Moreover, he danced in works by George Balanchine, David Dawson, William Forsythe, Sol León & Paul Lightfoot, Wayne McGregor, Krzysztof Pastor, Alexei Ratmansky, Jerome Robbins and Liam Scarlett, among others. 

He has also performed in ballet galas around the world, including in Luxembourg, Miami, New York, Warsaw and Vienna, as well as at the Dance Open Festival in St. Petersburg.
