Jade

Born in Ventura, California and raised throughout California, Coach Jade began his journey of movement at age eight years old where he first attempted front flipping, spinning and twisting on roller blades. He then transferred those skills over to movements such as Hip Hop, Martial Arts Tricking, and Capoeria. Within any activity he immerses himself in, he strives to influence his peers by assisting them in achieving their goals and by helping them to cultivate goals, so they have a path of passion and ambition. Coach Jade has professionally provided choreographed acrobatic sequences to companies to promote the release of new-fashioned products, for commercials, and shows.

After obtaining a B.S in Japanese & East Asian Studies at University of California, Berkeley, He was selected by Japanese Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help promote foreign language education and grassroots internationalization in Japan; coordinated with Japanese teachers to plan, prepare and conduct English Lessons as an assistant language teacher in Shiga, Nagahama for four years.

 He also represented a major role in One Tribe, a dance school which caters to the support and growth of Downs Syndrome people of all ages in Osaka, Japan; encouraged infinite possibilities via dance expression. 

Outside of movement and Japanese culture, Jade loves competitive gaming, live streaming, theater and long night drives.
