At age of thirteen, he expanded his studies to include modern ballet with Yuko Takahashi. He later attended the American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive in New York City on the recommendation of Hilary Cartwright, followed by full time training at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at ABT from 2014 to 2016. He also continued his development at Manhattan Youth Ballet.
