Graham, West African, and Lindy Hop dancing. This training gave him the necessary foundation to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. While doing this he added a second major in public policy growing interest in the financial allocation that goes to arts organizations and seeing how he could balance dancing but also doing the behind-the-scenes management that make the dances possible and accessible. Now an Alumni from UMASS Amherst, Brandon uses his B.F.A dance Degree to teach and perform Lindy Hop while he uses his public policy degree to work with the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
