From a peaceful small town located in the heart of Michigan’s Grape Country to the exhilarating streets of New York City, Jerry Mitchell always knew he wanted more.

His talent and determination was clear to see, but his love for dance quickly flourished. Between the ages of 14 to 15, Mitchell was already choreographing and assisting for shows at his community theater and high school. Fast forward to 17 years old, Mitchell was accepted to the Conservatory Program at Webster University in St. Louis. This small town boy was finally getting his big city dream.
