Originally from Brampton, Ontario, Kurt has been a dancer with Ballet Kelowna since the summer of 2012. Prior to his move, he studied with several of Canada's top professional ballet schools including the National Ballet School of Canada, The School of Alberta Ballet and Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, where he graduated from their Ballet Academic Program in 2011. Kurt has also travelled abroad to Austria, England, Italy, New Zealand and the US in order to further his development and knowledge of dance. 

Under the guidance of Nadia Toraman and fellow faculty members of the Maui Yoga Shala, Kurt completed their 200 Hr Yoga Teaching Training Program in May 2018. Since his return, Kurt has started teaching in local studios and offering community classes to help share that which he learned during his time in Paia, Hawaii.
