Last year, Sierra was lucky enough to work with Peggy Baker Dance Projects as an RBC Emerging Artist, where she worked closely with Peggy and her company. To further develop her abilities, Sierra has trained across Canada, the United States, Israel and Italy, working and creating with world-renowned teachers and choreographers. She has toured throughout Canada, China and the UAE. Since graduating from Ryerson University’s BFA Dance program, she has had the opportunity to work with several companies in the city, including: Dancetheatre David Earle, Toronto Heritage Dance, Avinoam Silverman Dance, ACE Dance Theatre, Hanna Kiel’s Young Human Body Expression, Alysa Pires Dance Projects, and Hit & Run Dance Productions. Michael holds a BFA in dance from Ryerson University. Being able to sift through these ideas and work towards a unique identity in movement is a goal he continues to work towards.

His training in various disciplines informs his artistic style and qualities both in performance and choreography.

In his search to gain more knowledge, Michael is constantly broadening his movement vernacular allowing him to make dynamic qualitative choices and inspiring new movement ideas. Following graduation, he was accepted and attended Springboard Danse Montreal, where he worked with Slowdanger and also performed repertory from Batsheva Dance Company. Michael had the opportunity to work and learn from many acclaimed choreographers/ companies, including: Hanna Kiel, James Kudelka, Kate Hilliard, Gadfly, Chartier Danse, BoucharDanse, Alejandro Cerrudo (Repertory), Roberto Olivan, Laida Aldaz Arrieta, Company SBB, Cirque du Soleil and The Dietrich Group among others. He is frequently brought in as a guest artist working with Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts (TDSB). He works in the commercial and contemporary facets of dance and continues to be an active member within both communities. He began dancing at age 17 and since then has had been fortunate to work with many artists from around the world, who have aided in developing his artistic voice and opinions. Michael Baboolal is a Toronto based dance artist.
