Mario has trained in a wide array of styles such as Hip-Hop, W*acking, Afro styles, Soca and Commercial choreography. He started his formal dance journey in 2008 with PraiseTEAM Studio in Surrey, BC. With the desire to further his vocabulary within the dance world, he co-founded Epiphany Dance Crew and Epiphany Workshops just a year after starting his formal training. In 2012, Mario joined Studio 604 in Burnaby, BC, and a year later, he brought Epiphany to the studio, where it became a competitive dance company. He led the company to compete at many local and national competitions, such as World of Dance Vancouver and the Canadian Hip-Hop Championships.

In 2015, Mario travelled and lived in Auckland, New Zealand, where he trained with various street dance-based companies. Later, moving to Auckland in 2017, he was mentored by Sunny Sun, a former member of The Royal Family Dance Crew. He also lived in Melbourne, Australia, where he trained under the leading Australian choreographer, Gina Michael. Mario has also travelled to Los Angeles, San Francisco (USA), Toronto (Ontario), and Calgary (Alberta) for training. In 2023, Mario returned to New Zealand to continue learning from notable choreographers and instructors from the Auckland dance community. That year, he also travelled to New York City as a choreographer and performer for MODArts Dance Collective’s Move to Change Dance Festival.

From 2021 to 2024, Mario was part of Afrobeats Van, training with Izo Gasangwa in Afro Dance. From 2022 to 2024, he was part of Soca Xperiene Collective (previously Vancouver Soca Xperience) under Tereza Paraschivescu and Eliana McFarlane, where he trained in Soca. Mario has also worked as an artist with MascallDance, where he has been a part of Dance In Vancouver 2024, the LIFT Festival, Inverso Intergenerational Festival 2025, and the Heart of the City Festival in 2024 and 2025.
