We always thought Mike, one of the contestants on Bravo's newest reality series 'Step It Up & Dance', looked really good, even with his clothes on. Now, thanks to some revealing photos that has appeared on the Internet, we will have even more reasons to follow the talented dancer from Houston. Bravo writes about 24 old Mike: "With his diverse ethnic background (Black, Latin and German) and an international-urban edge, Mike describes himself as a "raw, beautiful and passionate performer who is in love with dance." Born in Germany, Mike grew up in a military home and at the age of nine moved to Houston, Texas. He earned a scholarship to the Houston Metropolitan Dance Center and also studied at Alvin Ailey, Broadway Dance Center, Millennium Dance Complex, and the Debbie Reynolds Dance Academy. Now, an established dancer trained in jazz, ballet, modern dance and salsa, Mike finds he is most passionate about the raw expressive energy of hip hop. He has performed in major shows for Kelly Rowland, Hillary Duff, and four-time Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera, among others. Though dancing is his heart; Mike is an advocate for change and is involved in a variety of charities teaching and hosting dance mentoring programs, LGBT organizations, handicapped Americans and underprivileged minority communities. He lives by the motto, "life is my canvas, the beat is my soul, crank it up and watch me roll." See the revealing photos here (NSFW) Last update: 04-16-2008 21:45
