He began his training at the age of 6 at Studio de Danse Danielle where he competed on the competitive team for 12 years winning him various Regional and National titles. Following his graduation Justin attended École supérieure de ballet du Quebec for a year to enhance on his technical training. He has also attended workshops such “RUBBERBAND Winter Intensive” under the direction of Victor Quijada and “New Century Dance Project” under the direction of Francisco Gella. In 2022 he received a mentorship scholarship from the artistic coordinator of “Les Ballets Jazz De Montreal” Andrew Mikhaiel.
