He is privileged to have trained with a range of industry professionals including Alvin Rangel from Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, Thomas E S Kelly and Taree Sansbury from Karul Projects and Daniel Riley from Australian Dance Theatre (ADT). He has learnt on Country in Nyinyikay, North East Arnhem Land NSW and Wollombi, NSW. Blake’s passions also include Musical Theatre.

Blake would eventually like to combine his love for the arts and his culture to create something truly special that can nurture First Nations people for generations. Blake hopes to complete his Advanced Diploma in Professional Dance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and become a multidisciplinary practitioner, sharing his skills as dancer, freelance artist and cultural mentor with companies and communities across Australia and internationally.
