Michael Prosserman aka “Bboy Piecez” found his passion for break dancing at a very young age. By the time he was three, Michael was already standing on his head while watching Saturday morning cartoons.

Since then, Michael has performed for over 300 audiences, has spoken at over 100 schools, and has taught hundreds of workshops all over the world from Canada to Italy to Asia to the Arctic. Michael is the Founder and Executive Director of UNITY Charity an organization which empowers youth to be role models and leaders in their communities through after school programs in break dancing, graffiti art, spoken word poetry & beat boxing.

By grade eleven, Michael decided that he wanted to share his outlet of dance with other young people. Michael founded a youth-led organization called UNITY based on his grade 11 high school project. Since then, UNITY has reached over 100,000 young people across Canada through a variety of programs and presentations. UNITY teaches youth to use urban arts as a powerful outlet to relieve their stress and anger in a positive way.
